Finding a suitable name

Hi everyone,
I'm pregnant with our second child, due around July 17th.
Like many of you, we're looking for a fitting name.
Our daughter is named Indi. We'd love another short but strong name, preferably max 2 syllables, and easy to pronounce.
For a boy, we're considering: Jake, Jensen, Colin, or Shane.
For a girl, we'd love to hear: Penny, Lucy, Isla (pronounced as aila).
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Also all beautiful names!
    Although Lis isn't an option, that's what my sister's daughter is called
    Off to the library later, bringing along a few more books.

    Oh no, then Lis might not be such a good option
    for boys maybe Remi Alex Stan Jake

    Do you guys have that too? Certain names remind you of someone, and then you immediately think "Nooo"
    I think Jane is a really beautiful name, but I have a colleague named Jane, and I don't want to name my child after her (no offence). Or definitely not give the impression that I named my child after her.

    Yeah, I know that feeling
    For example, my husband's ex-wife is called Djamila, I think it's a really beautiful name, it also means beauty in Arabic.
    But his ex-wife is called that, and he didn't want to name our eldest daughter that.
    And also, a girl from my high school always bullied everyone and was terribly full of herself, and she was also called that.
    So for me too, the name got a negative vibe.
    So yeah, I get it. I always think it's a pity.
