I have a soft spot for Rodya, the diminutive Rodion Raskolnikov's mother calls him by in Crime and Punishment. It just rolls off the tongue so well

Click question.
Yesha.. it’s the name of my unborn daughter.
Back then I thought of having a daughter and that would be her name. Anyway I don’t think I’ll get a daughter in the near future.
Guys, just help me with a quick search:
Tell me names that sound sweet to you. Not cute or with nice meanings, but the sounds, the combination of vowels and consonants and the order. That feels gentle in your mouth, that you could whisper to a baby, that when you think of it you can imagine parents saying it with the utmost love, even if it weren't their kid's name you'd think they can only be talking about their kid, because of how tender it sounds.
Alternately, you can also (and/or) tell me just words, regardless of language and meaning, that sounds lovely (not pretty, not cute, not cool, just… tender), I'm tryna figure out what phonetic aspects might cause this soft feeling, if there's any tendency.
Either way, tell me your mother tongue, if you're comfortable, so I can keep track of possible variables.
