Girls names ending in a constant

Just days away from giving birth and although we have narrowered our possible boys name down to two, we are having trouble finding the right name if it is a girl. So frustrating! wondering if you guys could help.
Right now im getting a bit bored of names ending in vowel sounds and while I kind of like nature names, im getting pretty bored of them too.
What are some girls name that end in a constant and are not nature-y. Bonus points if it is Scottish.

Are first dd is named Edith and unfortunately Elspeth is out. Other names we have on our shortlist (but again, we just don't seem to love them but to give you an idea)

Morvan
Murron
Ishbel
Agatha
Iris

So in other words, vintage-y, non-cutsie names.

Edith and Sybil might be a bit Downton-y Smile.

I'm probably repeating a few but here goes:

Tess
Beth
Elizabeth
Tamar
Seren
Frances
Joan
Jean
Lilith (prob not with Edith though)
Tamsin
Winifred
Gwendolyn
Jessamyn
Morag
Enid (prob not with Edith)
Evelyn (but you could end up with Evie and Edie which could be odd)
Beatrix
Ingrid
Caitlin (or any of the spellings)

If you are Scottish, I've always had a soft spot for Bridie (but it does end in a vowel).

Just use Morven- it's fantastic.

Mirren good too (but there may be a different Scottish spelling, not sure, but I'm sure some Scottish MNers would know)

You don't need any more. Morvan is fantastic. Use that. :)
