Frustrated...girls suggestions needed!

Hi All...hoping you could help me. I am expecting my first girl (I have 2 boys) and I'm having a hard time finding a name. DH is of no help...he is the kind of guy who shoots down all of my suggestions, but can't make any of his own (anyone have one of these?) :)
Here's the info:
Siblings names: Justin and Nathan (I was/am absolutely in love with my sons' names, but I am just not getting this feeling for any girls names!)
Middle names I like: I like one syllable mns...Reese, Brooke, Kate, Maeve to name a few...not stuck on these, though, and open to other names that are not one syllable.
Last name: 2 syllables and rhymes with "Forty"
Challenges: I am shying away from any name/nickname that ends in the "-ee" sound, since it is too sing-songy with our last name. So, I have been looking at a lot of names that end in "-a", although some of these names are a little too frilly for my taste. Perhaps a unisex name is what I'm looking for???? I dunno.
Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Congratulations. I had two boys and my 3rd was a girl. It was exciting - and a big change. :-)
Some names I think might work with Justin and Nathan:
Tessa
Miranda
Jillian
Sheridan
Hannah
Lydia
Erin
Jenna
Lauren
Kyra
I also think Brooke and Kate work well as first name choices.
I saw the suggestion of Tess (or Tessa) and thought - THAT IS IT! I personally think that it sounds wonderful with the boys. It is cute and strong, but not frilly. Grows up well to a woman.
A couple of others that I think would sound nice.

Anna
Elle
Callie

Good Luck (and my dh is exactly the same way! he shoots down my ideas left and right, but has never come up with a serious suggestion (lots of joke one's though) i totally relate!)

Megan
Erin
Lauren
Ellen
Helen
Maren
Allison
Ashlyn
Caitlyn, Katelyn

(1)Alissa

(4)Jane
and a good nick name since you have two boys would be sissy
my kids names are michael,eric,sara,rachel,brittany
Brittany is a pretty name
well i hope that i have helped in some way good luck to you and your family.
Thank you all for your beautiful suggestions. Some names I was considering were among them...they are:
Miranda - love it, but don't like any of the possible nicknames
Sophia/Sofia - falling for this one, but it is WAY popular in my area (although I personally don't know any), not sure if I care or not about that
Amelia
Juliet
...and I am intrigued by :)....
Chandler
Mattea
Violet
I do have a favorite name...it is Sabrina. I love it and always have. However, there's a glitch (isn't there always?). It is the name of the ex-g/f of our very good friend. He was dating her for about 1.5 years and hey broke up over the summer. I just would feel funny going with this name and what everyone would think. WWYD????
THANKS!
