In search of names that 'fit'

Girl Names

My name is [name]Gwendolyn[/name] ([name]Gwen[/name]) & my husband is [name]Jacob[/name] ([name]Jake[/name]). We would like to find a girls name that is either four letters, a longer with a four letter nickname, or a one syllable name. I am also partial to names that end in ‘a’, welsh & Irish names. Our last name is Hostetl3r, here is our list so far

[name]Tessa[/name] - [name]Tess[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name] - Veve, [name]Evie[/name]
[name]Thea[/name]
[name]Shea[/name]
[name]Bryn[/name]
[name]Tara[/name]
[name]Faith[/name]
[name]Reese[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name] - [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Chelsea[/name] - Chels

Names that don’t exactly fit but we love
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Greta[/name]
[name]Maeva[/name]

My husband vetoed [name]Kate[/name], [name]Brooke[/name], [name]Nora[/name], [name]Mara[/name] & [name]Erin[/name]
