Any suggestions?

Surname ends in a Y and is quite long so think it needs to be 1 or 2 syllables and not another ‘a’ sounding name.

I’m really overthinking this.

All I’ve got so far is Astrid and DP isn’t 100% sold

Dorothy was my great grandmother and I love it but it’s auite similar to our surname so I think it would sound odd.

Strangely Ruth and Helen are family names too but I’m just not keen, they scream middle aged lady to me

I have an Eliza Dorothy.

Have you any family names you can use?

Astrid is lovely. But I agree with you about choosing something non frilly with one or two syllables. I'd add that it should start and probably end with a consonant (because of the potential elision of e.g. Eliza-r-Alice).

Ruth
Helen
Lucy
Juno

Jane is the traditional name that goes with Eliza, either as a separate middle name or with a hyphen. It does flow nicely, so a name that sounds similar maybe?
