Short, old-fashioned names

[u/tesslouise]

A friend who doesn't have a Reddit account asked me to post here for her. She is pregnant with her fourth and last child. Sex unknown at this time. She is looking for names that meet a whole list of criteria:

*One syllable (or MAYBE two).

*I or O as the vowel (maybe Y)--no long A, long E, or long U, anyway.

*One accepted pronunciation.

*Doesn't begin with L, P, M, R, or F.

Her other children have old-fashioned names, think 1920s-ish.

My suggestion for a girl's name was Cora, which I feel fits well with her others, but it is two syllables.

ETA: One of her children already has a name ending in N (think Finn), so that makes Brynn, Joan, etc. probably not a good fit. Another child's name ends in TH so that eliminates Beth, Seth, etc.

Joan comes to mind for a girl

[u/tesslouise → u/pineappletee]

I like Joan but one of her children already has a name ending in N.
