Names I can't use

This is going to be easier than just asking for names. I posted yesterday but need more inspiration from the experts here.

Not due for a while but need to believe this baby is happening, so I think a short list of names should help me. I'm having a girl.

I can't use the following names because they are family/friends etc:

Erin
Sophie
Evelyn
Amelia
Olivia
Natalie
Rose
Amy
Jane
Arabella
Belle
Lola
Grace

I want a name that is easy for me to say. For example, I like Olive but no one else does! DH is obsessed with nns and likes Cecilia (nn Cece) which is nice but I'm not sold. Lydia was suggested and is lovely, but still not the one.

The one I know is pronounced EZ-mee, but I think Ezmay is acceptable too. It's a lovely name.

Esme is lovely, how would you say it? Ez-may or Es-mee or Ez-mee or another way?!

I don't think Violet is massively girly, but fair enough. Do you like:

Ava
Clara
Esme

Grin I do like it, and it was between that and Olive, but someone pointed out that it is quite girly and what if my baby isn't etc
