Girls' versions of boys' names

We'd like to give our soon-to-arrive new baby a middle name after a member of DH's family. But the two family members that we would like to name a baby after are men, called David and Jacob, and new baby is (probably) a girl! I can't think of any half-decent feminine versions of these names.... Davida and Jacoba are just a bit naff!

Anyone got any inspired thoughts? Apart from hoping that baby turns out to be a boy!

Davina is often a female version of David I think.
