Violette and other names that don't end in 'a'.

I quite like Violette for a girl. Is that spelling ok?

Looking for a girls name that doesn't end in 'a'. Quite like:

Irene (thinking 'European chic' rather than permed older lady)!
Imogen
Carine
Jennifer (a bit dull)?
Joan (I know it's an old lady name, but could be cool)?
Mathilde (not sure of spelling)
Evangeline
Adelaide/Adeline
Madeleine
Caroline
Jacqueline (although will this inevitably be Jackie)? I think this is a lovely name and maybe due a revival? Maybe not quite yet though.

Not keen on Juliet/Juliette, Mary or Marie.

I would pronounce Violette differently to Violet.

I like Violet and
Irene
Joan
Evangeline from your list

I also prefer Violet.

Imogen and Madeleine are the others I like from your list. How about Rachel, Hannah, Harriet, Sophie, Miriam, Iris or Alice?

Imogen gets my vote with Madeleine a close second. Don't like Caroline and Mathilde would probably end up as Matilda so you'd have your "a" at the end

I prefer Violet. But best on your list is Joan.
how about
Ottilie
Mabel
Meredith
Jean
Sally
Maude
