Dahlia - botanical options

We love the name Dahlia for a girl, from the flower. But we aren't keen on the fact that Lia/Leah would be a huge possibility for a nn.

Are there any other names similar or along the same botanical lines that wouldn't have a 'common' nn?

That's actually both beautiful and usable.
