Any Name Suggestions???

I am American and my husband is German.  We are expecting two girls and have a very hard time coming up with names.  Although they are twins, we aren't looking for names that rhyme or necessarily start with the same letter or any of that.

I like names that are timeless....classic....  but not boring or TOO common.
- Nothing tooooooooo trendy or too old or too young.  
- The biggest catch is that the names have to be pronounced the same in English in German.  So many classic names exist in both languages and are pronounced differently.   (I understand that most of you dont speak German, but still - if you have suggestions, I am open! :)
- That means No names that start with "J" as "J" here is pronounced like a "Y"....
- Need to have at least 2 syllables because our last name is just one syllable.

For example, our 20 month old daughter's name is Sophia.  The only potential name we have been able to come up with is Isabelle or Isabella.  Other than that we don't have a single name on the list!!!!

Any suggestions of names?
or suggestions of good name websites?

How about Aarika?  Isabella and Aarika sound great. It is so hard to pick out names. me and my husband have the same problem. But I do think Aarika is a great name. Good luck

We were going to name our daughter Lily Anna, that way we could call her Lily OR use her middle name too and call her "Lily Anna".

Other names (and I'm using names of people I know that end with an "a") are:

Sylvia
Micah
Nadia
Corrina (pronounced Cor-Inna)
Sheila
Tara
Melia

Most of these people are between 25 and 35 years old...
