Want a short but pretty girls name

My Dd is due in 6 weeks and DH and I cannot settle on a name for her.

I want something that isn’t top 10 and ideally is a one or two syllable name as we have quite a long surname.

Any ideas?

All too popular I think.

I grew up with a top 10 name. One of 2-3 in each primary class and one of 6 in secondary school year group. I’m Brno looking for “yoonique” just not quite so popular as my name was.

Bea.
Doesn't get shorter than that! Tess is also nice.
Altho my own name is one syllable - as is my surname- and would have preferred a longer name. Is the surname two syllables or more?

I was going to say Eve. It's not that common. I called mine top ten names and they are only one in school year.

Anya is nice but unusual. Like Anne-ya
