Lara but not...and not Clara

I adore the gentle elegant sound of Lara it's currently in the Top 100 for girls names and increasing in usage as are quite a few 2 syllable girl names starting L. I had a look and there's Lyla, Lola, Lily, Lucy, Lara, Lilly etc. I can't use Clara.

Lara is gorgeous, can you think of other elegant 2 syllable names for girls? Preferably not beginning with L or El.

But just go for Lara and don't worry about the top 100! Who cares?!
