These were very much our criteria too (plus not too frilly and ideally international) - we went with Greta, so hope that qualifies!

Your choices are great OP - we had both Gaia and Vita on our shortlist and I also really like Lara and Fern.

Oh don’t use Hebe, everyone knows that as a bit of a boring shrub.

Others are nice though. I like Leah, or Cara, Lara, or Emma.

All nice except Vita OP. Not sure how you pronounce it and it looks like the name of pet food.

Also anti-Semitic slang in some places.

Hebe's great.
