Which girl's name with my stupid surname?

Said stupid surname is 'Mack', and I know it's probably not a fantastic idea to post one's real surname on a message board, but the trouble is that so many female first names (especially two-syllable names ending in 'a') sound vaguely absurd with that surname - like something you'd use to waterproof your roof. With that in mind, this is our shortlist so far:

Elizabeth
Frances
Gretchen
Hannelore
Hester

I like the longer German and English names! Thing is, I'm not crazy about any of these names (although I guess if we gave DD the name, I'd come to love it). All opinions/other suggestions welcome.

funny, cos we new a family whose surname was Macsuchandsuch, and we always shortened it to Mack, so with that in mind....

Emily Mack sounds lovely. 3+ syllables definitely.

Aurelia, loved that name, but with our surname would be too many R's.
