It’s a girl!

DC2 was born early this morning and it’s a girl, but we only had a boys name picked out. DD1 name came to us so quickly and easily and was chosen at 10 weeks but we have no names. DD 1 is called Callie. Here are some girls names on our list but none of them are jumping out at us:
Gemma
Tia
Briar
Hazel
Tara
Nina

We live in a small village so don’t want her to have the same name as anyone close in age to her. Please rate the names above and suggest more names.

Thank you for the suggestions, there still isn’t a name coming to us so hears a description of her to see if that helps:
•Lots of hair (and I mean lots) which seems to be curly and red
•Very big baby but tiny little facial features
