Names for James for girl

I would like to honor DH's dad somehow.  His name was James Leo (went by Jim).  He was killed in an accident when DH was 14.  I'm trying to think of some girl names besides Jamie.  Could be FN or MN.  I don't really want to use James as the MN.  I have a friend that did that for her DD and we live in a really small community, but I'm not totally ruling it out.  Or if anyone has suggestions with Leo besides Leah.  Thanks!

    Jamesita, Jamesetta, Jaye, Jamese...... the first two might be kind of clunky.

    You could do Cleo for Leo.

    I second the Leona suggestion. Or maybe Lea/Leah?

    I don't think Jacqueline is a stretch at all -- Jacques is French for James, essentially (yes, via Jacob, from which the name is derived).  Jacquetta is another possibility.

    Oh thanks for the suggestions!  None that I'd thought of!  Leona is great!

    I like Jane as a female version of James 
    ( I think its similar sounding/looking without being made up as PP said or too Unique)

    I adore PPs suggestion of Jacquetta. It's one of my GP names. I also like Jacqueline. I love Lenore/a and Leona.

    I think using the initials is a good idea as well.

    I have a friend who wanted to honor her late father James. She picked Jameson for a boy or girl. She now has a little girl Jameson (no nn) and is perfect/adorable.

    Oh what a sweet story!  I have a friend who's daughter has the middle name James after her father.  I thought it was odd at first (he's still living), but it's just a MN.

    I encountered a little girl at the park a couple months ago and her name was Mary James.
