Hello! I'm half-French, half-English (living in France) and my husband is Berber, so our daughter is going to have three names (French - Berber - English).
The French name will be Olivia (it is rare in France), the Berber name Lehna (meaning "peace"), but we can't settle on an English name.
It must :

be immediately identifiable as English
not start with an E or P (the initials would sound silly in French)
not start with the sound [a]

ex :
Olivia Lehna Cecily (but husband doesn't like it)
Olivia Lehna Juliet

any other ideas please? I'm due in 6 weeks!

Juliet is beautiful. What about Phoebe? Is that seen as French?

I quite like Rose but it is spelt the same way in French, so people won't see it is English...

I was going to suggest Rose too! I think a one syllable name would work well

Olivia Lehna Rose?
