Girls' Name Ideas

I'm looking for girls' names that are only 1-2 syllables and do not end with an a or "uh" sound. Thanks!

UPDATE: I would prefer 1 syllable names, and for 2-syllables, this is for a hyphenated name (examples: Mandy-Jo, Sara-Lee), so nothing too trendy or complex, please. Thank you!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you to everyone who sent me ideas! A couple of you gave me some names I hadn't considered! Thanks again!

Best baby name site EVER. It has a bunch of different search fields so you can narrow down names based on syllables, sounds you do or don't want in it, popularity, etc. It's awesome.
