Help! Girls name that goes with a difficult surname

Our surname is Fitchie and DH and I are really struggling to find a girl's name because we don't want it to end with an ie or an "ee" sound and rhyme.

I would also ideally like a name with a family connection. Our family is a mix of Scottish, English and Danish so have considered the following:

Alexandra
Cora
Elspeth
Elizabeth
Penelope
Catherine/Katherine
Catriona/Katrina/Karina
Ruth

Do you like any of these? Any other suggestions?

Alexandra, Elizabeth and Cora are all lovely.

Elizabeth was my first thought when I read your surname.

Alexandra and Elizabeth are good because they both offer nn that don't end in 'ee' e.g. Alex, Sasha, Eliza, Beth.

Penelope will probably end up as Penny.
