If I like Francesca and Olivia...

Looking for girls names, I love Francesca but can't get on board with any of the inevitable shortenings and I also think Olivia is beautiful but it's popularity has put me off it. Not looking to be convinced to use either of these names but for suggestions of names you think are similar in style / vibe.
Thanks!

I don't like it myself, but Georgia strikes me as being in the same style.

Sofia, Ana/Anna, Isabella, Elena, Mia all have the same kind of style to me as the names on your list.

I have a Francesca. But I always wanted a Frankie, so we compromised, she is called Francesca on her birth certificate, but we call her Frankie
