Girls names that don't end with -a or -ie sounds

Expecting DC 2 and in terms of girls names I want to use Jessie as the middle name (my lovely grandma's name who died earlier this year).

I feel that in combination with our surname and Jessie as a middle name that a name which doesn't end in -a or -ie sounds would be best. We quite like Karen, but would love some other suggestions.

Its interesting how a lot of the names listed might be considered 'dated' (popular for my or my mum's generation), but that makes them unusual for babies, which appeals.

I like Megan, Hazel and Honour so far.

I think these are reassuring names

I'm not sure Honour Jessie is a good idea as honour is also a verb so it sounds like an instruction to "honour Jessie" iyswim?

It's spelt Honor as the name, I don't think it would be a problem otherwise no-one would ever call their child it! No-one outside family knows middle names anyway, do they?
