Sister for Noah

I just cannot seem to love any girls name. I'm not sure what it is. Boys names easy. Girls names impossible.

Criteria
2 syllables ideally
4 or 5 letters
As close being unshortenable as possible (like Noah)

I was always set on Matilda and it does go against the above. But I'm worried it will be shortened.

Just to add, due to the job I do I come across A LOT of people. So quite a number of names I write off because of that negative association.

@onlythebrave3 Ahhh thank you! I do like/love Matilda so it seems that best way to use both names without Rose also just becoming the "filler middle name".

@fourelementary Thank you but a lot of those names I associate with my childhood and therefore in useable, or they've already been used.

@pizzaHeart Too many Lucy's from my childhood. I quite like Lucia (loo-see-ah pronunciation only though)

@Manyandyoucanwalkover Sorry too long and all will be shortened.

@miniaturepixieonacid thank you for long list, nothing really standing out though. This is my struggle. I just don't seem to like any girls names. I find something wrong with them all.

I've thought about flipping it round and having Rose Matilda instead of Matilda Rose too.
