Short girls names

Am not expecting until the end of the year but already thinking about this.
Have boys name picked.
If it is a girl will use my mothers name for second name and it ends in an "e" sound as does our surname.
So I want a short (max 2 syllabels) simple girls name. I already have an Olivia so it must go with that!
Thanks for any help.

Stumpy?

Stumpy Grin

I'm a short girl (well, girl is pushing it a bit at over 40 but hey Smile), with a short name. I like to think me and my name go well together.

Tess is a favourite of mine.

telsa · 09/05/2014 06:55

I think Joy goes well. Or Faye. Kim is also sweet.

atypicalwotsit · 09/05/2014 07:56

I like Kimi!
