Girls names to go with unpronounceable surname?

Please help! My surname is long and Italian/Greek sounding, begins with 'ch' sound and ends with 'is'. If we have a girl then the middle name will be Rachel, but we're really struggling with first name suggestions. So I reckon we should restrict to 1 or 2 syllables, not too unusual and definitely easy to spell. So far the only ones dh and I can vaguely agree on are:

Eva
Leah
Anna... any thoughts or other suggestions?

Thank you!

For the purposes of this thread, I'm pretending your surname is Chipolatasitis.

Your names are good - agree you need one or two syllables. Avoid 'ch' 'k' and 's' in first name too. Names starting with vowels might sound best.

Anna is a lovely name and as it is used in many countries it "fits" with a foreign sounding surname.
