Can you recommend short girls' names that are suitable for a British couple to use and have no more than 3 syllables?

it could go on and on. I don’t think 3 syllables is short- do you mean not many letters? Or a short sound?

EDIT:
Sorry I should've been more specific. I like short names with short spellings.

For example Ann, Rose, Nell, Juno, Nia. More than Louise, Phoebe etc.

I also meant to write "have less than 3 syllables?" Not "have no more than 3 syllables?"
