Ethereal or nature-inspired names for a girl

DH and I have some boys names shortlisted, but we can't agree on the girls list. Everything I suggest is too off-the-wall for him. He wants something that sounds more traditional but not in the top 10. So far he'll accept:

Clementine
Florence/Flora
Olivia

I also love Juniper, Morgana and Eden but he's vetoed them all as being too 'out there'.

Any ideas welcome!

Iris, Hazel, Zephyr, Wren, Calluna, Heather, Lily, Sylvia, Willow, Selena, Cordelia, Pearl, Seren. I once knew a pair of sisters called Rowan and Larch which are both gorgeous names.

Aware Olivia is not only top 10 but number one in 2019, but he didn't seem to mind when I pointed that out!
