Girl names?

Hello! My husband and I are expecting a baby girl. I am part Armenian and would love to have some of our family identity passed down, since her middle and last name will not be. What are your thoughts on easy to pronounce Armenian girl names for Americans?

There's a good article on Wikipedia with the list of Armenian names, but it's not in English unfortunately https://hy.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D5%80%D5%A1%D5%B5%D5%AF%D5%A1%D5%AF%D5%A1%D5%B6_%D5%AE%D5%A1%D5%A3%D5%B8%D6%82%D5%B4_%D5%B8%D6%82%D5%B6%D5%A5%D6%81%D5%B8%D5%B2_%D5%A1%D5%B6%D5%B1%D5%B6%D5%A1%D5%B6%D5%B8%D6%82%D5%B6%D5%B6%D5%A5%D6%80%D5%AB_%D6%81%D5%A1%D5%B6%D5%AF

Those are nice Armenian names, but the question is about names that are easy to pronounce for Americans.

It's the list of all the names so they can pick the one that is easy to pronounce for them.

You can open Russian version of this article and translate it to English (ofc you can translate Armenian version, but I suspect that a direct translation of names like "The eldest" or "New Year" is incorrect)
