Aravah is actually quite beautiful (I know someone with that name) if you are in Israel.
Hadas is lovely.
Tamar (kapot tmarim).
Dvorah (for the bees in the Sukka).
Hadar (pri etz Hadar).

What about the wives of the Ushpizin... or if you want to really get wild, feminize the name of the Ushpizin of the day that your daughter was born...

I know someone born on the Ushpizin of Ahron, so she was named Elisheva (Aron's wife).
How about Batsheva after Reb. Kanievsky who was niftar yesterday?

I have a cousin born on Sukkos named Hadassa.
I like Batsheva--after a very special woman. And Sukkos itself has 7 days.

I thought of another one: Diklah, for the dekel (palm leaves) we use as schach.

We just named our daughter Hallel. She was born this past Shabbat.

Since it's a time of joy, you could also choose any of the names that mean joyous, like rina, gila, etc.

I just saw that Reb. Kanievsy's name was Batsheva Chaya.

MAZEL TOV!

My friend has a friend whose name is 'Shoava.' I think that this is a BEAUTIFUL name!! I love it! Her sister, I believe also born during Sukkot, is 'Dahlyt' which means 'drawing water up' (I heard.)
Also, you could use water names for beit haShoava: Maya/Mayim, Galit/Gal/Galia, or if you're a bit out there, Yam or BatYam.
I think Arava is a beautiful name as well!

Hadar is a great suggestion, too! Just don't name your kid 'pri etz hadar.' I heard of a woman naming her daughter 'Pitchiya Hadar' (the opening of splendor).

Chagit would be hard for Americans, Dikla is just mean for Americans as well. (They laugh because it sounds like another word--I've seen it.)

Simcha, like 'zman simchateinu.'

What about a name that has to do with dew/changing prayers?
Also, what about names that have to do with rain?

Meital/ Ortal / Talya / Tali / Tal

Raviv/Revital/Reviva
רָבִיב Rain.
Revital
רְוִיטַל The meaning of the name "Revital" is: "drink dew (טל, tal) and quenched your thirst".
Reviva
רְבִיבָה The name "Reviva" is derived of the word "רָבִיב" (raviv, "rain").

Stav
סְתָו (סתיו) Autumn, fall.

b'sha'ah tovah Smile

Tishrei is a time when HaShem shows His abundant love towards his people, and that is what the chag of Sukkot is all about, so I'd go with a name like ELIANA or AHUVA. I feel like using such a name really taps into what this time of year is all about.

good luck deciding!!

I know an Esther who was born on Succos.
The connection? Hadassim-Hadassah-Esther, another name for Hadassah.
