Names like Imogen?

We love Imogen for our DD but it's too matchy-matchy with our surname which is 3 syllables and starts with I.

So I'm looking for some other non-frilly girls names!

They have to be commonly known and easy to spell (I have a foreign name which I've found such a pain, so not willing to budge on this)

One that works in Scandinavia is preferred, though it doesn't have to be spelt/pronounced the same, just a name that doesn't make my Scandi relatives go "WUH?"

Siblings are Emma and Jacob.

Thanks all, got some good stuff here.

Really like Megan, but I'm worried about it's non Danishness. We won't be moving back there and she will have a Danish middle name so I suppose it doesn't really matter. I just can't shake off the feeling of it betraying my culture. Is this crazy?

I've always liked Freya but surname has "Eye" as first syllable sound so it gets a bit tongue twistery with the "yuh" sounds.

Other contenders

Lydia

Annabel

Tess
