I vote for Kezia (as mentioned by cola above) - pronounced Kuhn-z aye-ah) - it's a family name for us and DD1's middle name.

A (French) friend just called their DD Zélie which I think is beautiful. V old fashioned and unusual in France too.

I love Severine, Anjou! I'm sure you've heard these before, Hyper, but there's always Ondine ( I know someone called that who goes by Deena), Sanne (pronounced Sanna), Aude, Louison, Francoise (always surprises me this hasn't crossed the pond).
