Who knew girls names were so hard

We recently found out we were having a girl, and to say the names are going to be a struggle to narrow down is an understatement!!

Im very much into American country/western vibes, and for boys names I had it narrowed down to Mason or Wyatt. But can I get a girls name that I like.

Anything country themed for girls seems to be like Charlotte, or Delilah, and they aren't doing it for me.

I had thought of Reba Mae or Jessie (after Jesse James 🤠) Mae but I'm just not sure.

Unisex names like Sawyer or Oakleigh is out of the question as my partner is adamant they are boys names, which I kinda get.

Has anyone ever thought along these lines? Has anyone any suggestions I might not of heard of?
