Help - all the girl names we like rhyme with our surname!

My husband and I have been struggling to come up with girls names as nealy all the ones we love end in ELLE ( as well as all the alternative variations such as EL) and our surname is Cordell (emphasis on the 2nd syllable).

The names we love are:

Annabelle
Rosabel or
Gabrielle.

I have thought of putting an "A" on the end of all of these but it just all seems too long winded and complicated.

Does anyone have a similar situation? Or are we thinking too much and the names we like actually sound fine with our surname?

The name for a boy is a dead cert as it is Albie (after my grandad).

All suggestions welcome - even other names that could work well with the surname. Thanks

I think they sound fine with your surname. It's not as if you are going for Bordell Cordell.

All the names mentioned by OP are lovely classic traditional names, the very antithesis of comedy/pornstar!Confused
