Name for my girl

Hello! I didn’t think it would be this hard but I can’t decide on a name for my little girl.
Ideally, I want it to be a name that can be pronounced in many countries, especially in Europe and the Americas where many of my relatives live. I am Dutch/Chilean with Jewish roots and it would be lovely to have some connection to that but it’s not a must. I have a little son named Oscar :-). A name to came to me so easily!

My list so far:
Alba
Zora (but apparently zorra is slang for slut in Spanish :-()
Kaia or Caia
Romy or Romi
Rena or Reina (means queen in Spanish so not sure)
Lucy (my grandma is named Luz)
Raisa or Reisa
Alice
Zara - but association with the clothing store might be an issue?

As a middle name I like May (month where many important women in our families where born) June or Jo (after a good friend)

Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

My list so far: Alba - I think of Jane's abuella in Jane the vrigin Zora - very pretty, was on my long list Kaia or Caia - love! Was a top one but unfortunately we have a niece with that name, so vetoed it. We were going to use the spelling Kaiya, so that's an option too. Romy or Romi - Don't love Rena or Reina - I like. Also love Raina. Lucy - It's ok Raisa or Reisa - Not a fan Alice - Not a fan Zara - Pretty but quite common
Whoops I copy and pasted your original post, this isn't my list too lol
