Sister for Jonah

Jonah's baby sister is due November 30 and we are in the thick of trying to come up with a classic name that jives with Jonah. Jonah has two middle names; James, the middle name of my father and grandfather, and Hammel, which is my maiden name. Keeping a family name as the middle name is very important for us.
We like Violet, my grandmother's first name, and Brocklin, part of my other grandmother's maiden name, Van Brocklin, as middle names.
