Help my friend make up her mind!

My friend's baby girl is a couple of weeks old and she and her husband can't decide on a name! They had a very small shortlist before she was born, but they've now gone off those names and the DH is a bit old-fashioned with what he likes. Nothing too "modern" and nothing too frilly and flowery are the criteria. Names that have been considered but rejected so far are:

Annabel
Charlotte
Rosemary
Rosalind
Amelia (and all variations thereof)
Alexandra
Miranda
Jessica

They have a monosyllabic surname and have decided that they want something longer for the first name. Any suggestions?

Josephine might fit the bill, it's lovely, traditional, not too flowery but long, and has several good short forms (Josie, Jo, Jojo, Posy, Tansy)
