First Name for TERRIBLE last name

This will be our first baby, and I am terrified of picking the wrong first name as our last name will already give our child enough problems.

Our last name is Russian, and when pronounced in English sounds like hard-ass.

Any ideas? They tell me I'm having a boy...

My first pick for boys is:
Connor Elias

My backup girl names are:
Geneva Claire (or Claire Geneva - after both of our great-grandmothers)
Caelyn Astrid
Dakota Rayne
Noelle Autumen

I am VERY open to ideas, would like a more traditionally masculine name.

I would name her something sweet then since "hardass" is so harsh.
