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.

I have an Esme (pronounced Ez-mee)

Everyone comments what a beautiful name it is

If you are still thinking about Cecilia but don't like Cece as a nn, then the north Dutch/north German/Scandinavian nn for Cecilia or Celia is 'Silke' (SIL-kuh or ZIL-kuh).

we had these on our list

luna
alana
elena
lyra
faye
lola
demi
lucy
jasmine
kiara
Charlotte (loved lottie as a girly nn but if tomboyish charlie)

we preferred shorter names overall - however both dds ended up with nicknames longer than their actual names!!
