Names like Maureen, names like Daphne...

[TimeWasting]

Like Maureen, can't use it, like Daphne DH hates it.
What names are like those, but not those?

Can't really use names ending in -a due to surname.

Delphine. Aileen. Kathleen. Doreen.

My mum is a Maureen ,she hates it !The family always stress the second syllable rather than the first

Mm, I was thinking Eileen.

I guess I'm after Scottish or Ancient Greek names really aren't I?
