“Cool” 4 or 5 letter vintage style names for girls?

Asking for a friend, not for me unfortunately.

A friend has 3 girls and is going to have a 4th. girl. Her 3 girls are called Nova, Cleo and Zuzu. She and her husband would like another (preferably) 4 but no more than 5, letter names in this style. Names that feel almost vintage but a little quirky too.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA

They are not vintage style either.

Oh FFS who cares

Look up French diminutive eg Lison. Zuzu would be a reasonable diminutive for Suzanne

Another here to ask what's wrong with Dido?

I’d assume because it’s similar to Dildo and children are merciless with name calling

Zuzu?

Where'd she get that from?

Ignore the ridiculous folk who think they're funny, OP. FYI for them, Nova has been in use since the 1910s and far pre-dates the car https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Pilbeam Meanwhile, Cleo is derived from the name of a Greek muse (Clio) and you can't get much older than that. You may as well laugh at generations of Spanish women for being called Mercedes. Anyway, moving on, names to add:

Lana
Lene
Mara
Coco
Marci
Anja
Morna
Aphra

It’s the wrong length and not like the others, but I think Vivien would go very well. It is definitely vintage.

I realise that the first 2 are actually spelt Zillah and Sienna, but I was sticking to 5 letters.

Vivi fits the letters though!

Stevie would be cool if it weren't soooo long!

Your friend’s daughters have batshit ugly names. Sorry, but I don’t think there’s any point in trying to help.
