Feminine sounding names without -ie ending

I love feminine/romantic sounding names without the -ie ending (too cutesy for me).

We like Esme and Thea at the moment. Any suggestions?

I dislike both the 'ee' and "aa" ending sounds for girls names. Reading down a class register it's just these ending sounds over and over!

How about:

Celine (or Selene)
Rose
Annabelle
Laurel
Jasmine
