What's your favourite unfussy girl name?

Dd3 is due any day, we won't name her till we meet her but I'm struggling to even get a shortlist.

By unfussy I mean something not too out there, not made up and not a nickname.

Thanks!

Rachel, Charlotte and Lucy were my girl shortlist

Alice, Anna or Emily.

Also like Daisy - not generally into flower names but daisies are tough, self sufficient little flowers as well as pretty, not ethereal and vulnerable and short lived like some flowers that can be names (overthought names when naming DD, though she isn't a Daisy in the end... :o )
