Short and sweet girls names wanted

My dh is one of those men with strong opinions but no suggestions when it comes to baby names!
So far when throwing suggestions at him, short ones with o and e seem to be doing best ie he likes Zoe (I’m not sure), Chloe (I think it’s a little too common) and Cleo (we both like this one). Anything else we might like? About the only other one I have on the list is Layla/Leila which I’m going to try to persuade him on again.
Names with French origin would be preferred but far from essential!
Thank you!

Some kids struggle to prenounce names like Lillia so L’s can cause a problem

I like Hope and Kate simple a sweet doesn’t sound like it was born on the set of EastEnders 😂 and shouldn’t result in being picked on for their name
