I want a beautiful girl's name. There are some I love but hate the obvious shortenings so have ruled them out. There are some friends/family have used so I wouldn't.

Examples are: Isabella, Juliette, Elena, Chloe, Rosa, Sophia, Olivia, Amelia.

I also like Leia but too Star Wars, Layla/Leila/Lola but they're a bit "of the moment" and maybe not substantial enough, Eva but there are so many Ava/Evies and maybe Lara, Rebecca and Rachel.

Can you suggest anything else along those lines? I've been through the baby name lists loads of times and can't imagine there's one I haven't considered but maybe seeing it on its own or with just a few others might help!
