Sister for Frida

DD1 is Frida (which we know is a bit of a marmite name, but we love it and it suits her very well).

DD2 due any day and we can't quite find something we like as much.

Current front-runners are:
Dorothy (Dora for short, probably)
Nell (just Nell, not short for anything)
We both like Aphra but think it sounds too much like Frida? Possibly as a middle name.
Ivy was near the top of the list but DP went right off it when he saw how popular it was getting.

I also like Edme - a family name and I haven't heard of any others, but think she will basically just get called Esme all the time.

Any thoughts on the above or other ideas. We quite like granny-ish names, as you might be able to tell...

I'm not keen on Nell.

Dorothy is okay and Dora is a cute nickname.

Is it pronounced Free-da. My Nan was a Freda short for Winifred.
Out of your suggestions. I quite like Nell.
