Girl names similar to Hannah or Anna..?

We are expecting a baby girl and I'm struggling to think of names!
I like the simplicity of Hannah and Anna but would prefer to avoid these exact names due to family and friends already having these names.

Other names I like but wouldn't/couldn't use include Freya, Hazel and Alice.

Any suggestions for names of similar style/vibe that I might not have thought of yet?

I love Sarah. Bring it back! So pretty

Hannah is spelled Hanna or Hana in some countries, and Anna can be Ana in case a change of spelling would make it less similar. I see these spellings more these days as international spellings become more common- similar to Sofia/Sophia.

Would a name like Susanna, Johanna or Rosanna work for you?

Or Annabel?

Sarah is another lovely name that seems similar in style to Hannah

Ava and Ada are both palindromes too, like Hannah and Anna.
