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?

I really love the name Bay for a girl but DP wouldn't let me use it.

Fair enough, Boco, haven't come across it as a girls name before, I wondered if it had been a typo.

Alan isn't really my mum's name though. I just lied about that. She's called Bernardo, but that ends with a vowel sound.
