Violette and other names that don't end in 'a'.

I quite like Violette for a girl. Is that spelling ok?

Looking for a girls name that doesn't end in 'a'. Quite like:

Irene (thinking 'European chic' rather than permed older lady)!
Imogen
Carine
Jennifer (a bit dull)?
Joan (I know it's an old lady name, but could be cool)?
Mathilde (not sure of spelling)
Evangeline
Adelaide/Adeline
Madeleine
Caroline
Jacqueline (although will this inevitably be Jackie)? I think this is a lovely name and maybe due a revival? Maybe not quite yet though.

Not keen on Juliet/Juliette, Mary or Marie.

I like Madeleine and Evangeline from your list.

My Mother is calles Violetta and she HATES it. She has always been known as a nickname.

From your list I'd pick Jennifer. Then again I'm a bit traditional when it comes to names. If I had a girl I'd call her Catherine, Jane, Elizabeth
