Hi, we have a boys name picked out but not a girls.

We loved the name Emmeline so much, and she has such a great namesake that we are struggling to feel too enthusiastic about any.

Josephine (after Butler) a possibility but concerned about both children having -een endings
Also open to Rosalind, but don't like Roz as a nickname
Husband doesn't like Millicent or Constance
Lydia doesn't work with surname
Elizabeth feels too popular, as does Charlotte and Matilda
Rosa, Anna, and Harriet don't feel like they 'go' with Emmeline
We liked Persephone but felt it was a bit too out there

Looking for suggestions! Helpful if they are a female pioneer, book protagonist etc!

Emmeline and Anna, and Emmeline and Harriet work, I think.
Or:
Emmeline and Esther
Emmeline and Virginia
Emmeline and Sylvie
Emmeline and Madeleine
Emmeline and Veronica
Emmeline and Isabelle
Emmeline and Estelle
