Girls names. Really no ideas!

We are having a girl and really struggling with names. We were both so sure it was going to be a boy and we would name him after my grandpa but now have no ideas for girls!
We like tradition names that can be shortened but don’t want anything too old lady like. I like the name Anna but would prefer to have a longer name shortened to that. DP already has an Isobel so I think Annabelle is out.
DD will have a Scottish surname (a Mc) and I am Scottish so something that fits in with that would be good. But nothing too twee!
Any suggestions for the two most hopeless decision makers in the world would be great!

Amber-Lyn=Ann Boleyn. Grin

Who's Ann Boleyn?
That hyphen adds klass doesn't it, although Amberlynne is good too. I quite like Amberleigh but it might not work if you live in Camberley.
