I also want to know when it's set! Alice, Emily and Charlotte sound v. late Victorian/ Edwardian to me, so I'd say names like Edith, Lucy, Maud, Harriet.

Katherine doesn't seem as if it'd be such a fashionable name from the same period? But maybe I'm wrong.

Brontë or Harriet (or maybe Hettie)

If set in Victorian times then something classic like Athena (sister of Florence Nightingale) or Diana
If set in modern times then something Shakespearean like Hero, Imogen or Viola.
