Girls names that DON'T ened in a vowel sound...Ideas?

Harder than it sounds, so many girls names end in -a -e -ie etc etc.

Our surname is an Irish O' name, and I am looking for a girls names that don't end in vowels as I think they sound odd with the vowel at the start of the surname.

I like strong names, nothing too girly and nothing cutesy. Like unusual but not weird or makey-uppy, and nothing too c-list sleb!

Any ideas for me?

Harriet - is our DDs name and can be shortened to Hettie or Harry but our DD insists on being called Harriet in full.

Isn't too cutsie but is still pretty I think.
