Girls name that starts with a vowel and doesn't end with 'a'...

[CalamityLame]

Any ideas?

Elizabeth
Alice
Olive
Anne
Abigail

There are loads!

Annabel
Anneliese
Eleanor
Esther
Imogen
Isabel

Are you counting "y" as a vowel? Assuming you are:

Imogen, Elizabeth, Elspeth, Ingrid, Ann, Annabel, Eleanor, Agnes, Amber?

Eleanor
Eloise
Imogen
Isobel

Eloise
Anais

I know there are - It needs to go in between Harriet and Claudia and be pleasing to the ear. Annabel is what I am basing this on, because it sounds right and I love it, but it has been rejected.

Ellen, Amy, Ingrid, Eileen, Unity

Anais is lovely, but doesn't quite fit. This is for my BF, who is struggling. I thought we could harness the power of MN to help!

Evelyn, Avaline, Olwyn

Annie
Anne
Adele
Amy
Esme
Elodie
Eve
Ottilie
Olive
Evangeline

Top tip - say you love some really awful ones and suddenly Annabel won't seem so bad

cece I like that tip - very sneaky! I have a feeling she'll see through me though, as I am not very sly.

You'd like an 'A' name?

Amber, Alice...

Eleanor
Ellen
Amy

Annabel is a LOVELY name :)

It is, isn't it? though I think she knows a little terror called Annabel - it's such a shame when lovely names have bad associations.

Annette?
Alys?

Amelie is lovely

Evelyn
Emily
Eve
Alice
Agnes
Iris
Ivy

Amy
Alice
Annette
Abigail
Ann

I don't know. I might suggest that she lurks and tries to spot something. With names, I've always thought that all the rules in the world won't come up with the right name - you have to really love a name and then it won't matter if it's not the right number of syllables or whatever.

Thanks ladies, there is a really good list of suggestions for her upthread.

Some are probably repeats:

Anne, Annie, Annabelle, Amelie, Abigail, Alexis, Alice, Amber, Autumn, April, Ariel, Angel, Addison, Ashlynn, Adrienne, Adrielle, Annalise, Astrid, Agnes, Annette, Adelaide, Aoife, Aisling, August, Athene, Eve, Evelyn, Elle, Ellen, Eleanor, Elizabeth, Elise, Elsie, Edith, Edie, Esme, Esther, Eloise, Elodie, Esther, Erin, Eden, Ebony, Elin, Ellis, Effy, Isabelle, Ivy, Iris, Ingrid, Imogen, Ines, Opal, Olive.

Harriet and Claudia are very tough names to sandwich something in between. I think your choice of Annabel is ideal since the A sound echoes the A sound of Harriet and the syllables are balanced. Claudia is imo a very strong name and a wispy sounding name in front of it would be lost, but would also strangely enough run the risk of making Claudia look very tacked-on-at-the-end, giving a 'child named by committee' impression of the naming process.

Alexandrine or Alexis might work too.

Putting Harriet first and Claudia second with another name last would be easier imo.
