Girls names suggestions like Emily/Amelia but not so commonly used?

My friends have a little boy called Isaac and are struggling to decide on a name for his little sister, due this month. So I've told them Mumsnet is really useful for this sort of thing!
They like names like Emily, Amelia etc but would prefer something less popular.
Please help! Many thanks Smile

I think Juliet is a great option - a classic yet underused name.

My DD is Amalia, never met another .

Just bumping for more suggestions in case that elusive name they love is out there but hasn't been suggested yet? Some really good suggestions above though, thanks!
