Sister for Rosa Alice?

Hello!
So we are thinking about ttc soon and I'm already thinking about names for Rosas sibling. Boys are a bit easier as we have a few we agree on- stanley and Arthur are front runners right now.

But girls...I sort of used my favourites up in one go. I LOVE Alice and I should have saved it. I want something short and sweet like rosa or Alice, a bit unusual, and nothing ending in A or starting in M (due to nickname and not wanting two a endings)...I have thought of these-

Phoebe (oh doesn't like it)
Eleanor
Elsie (I think it goes, but is it too nickname-y?)
Katherine (I love this name, but it's so popular)

Do you have any excellent ideas please?x

I think Katherine is always classic and lovely.

Elsie is lovely but far more popular than Katherine at the moment.

I know siblings called Ava, Rosa & Ella. I know you don't want A endings but I think they sound lovely together.

I think Ettie is very sweet with Rosa, and is unusual too
