Girls names that go with Xavier

We are struggling to come up with a girls name for number 2 due in a few weeks. Our DS is Xavier and I love his name. I think we're agreed on a name should this baby be DS2 but if it's a DD we're stuck any suggestions.

Names I like are Sylvie, Collette, Genevieve?
DH isn't keen on them except Collette but our surname also has a C sound, is that a no no? Also our surname is one syllable so ideally looking for a name of at least two syllables that won't be shortened?

I don't think having two names beginning with the same letter matters, but if you're not happy about it, then what about Nicolette - the original, longer, form of Colette?You could always call her Colette as a nickname.

Both Colette and Nicolette usually only have one 'L', not two.

If you like long names of French origin, then what about Amandine, Arlette, Juliette, Marianne, Melissa, Ninette.... there are lots more.

I really like Genevieve

Do you pronounce Xavier as 'Zav-ee-ay', or 'Zay-vee-uh'. Not that it matters too much but I tend to think of the second pn as the 'posher' one so might be suggesting 'posher' girls names.

Xavier and:

Arabella, Alexandra, Antonia, Anastasia, Aurelia, Alicia, Angelica, Aurora, Adriana, Araminta, Ariadne, Adrielle, Annika, Beatrice, Bianca, Cassandra, Clarissa, Cordelia, Carolina, Calista, Constance, Cadence, Camilla, Cecilia, Claudia, Celeste, Daphne, Delilah, Emmeline, Eleanor, Eloise, Erica, Elizabeth, Eliza, Florence, Francesca, Felicity, Georgina, Gabriella, Giovanna, Harriet, Hermione, Helena, Henrietta, Isabella, Isadora, Imogen, Jessica, Josephine, Joanna, Juliette, Juliana, Katherine, Lucinda, Lucille, Lydia, Louisa, Leandra, Lavinia, Leonie, Miranda, Matilda, Melissa, Madeleine, Miriam, Mariana, Marta, Natasha, Natalie, Natalia, Naomi, Nina, Olivia, Ophelia, Octavia, Ottilie, Philippa, Persephone, Pandora, Phoebe, Rebecca, Rhiannon, Rosemary, Rosalind, Rosalie, Sophia, Sapphire, Seraphina, Scarlett, Serena, Sabrina, Saskia, Tabitha, Thea, Victoria, Vanessa, Violet.
