Help with Girl Name to fit with Brothers

I have two boys Noah and Jacob.
You've probably seen my posts as I'm struggling with girls names.
I liked Matilda when pregnant with the boys but a friend used it and I don't like the shortenings so ruled it out as unusable.
I prefer names that can't be shortened.
I don't want anything too obscure.
Surname is 4 letters beginning with B.
Biblical names - lots of negative association with names which rules out Sarah, Ruth, Esther, Hannah, Chloe, Bethany etc. The rest are either too long, have terrible meanings or just not my cup of tea.
I love all things summer, beach, seaside and would like to use that to inspire name choice, and have links to Greece and Spain.

So based on that really tight criteria, please help me find a name as it's been impossible!

@MayFly2653 Love Eden, my only slight reservation is how unisex it is. But I do really like it.
You hear Grace everywhere. I don't know any other Noah's and only one Jacob despite their popularity.

@MamaBanana12 Im not keen on the sound of Lydia and Phoebe is tricky to spell with the o and e, and it's just not what I'm looking for.
