Two syllables, five letters, not girly girls name?

Hit me with your best ones!

We have three girls already which is making it very hard to choose and we only have a few weeks to go Grin

We have absolutely no contenders as we can't agree on anything!

So far I have been vetoed on:

Meryn
Halle
Marin
Ellis
Petra
Quinn

But those are the sorts of names I like if it helps...

You've had Ellis vetoed but how about Eilis? Pronounced Ay-lish.

Amber, Marni, Taryn, Della, Ellen.

We have some of the names mentioned already!

Why so specific, well, we don't want the name to be shortened and the others all have a five letter, two syllable first name. We aren't obsessed with 5 letters, just those names seem to be the ones that are harder to shorten.

We like Margo, thank you! Also Freya but we know a Freya so not sure...

Forgot to add it should preferably be way down the list of top 100 names! DD3's name was 400 and something last year.
