Name that doesn't sound like a disease or Abba song

Name changed to an infrequently used one for this as going to totally out myself.

My surname is Miah and every girls name we like for DD3 (due in 4 wks) sounds like:

1 - a disease - eg Annie Miah.

2 - an Abba song - Jemima Miah

We have NO IDEA what to call DD3. To complicate matters DH likes something that can be shortened and I like to have a "nice" meaning for his mum who actually wants arabic names. I managed to do arabic for DD1, fudged it a bit with Greek but "good" meaning with DD2.

DD1 is Safina Miah (Saffy)

DD2 is Elaina Miah (Ellie)

For DD3 we have discussed:

Meredith - big no because of Amanda Knox case from DH Hmm
Amy - No from me bad memories
Esme - I like, DH says too hard to say

So help, throw some suggestions at me please!

We have a boys name we agree upon if that helps as a guide to what we like (def a girl though) which is Elijah, but my niece is Eliza so that blocks that one out.
