Classic/traditional girl names

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and trying to compile a short list. I think I'd prefer a classic or traditional type name but struggling to find one that I really love.

So far I've got:
Elizabeth
Emma
Phoebe
Margot - although I'm losing interest in this one
Anna
Mary

Then one that doesn't fit the pattern:
Gwendolyn

Any thoughts? Or further suggestions?

I really love Rose but I know it's quite popular.
