Looking for an unfrilly and fairly classic girls name that would work well internationally. Love Anna but can't use it. Any ideas?

Oh I see Lara has been mentioned! I love Lara too. I've been hoping for it to really take off, it's so lovely and elegant and timeless and has never been overused. I used to love Elsa for the same reasons but that's going to become top 10 soon, if it isn't already, thanks to Frozen.
