Ethereal or nature-inspired names for a girl

DH and I have some boys names shortlisted, but we can't agree on the girls list. Everything I suggest is too off-the-wall for him. He wants something that sounds more traditional but not in the top 10. So far he'll accept:

Clementine
Florence/Flora
Olivia

I also love Juniper, Morgana and Eden but he's vetoed them all as being too 'out there'.

Any ideas welcome!

Aware Olivia is not only top 10 but number one in 2019, but he didn't seem to mind when I pointed that out!

I LOVE Morgana! Even as a child, I thought this is what I’d name my daughter (I didn’t in the end). I’d be so excited to meet a baby Morgana. I did once meet a Morgana in the lavatories at bar in London. She was beautiful and cool. Her brother was called Arthur!
