Challenging criteria for a character name

Writers' Corner
1

I could use some help coming up with a name for a character in children’s book. I’m looking for a name with a particular sound to suit an alliteration.

The perfect name is at least two syllable long - certainly could be more. The first syllable can start with anything. i think vowels might sound weird at the top, but i’d be happy to be proven wrong.

The important thing is the second syllable (or possibly third) should stat with an N sound. the N should feel prominent.

Names like [name]Denise[/name] and [name]Lenore[/name] fit the bill - the N is the start of a later syllable, the syllable that gets the most emphasis. where as a name like Deangela doesn’t work at all.

any thoughts?
