Help - all the girl names we like rhyme with our surname!

My husband and I have been struggling to come up with girls names as nealy all the ones we love end in ELLE ( as well as all the alternative variations such as EL) and our surname is Cordell (emphasis on the 2nd syllable).

The names we love are:

Annabelle
Rosabel or
Gabrielle.

I have thought of putting an "A" on the end of all of these but it just all seems too long winded and complicated.

Does anyone have a similar situation? Or are we thinking too much and the names we like actually sound fine with our surname?

The name for a boy is a dead cert as it is Albie (after my grandad).

All suggestions welcome - even other names that could work well with the surname. Thanks

I would pick a variant of one of the names that doesn't rhyme especially if you are going to call her by a nickname like Rosie, Gaby or Bella anyway. I especially like Rosalie and Gabriella. Actually, they are all nice names

I wouldn't make the names deliberately rhyme, but I wouldn't judge you if you chose to! I like the idea of turning the -elle into -ella.

Gabrielle with nn Gabby is the best of your choices!!

How about Rosalie? Rosamond? Rosanna?

Personally, I think the rhyming names would be awful. How about Rose Cordell? You could call her Rosie, and she would have the given name of Rose for later in life if she wanted to sound more professional. I think Rosie Cordell is lovely.
