I came on to say Helen as well. I also really like Nel if you want a pet version.

My daughter's have four letter two syllable names and I love that they are punchy and strong but easy to spell and unfussy.

Ingrid sprung to mind at first.
Followed by Haida
and then Sascha ( not sure if that is frilly to some people but has always felt strong to me)
Also thought: Prisca, Portia, Nova
I have an Ilsa but wouldn't recommend as although I love it she constantly gets Ailsa, Elsa or Isla

Breaks your syllable limit, but Damaris - love it.

I love Hebe though, I’ve been trying to persuade people to use it for years - including DH!

I used to like the name Rhona. Rather I still like it but can see it wouldn't be useable now.
