Freya - any other ideas?

I'm overdue with DD and had pretty much settled on Freya Emily, but have just found out we can no longer use it. Only other name on my list was Florence, possibly with mn Eve or Emily again. I'm not sure I like it as much though as it's a bit formal and very popular round here.

Does anyone have any ideas of other names I might like? We have a one syllable surname so it needs to be reasonably long. Please help save me from making a hormonal rash decision!

Oops - posted too soon. What about using just Flora on its own?!

Flora is lovely!

Thank you for all the suggestions! I really like:

Eleanor/Helena - I have a close friend called Helena though which would make it bit weird to use these
Summer
Claudia
Charlotte (love this and was on my list but OH says no)
Layla (again, OH doesn't like)
Martha
Anna
Flora
Georgia
Lydia
Tessa

Glad you like Florence pasta, I was thinking about using the nn Flora, if that's not too big a jump

I have a Freya - her sister is Helena. Some names we either considered/ couldn't use or are sisters of other Freya's we know ( there are quite a lot of them out there, so personally I wouldn't worry about using it unless it's a v close friend or relative that's used it...)

Holly
Rosie/ Rosa/ Rosalie
Anna
Laura
Martha
Louisa
Elizabeth/Libby
Charlotte
Esme

Oh and Florence was on our list too, I think it's a lovely name - I just couldn't find any nicknames I liked. Or could you have Emily as a first name?
Best of luck x
