Help me find the sparkle!

TL;DR: what girl names give you a feeling of sparkle, twinkle, shine, moonlight, starlight? :sparkles::first_quarter_moon_with_face:

I’m very heavily pregnant and trying to finalise the middle names for our name list. We’re team green, and I’m largely happy with the boys names, but need help with the girls!

A number of the first names I like, and the names we’re contemplating for honour middle names (we’re using two middles) feel ‘sparkly’. Either because their meanings relate to sparkle, twinkle, light, etc, or because their sounds feel silvery and tinkling. E.g. [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], though it’s meaning relates to woods/forest, sounds like tinkling metal wind chimes to me. [name_f]Sigrid[/name_f] gives me vibes of a clear, cold, starry night sky.

What names do you think fit this vibe? Because of meaning, sound, vibe, or something else.
