Need help with short names

Girl Names
1

We are looking for a shorter girl name, 1-2 syllables. We really liked [name_f]Jade[/name_f] but my husband thinks it’s too similar to our son’s name: [name_u]James[/name_u]. He thinks with the one syllable names both starting with the “[name_u]Jay[/name_u]-” sound it will be too confusing for them, never knowing if they’re the one being called. Then [name_f]Emma[/name_f] was too popular. We both like [name_f]Mila[/name_f] but my heart isn’t quite feeling it…

We also need to consider that our last name starts with O, so no H or B names. It’s also really long (think Redenbacher like the popcorn), hence why we’re looking at short names.

I’m starting to get frustrated, any suggestions? :confused:
