Dad needs help with names!

Girl Names
1

Hey everyone!

So my wife and I are expecting in [name_u]July[/name_u] (and we are super excited obviously! :D). But one thing we are sparring about constantly is names! We have some boys names picked out, but we are really struggling with girls - mainly because I am too picky, and she always says that I never bring anything to the table - I just spend my time vetoing hers! So can I get some help with some suggestions based on the names we already have in the mix? Names we like(ish) so far are:

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Iola[/name_f]
[name_f]Lumi[/name_f]
[name_f]Orla[/name_f]
Inti

We mainly like I, T and A names (but are open to others), that are long (two-three syllables) and have cute short versions (like Immie for [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]).

Thanks in advance!

A confused Dad-to-be!
