Help! Girls names!

I currently have a boy & 2 girls and I've just found out I'm having another girl!

I've had my boys name including middle names set for 5 years but have always struggled with girls names...

I like classic (aka fairly boring names - think top 20-50) names that can be shortened.

My other 2 girls are Annabel & Charlotte. My son has a popular, classic name.

I do like Alice but don't want the name to begin with the same letter as one of her sisters...

The 2 names that I would consider at the moment are:

Beatrice/Beatrix nn. Bea
Emiliana (I can't have Emilia/Amelia) nn. Emmy

I like Jemima and Alice too but won't use them...

I know Emiliana is seen as frilly and a bit pretentious but is it really that bad?

Any other suggestions?? I don't like Catherine, Francesca, Elizabeth...which all would fit but just not that keen.

Love Beatrice! Also really like Emmy and would use Emily over the other versions.

Edie?

I think Beatrix or Emmeline. I like how all three of your girls would then have names without -a, -ie, -y, -ia endings. Like my girls (not sure if anyone else cares about this though!) Emiliana sounds a bit odd, sorry. Do like Emilia but emmeline more unusual and meets the above criteria!

Clementine? Not top 100 but a fair few around so there isn't anyone's who hasn't heard it? Nn could be Clemmy or at a push Emmy.
Ember could also be shortened to Emma.
What about?
Georgina
Katherine (nn Kitty or Kat)
Eve
Erin
