Can you suggest a girl's name please?

We don't know what we're having, we suspect a boy but until baby's born it's a surprise!!!
Both DH and I love Barnaby.
Also Sebastian

I like Ace too but that got veto'd Grin

We both dislike "floral" names for girls or overtly "girly"
We would like for our daughter to be able to have an "easy" abbreviation for her name. I love unisex names. Jaimie is nice but not quite right. (Short surname)

Also, first name can't begin with an H or she'll sound like a superhero's alter ego!!!

So... any ideas?!!

Stella, Ramona, Ursula, Ingrid, Astrid.
None girly, all unusual.

I have a Barnaby. If he had been a girl he would have been either Agnes (nn Aggie), Edith (nn Edie), or Harriet.

I love Talitha as an alternative to Tabitha. Talitha is Biblical and means little girl.

Also Rosaline for something unusual but classic.
