Girl's name

Hi everyone,
We're looking for a nice girl's name.
We already have a son named Sander, so we're looking for something that fits well with it.
Our style: not too long (2 syllables), easy to spell and pronounce, and clearly a girl's name.
Which name would you choose?
Thanks in advance!!

    Meike
    Jinte / Jente / Lente / Bente / Jette
    Sophie / Sophia
    Elin
    Elsa
    Anna / Anne
    Laura / Lauren / Laure
    Linde
    Wieke / Wilke
    Rosa / Rose
    Tessel / Tessa
    Imke / Imme

    I find the criteria a bit broad for now. So, same question as Emily: do you have any names that almost made it but didn't quite?

    I also thought of Lauren right away!
    But I think Anne and Lieke look nice too!

    Thanks for the tips in advance!
    We don’t really like names with an 'ie', so that probably won’t be it.
    We’re leaning towards something with an 'A' because our names and our son’s name (Sander) all start with an 'A'.
    Originally, we were going to go with Hanne, but we’re worried it won’t sound so nice due to the 'H'.
    We also like Marthe, but here in the Ghent area, it sounds quite harsh because of the 'R'. Plus, it’s a name you hear more and more often, which makes us hesitate too.

    I think Marthe is really beautiful too! Hanne is out, but then I think Hanna(h) is even more beautiful!

    I'm still thinking about Anne. That's also a really nice name! And then you don't have the 'H' problem with Hanne!
