Sister for Wiley?

Name Advice
1

[name_f]My[/name_f] SO and I already have a son named [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] ([name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] being my SO’s full name). We are not currently TTC but the name nerd in me wants to be prepared. We already have a boy named picked out for #2 ([name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]) but we are on opposite sides of the girl name spectrum. I tend to like short, boyish and/or nickname type names on girls: [name_f]Andie[/name_f], [name_u]Joey[/name_u], [name_f]Molly[/name_f], [name_f]Alma[/name_f], [name_u]River[/name_u]. However, my SO has shot down just about all of them. He would like to name a girl [name_f]Leona[/name_f] after his grandmother, I like [name_f]Leona[/name_f], but I don’t love it. I would prefer it be in the middle name spot or as an unused first name (i.e. [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_u]River[/name_u] called “[name_u]River[/name_u]”). He has also decreed that there will be no more ends in -EE names ([name_m]Wiley[/name_m] & [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] are quite enough).

The only other name beside [name_f]Leona[/name_f] that we currently agree on is [name_u]Kit[/name_u].

I’ve scoured the web for unusual boyish & nickname type names (that don’t end in -EE) and every single one has been shot down. Here’s hoping you can come up with a few that I’ve missed. (Extra points if it has a ‘southern feel’)

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I like [name_u]Joss[/name_u], [name_u]Jules[/name_u] & [name_f]Brynn[/name_f].

Unfortuantely my SO already vetoed [name_u]Jules[/name_u] due to it being too similar to his mom’s name, [name_f]Julia[/name_f] (they aren’t very close). Also, his brother is named [name_m]Josh[/name_m], would [name_u]Joss[/name_u] be too similar?

Any more suggestions?
