Here are my favs: Brooke, Danielle, Sydney, Maggie, Rebekah, and Olivia

Here some names do not work with your last name because the of rhyming, etc
Ava Avaire
Claire Avaire
Ana/Anna/Hanna Avaire - too heavy on the As

You might like:
Delaney
Hadley
Harper
Iris
Ivy
Felicity
Sadie

Good luck!

Sydney- Sydney is cute. A bit trendy, but cute. I probably wouldn't use a name ending in -ie or -ey as your last name ends in the same sound and the flow isn't the greatest
Emma - beautiful, but very popular. Also, since your last name begins with an A, a name ending with an A also doesn't give the greatest flow.
Abigail - This is nice, but SOOOOOO popular. I'd avoid it
Ava - Ava Averie :) I really don't like the sound of that, not to mention that Ava is also reallly common around here
Ana - do you want the pronunciation "on-uh" or "ann-uh". I love "ann-uh", but would spell that Anna.
Hailey - Too cutesy and popular
Paige - I like this
Claire - Love this
Isabelle - too popular
Hanna - Love Hannah, spelt this way. Hanna seems incomplete
Maggie - Love it as a nn for Margaret or Megan. Megan Averie and Margaret Averie both have really nice flow. Averie is a difficult last name to find a first name that works really well with it, so I love both of those combos.
Rebekah - Beautiful
Abby - This is a nickname, not a full name
Jordan - outdated
Kylee - too cutesy
Danielle - okay
Jenna - Okay
Kaylee - see Kylee
Megan - Love this :)
Nicole - outdated (my name is Nicole and even I feel it is outdated)
Mackenzie - outdated
Ashley - outdated
Anna - love this, so classy
Madison - too trendy and popular
Olivia - pretty, but popular
Brooke - love it

I would take out Abigail, Ava, Hailey, Abby, Kaylee, Kylee, Isabelle Madison, and Olivia out all because of popularity. They are just not that exciting anymore.

I would narrow it down to Brooke, Anna, Megan, Sydney, Emma, and Claire.

Some other options...

Instead of Brooke, how about Blythe or Brynn?

Instead of Ana/Anna, how about Annabel, Annelise, Annika or Andra?

Instead of Hailey, how about Hilary or Hadley?

Instead of Ava, how about Ada, Adelyn, Adeline, Adelaide, or Adelaine?

Instead of Jordan, how about Jordana?

HTH,
-Nikki

With your last name, I like:

Sydney
Hailey
Paige
Danielle
Megan
Nicole
Brooke

Anything that ends in "a" is hard to say with your ln, IMO. Claire and Ava are a bit too rhymey with your ln, but I like those names.

AJ, enjoying life with C.
