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!

Dew
Ray
Sunray
Breeze
Luna
June
Dawn
Aurora
Vita (just because Life or Bios would be weird, don't like Eve/Eva )
Joy
If you care about 'internationality' of name then
Zora instead of Dawn (or maybe not because of R)
Nova as a star is good because it is very easy to pronounce and had 2 syllables consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel, no R, no L, no other 'hard' sounds is good.
Nobody seems to be able pronounce names of my children. And they are very easy, boring, traditional names where I am from.
Also boy/girl name varies across languages. My brother's rare but very male name, is extremely feminine name in a country where he moved as an adult.

Rosamund
Means “rose of the world”

It’s also traditional.
Lady Rosamund Clifford daughter of a Welsh marcher Lord Clifford was famed for her beauty and became Henry IIs mistress. She died of cancer quite young in Godstow Abbey near Oxford. But there are many legends about “Fair Rosamund”
