Claire, or other spellings, is so widely used in the 40s age group. Where I work, there is a comically large number of them.

Claire or Clare. Lovey name and due a revival.

Hebe's great.

@CurlyhairedAssassin

Oh don’t use Hebe, everyone knows that as a bit of a boring shrub.

Others are nice though. I like Leah, or Cara, Lara, or Emma.

Also anti-Semitic slang in some places.

All nice except Vita OP. Not sure how you pronounce it and it looks like the name of pet food.

From reading the title I was going to suggest Lara!
Some others that spring to mind are Vaya, Leia, Cara, Lena, Sara, Elise.
