THE NAME GAME! I Need More Ideas for a Girl Name

I am having the hardest time coming up with something both me and my Hubby love. I have come up with some criteria based on things like the sound of our last name and some personal preference, and these things dramatically cut down our options:

Cant begin or end in a C or K sound.
Can't have an "s" or "c" or "z" in it (i have a slight lisp which annoys me)
Can't be the top 10 names of 2010. (http://tinyurl.com/29dag35)
Can't be shortened to Abby, Addie, Gabby, Maddy, Maggie .
Can't rhyme with Mya (our DD's name. ie. Lila)

Thanks for playing!

My cousin just had a baby girl in Sept, and she named her daughter Alayna Grace. My daughter is named Elizabeth Mae, and I have always liked the name Jordyn Nikole.

I have two names. We named our daughter Eleanor, you can call her Elle, Ellie, Ella, or none of the above.

Also, one of her friends is Amelia, but they call her Millie for short.

Good luck!
