The classic names again

We have a Jack and a Kate. We don't know what it is but have a boys name I think (although happy to hear any ideas) but are struggling with a girls name and are toying with the following for a girl:

Elisabeth - I don't really like any of the nn's so am afraid I would struggle to keep it at the full name
Mary - I kind of like this, its so plain its interesting (or maybe its just plain) but our last name starts with M, not sure that is a problem
Annie - This was our top last time but suddenly fell in love with Kate. I was never 100% on it.
Maggie - a strong contender
Daisy & Lucy - Nice but a bit weak and sweet for me

Any thoughts? Or ideas? I also like Rebecca and Laura but DH doesn't.

Maggie is my favourite of the ones you have mentioned. I always loved Margot but couldn't get it past DH

Elisabeth seems a bit long next to Jack and Kate, especially if you aren't going to shorten it. The others are all nice, I think I like Annie the best with the other names.

I like Mary and Rebecca - both lovely classic solid names.

Don't like Maggie at all, nor the full name Margaret, sorry. Reminds me of maggot.
