timeless girls name

I don't know if I'm having a boy or girl yet. Boys name will be Alex. I have 2 girls called lily and Eve and cannot find the 'right' girls name. It's driving me crazy!

Names I've considered

Emilia
Amelia
Amelie
Eleanor (sisters name)
Ella
Robyn

Thing is none of them feel right! The Emilia names feel too 'pretty' but not special enough and Eleanor has the nn Ellie which is confusing with Lily. My other favourite name is Hazel but it's Eves middle name and I don't want to reuse it!

I really want a timeless, classic, beautiful name (possibly short without many nn potentials) that doesn't have a masculine short version (so not Alexandra for example). It needs to go with my other names without being too similar. Grace seems ideal but I'm not keen! Ideas?

If the boys name will be Alex, do the same for a girl.

Alexander for a boy, Alexandra for a girl.

Anya.
Derived from Hannah and means 'bringing goodness' In other languages also links back to mother.

A lovely name that fits with DDs 1 and 2 and would bring life and yet closure to your DM's situation.

I think it's beautiful and fits so well with the circle of life.

228, there's nothing timeless about Dawn or Faye. They've both been out of fashion for 20/30 years, at least!!
