Really struggling with girls names - help!!

As the title says we are really struggling with girls names. We like classic girls names but none are standing out. We loved violet but with my accent it sounds like ‘vile - it’. Loved Juliet but DH cousins name so a no go. Anyone know anything similar? Surname ends in an -ee sounds so names like Emily / Ottilee are out. This is the short list:

Lauren
Lylah
Olivia ( bit overused ?)
Evelyn (is it also overused and have a niece called Evanne)

Argh why is it so hard! Hoping someone can come up with something we haven’t thought of!

Lauren - I like it, maybe slightly dated but it's a lovely name and she'd be unlikely to have another in her year at school
Lylah - I find all the Lyla, Layla, Leila names so full. Really dislike your spelling too sorry
Olivia - charts shoe it's popular but I only know one young Olivia (she's 6).
Evelyn - I know 2 so not overly popularly really. It's a nice classic. I do know quite a few Eva's / Evie's though

I have a Juliette. Other names on my list were:
Anna
Nina
Camille
Zoé
Célia
Rosanna
Gloria
Iris
Tina
Jane
Marianne
Marion
Judith
Julia
Nathalie
Rebecca
Mary

Or just go with Juliet, a cousin ain't that close.
