Recognisable but under used girls' names

Looking for a pretty girl's name for potential DD3.

I'd love a name that's recognisable, easy to spell and pronounce but not hugely used (wouldn't everyone?!). Examples that come to mind (but not names i would use) are Sienna, Imogen, Soleil, Cleo, Elise, Juliet, Elena, Valentina.

I love Penelope which seems popular on here but certainly wouldn't be where I live, but DH not having it!

Any ideas?

Classic and underused. I would call a girl that if I had one.

The only one I don't like from your list is soleil....it sounds like a brand of sun cream

We are in the same position. Our 1st daughter is called Louise - not met another child called this yet but no one seems to bat an eyelid or think it's odd she's 2. Everyone can pronounce and spell. Anything from the 60's to 80's period seems to be massively underused.

Our shortlist is:
Rachel
Gemma
Elaine

Names we considered but can't use or 1 of us disliked are:
Jane
Helen
Sarah
Anna
Hannah
Heather
Leanne
Lindsay
Rebecca
Anne
Mary
