Can't find "the one" girls name

We found out that we're having a girl and we have a few name ideas but nothing feels like "the one".
Can anyone give me thoughts on the ones we do like or please add any others they think might be along the same lines?

We already have a boy called Stanley.

We like Penelope and Arabella but definitely won't use them as we don't like the shortenings of Penny or Bella. Same for Elsa, love it but I think it's TOO Disney.

We love Betsy and Otillie.

We also like Cleo, Ophelia and Celeste.

Any thoughts or anything too add that might be the elusive one?

I couldn't find 'the one' either - and actually, at 6 months old, I'm not completely sure I actually like my DD's name! I'm hoping she'll grow into it. I do like some of your names though, particularly Cleo. Some others we had on our list were

Alicia
Abigail
Alexandra
Antonia
Hannah
Marlena
Tallulah

Love all the names you've mentioned.
I think you change your mind a lot throughout pregnancy so I'd wait as you will know when the right one has come along you just will
