Looking for a girl name that doesn’t end in the “ee” sound

Expecting my second, her sister is Penelope. So I’m looking for a girl name that doesn’t end in the same sound.

Names I like but do end in “ee” sound: Sadie, Billie, Mari, Hailey

Names I like but can’t use: Violet, Juliet, Colette

Clearly I like the “et” ending, haha. Ending in “en” sound would also be nice :)

Helen? Fits in with Penelope nicely (the Greek myth).

However, you need to find names that won’t be shortened with an Ee /Ie /Y ending, so assume you need something that is short enough it won’t be shortened yet works with Penelope.
