Help needed for classic but modern & pretty girls name

Would love some girls name ideas. Our current shortlist to give you a flavour of the types of names we like (although none of them seems quite right) includes

Matilda
Elise
Clara
Isabelle

I think our style is classic, modern but pretty. Ideally not something that's so popular (eg not Olivia!) but otherwise everything else is on the cards!

We're going for Isobel :)
Think it's a lovely name, and prefer the different spelling for it.
