Help: Girl names with a strong vowel

Hubby and I are trying to find girls names, and I have noticed a trend that we like names with strong vowels (like Wyatt, Ethan, Lane, Luke, Maia, Paige, & Bailey) but so far no girls names have really "popped" for both of us, so we are still looking.  I would like the names to be a little less common than the ones I listed, though that is hard given the current popularity of strong vowel names.  At this point we are desperate to find one we both love, LOL.  

So, any ideas for girls names with strong vowels?

*EDIT: discovered I don't know my pronunciation terms, LOL.  I am looking for names with LONG vowels. (i.e. that contain vowels that say their name).

Well, I went to go find the definition for you and discovered that I was incorrect in calling what a wanted a "strong vowel" LOL.  Apparently what I am looking for is called a "Long Vowel."

A long vowel is a vowel that says its name in a word.  For example, the word SAY had a long vowel, where the word SAW has a short vowel. 

We are now both educated, LOL.
