Baby name help needed!!

i have never posted on here, been a silent reader for years! However I really need help with girls names. I’m pregnant with baby #2 and do not know the gender yet, however have a few boys names listed already.
I have a daughter called Lake, and would love a name that goes nicely with it. Preferably short names as I’m not a fan on super long ones. A few names I like but probably won’t be using as OH isn’t a big fan are: Lyla, Lottie, Kaia, Maeve.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!☺️

Quinn is gender neutral, however I believe it’s actually more popular as a female name these days.

I’d avoid a water theme but stick with short, subtle nature or maybe virtue ones.

Maybe Heath, Leal or Fen for a boy? And Briar, Blythe or Wren for a girl?

Then people could joke if the third kid will be Pond etc.

Heath & Jago, I said these two. Very uncommon but likeable names.

There's a family in USA with sextuplets, which includes Layke, Rivers and Raine.
