Girls names ending in a vowel (-la, -na, etc.)

Hi all, we're looking for a girls name that ends in a vowel, but doesn't have an 'r' the end (e.g. flora, lauri etc) as it won't go with our surname that begins with R.

I like Nina and Penelope (nn Penny) but looking for other ideas too.

We're trying to avoid cutesy (imo) names like Polly and Daisy, and hoping for a traditional sounding but not overly used name as far as possible, rather than modern or super common ones.

Not an easy brief, but I trust the excellent brainpower of MNers to come through with lots of inspiration!

Thanks in advance

We've just called our new arrival Emma. Nina was our other contender!

Why are people suggesting all these names that don’t end with a vowel sound?

OPs post specifies ending in a vowel, not a vowel sound.
