Girls name inspiration

[anotherBadAvatar]

We have a difficult surname (4 syllables, italian), so finding a name to go with it is proving a bit tricky! Names like amy/ellie/sophie are out due to the "ee" sound at the end of the name clashing with the surname.

So far we have;

Harriet
Imogen
Isabel/Isabella
Emma
Abigail

Any ideas, and any middle names to go with them? We quite like Abigail Emma or Harriet Emma, but getting stuck on the same few names!

I love (and can't use):
Livia
Lydia
Ismay (is 'ay' too close to 'ee'?)
Vivian
Naia
Thalia
Elinor
Celeste
Elise

Anna
Alice
Annabel
Beatrice
Clara
Caroline
Charlotte
Ellen
Eleanor
Esther
Eva
Eliza
Francesca
Flora
Florence
Georgia
Hannah
Iris
Isadora
Louisa
Lucia
Lara
Matilda
Martha
Marina
Maria
Olivia
Rosa
Rebecca
Sophia
Susanna
Sarah
Violet
Zara

Some good names on those lists! So many have been used by close friends lately, so unlikely to use Alice, Elise, Eva, Olivia, Sophia, Florence. Good ideas for some of these as middle names though.

I think I'd personally avoid any long names such as Harriet which could become Hattie or Abigail which could become Abbie. If you don't want an EE ending sound.

Totally get your point babyspider, we have thought of that. DH wants to shorten Harriet to "Harry" which I have pointed out to him also ends in the "ee" sound, but saying that I do like Harriet Matilda.

Would you possibly go down the Italian route is is the connection not strong enough? I think a lot of Italian names are beautiful.
