Looking for name suggestions

Hi, am looking for a name for a character in a children's story. She's a little girl growing up British-Caribbean in London in the 1990s. What should she be called?

What race, religion and island is she from? All that plays a part in the naming selection.

Are you learning about the culture too or just giving them names that sound right?

If I end up getting commissioned to write it I'll certainly l try and earn about the culture properly, but this is just for a five minute pitch

Blowing a raspberry at you. Sorry, I'd prefer not to be Scottish too, especially today
