Can't find "the one" girls name

We found out that we're having a girl and we have a few name ideas but nothing feels like "the one".
Can anyone give me thoughts on the ones we do like or please add any others they think might be along the same lines?

We already have a boy called Stanley.

We like Penelope and Arabella but definitely won't use them as we don't like the shortenings of Penny or Bella. Same for Elsa, love it but I think it's TOO Disney.

We love Betsy and Otillie.

We also like Cleo, Ophelia and Celeste.

Any thoughts or anything too add that might be the elusive one?

Gosh, Violet isn’t a strong name to me. It’s the complete opposite. A small weed that’s trodden underfoot!
So much about names is about personal experience with them. Violet to me is a wise female with strength ! Not even considered the plant !

I like Cleo - it's my 'one' at the moment.
Ottilie...no, I don't understand the appeal. It's beyond frilly. As a pp said once on mn, it conjures an image of an old lady being carted around in a sedan chair!
