Thanks for your suggestions so far!

Some names we can’t use because we already have them in the family but options could be
Orla Florence
Orla Matilda
Orla Marie
Orla Maria
Orla Mary
Orla Nancy

a few of these have family links I just wasn’t sure if they flowed. Surname is short, one syllable

do you think another name ending in ‘a’ sounds ok?

I wouldn’t personally use another name ended in ‘a’

Have you considered using a friends name? If I'm lucky enough I'm going to give my child my best friends name. Hope it doesn't sound childish but my friend has been a rock through a lot of personal struggles (TTC), and I would want my child to know how highly I regard my friend.
