Well, congratulations!

I was reading in a baby name book that when your last name starts with a vowel, it's not a good idea to choose a name that ends in one so it flows better and is easier to pronounce.

Right now I'm leaning toward Nina as a first name, but it breaks the vowel rule.
That's where middle names come in. Certainly don't rush. Let it incubate, and let it be something tasteful -- you've heard of idiot parents who name their girl Robin Banks and the like; bad news if Robin picks a career in finance, no? And it looks like you're steering clear of the Cleopatra Apostrophe Jones sort of thing, which is good. Home Grown Country names (usually perpetrated by city folk, huh) may be euphonious, but that's all they have to recommend them. I'm expecting some little black girl to show up toting the given name of Apostrophe any lustrum now... at least it's actually Greek...
