Girls name conundrum

Here's the issue:
We have a very boring, one syllable surname (think: 007),
BUT
Would like a traditional English girl's name...
The problem is the sort of names we like sound too boring and/or serious with our surname - e.g. Anna, Emma, Caroline, Susannah, Elizabeth, etc.
Any suggestions for a traditional girl's name that sounds pretty and interesting with our surname?

But also, remember that especially when she's a child, you can give her a cute, fun nickname or diminutive: Susie, Lizzy, Rosie etc.
