Retro Baby Girl Names- help!

I'm 37 weeks and in a bit of a panic about baby names.

We were totally in love with the name Pippa.... then found out it translates as something rude 😩in a lot of other countries. I still love the name, but can't bring myself to use it.

We are really disappointed and are totally stuck on names. Current contenders are:

Nina
Matilda
Ida
Beatrice
Margot

But we haven't got the same "Pippa" love for any of them. Any opinions or retro names suggestions are very much welcome. For some reason I feel like I can't bring her into the world nameless! Very stressed!

Middle name will be Sue after my mum x

Register her as Philippa but call her Pippa day to day? Philippa then gives her the option to use that if she ever decides to live in Greece/Denamark etc

Otherwise

Adeline/Adaline
Edith
Ethel
Ivy
Greta
Agatha
