Whoops E on the end of Charlotte is NOT a consonant !!!

No but it is a consonant sound. It's generally not pronounced.

Gosh, there’s a lot of suggestions that actually end in a vowel! 🤔

It may have been a pet form a long time ago but it's been a separate name for a very long time now. Lovely name.

OP said she wanted a consonant or consonant sound, so Charlotte etc fit her criteria but Lucy does not, because the ‘y’ at the end functions as a vowel and vowel sound.

It is not. It is the English form of Henriette and has been a name in its own right for hundreds of years.

Happy to be corrected on the origin but I maintain that it has been regarded as a name in its own right for a very long time. I have my pedantic moments but dismissing Harriet because it is a diminutive is next level.

How does anybody cope being this pedantic in real life? I know several women called Harriet and not one has Henrietta as their given name. It’s a common well-used name in its own right, just as Harry is also commonly used as a given name separately to Henry. Perfectly fine to call a baby Harriet, and it does end in a consonant.
