I love the spunkiness of Colette. It's one of those overlooked gems that I'd love to see make a comback.

I have a hard time combining when the fn is two syllables, stress on the second syllable. The best ones here seem to be the ones with a long, flourishing mn that throws the stress out as far away as possible from Colette. So these may not be what you're going for. But it was fun trying. Thanks. :-)
