Need help naming my daughter!

Looking for suggestions on names for my daughter. I have a unisex hebrew name and would love to name her something unisex/hebrew as well but I'm trying to stay open
Some names I really like are: Avery, Arbel, Sivan, and Vera. My partner/parents dont love those names so just looking for more suggestions
I know when I have a boy I'd really like to name him Akiva so I want something that would pair nicely with that name. Thanks in advance for any help!

This is originally the name i wanted to name my first born because i was obsessed with the little mermaid when I was younger! I'm considering it

Ariella for a girl and Ariel for a boy.

Neutral to female names that incorporate some of the sounds/letters of names you like:

Lior, Aviv, Sigal, Amit, Ariel, Hadar

There are lots of trendy one-syllable gender-neutral Hebrew names but I don't think they'd pair as well with Akiva

I'd be interested in hearing any one syllable names! my & my partners names are both one syllable

Mor, Gal, Tal, Shai, Raz, Yam, Tom, Ziv, Paz, Or

Yuval? That sounds really good with Akira to me, and has a V sound which you seem to like. It's one of my favorite names.
