We are stuck, super stuck. I think we have been through so many names we can't see the wood for the trees.

We have a Lydia and Elliott. I like the three syllables but not essential.

Nothing top 20 or too popular, so no Olivia, Luna, Poppy, Florence etc. Nothing younique but slightly unpopular is fine as long as it is something that people know.

Nothing with a variety of spellings (our surname needs spelling to everyone, so don't want her to have to spell her entire name).

We like, but can't/won't/aren't using -
Zoe
Alison
Nicola
Talia
Abigail
Julia
Elena

Please help!!

Thinking of what Elliot and Lydia have in common - the 3 syllables and obvious “Lih” sound. So my first thought was Celia or Cecily or Selena? Obviously there’s Helena and Juliet but those are probably too close to Elena and Julia.
