Can you think of any short female names that end in A?

I think most of the two/three syllable names, ending with an 'A' have been listed above.

Some more suggestions to add to this MN list:
Althea
Anya
Julia
Mika
Portia
Tessa
Viola
Zola

Oh and if you have Irish roots then Saoirse [SEER-sha] is a pretty name.

Rona - Means "My joy"

Alma - Means "Soul, nourishing, kind"

Sara - Means "Princess"

Asha - Means "Hope / desire"

My favourite name at the moment is Amy. It means "Loved". I know you wanted something ending with an a but I just wanted to share.

Lyra and Lyla and Lila (Leela) are my favourite ending in 'a' names at the moment. If I had another DD I would struggle to choose which one I like the most.
