Help with Girl Name to fit with Brothers

I have two boys Noah and Jacob.
You've probably seen my posts as I'm struggling with girls names.
I liked Matilda when pregnant with the boys but a friend used it and I don't like the shortenings so ruled it out as unusable.
I prefer names that can't be shortened.
I don't want anything too obscure.
Surname is 4 letters beginning with B.
Biblical names - lots of negative association with names which rules out Sarah, Ruth, Esther, Hannah, Chloe, Bethany etc. The rest are either too long, have terrible meanings or just not my cup of tea.
I love all things summer, beach, seaside and would like to use that to inspire name choice, and have links to Greece and Spain.

So based on that really tight criteria, please help me find a name as it's been impossible!

@MayFly2653 Love Eden, my only slight reservation is how unisex it is. But I do really like it.
You hear Grace everywhere. I don't know any other Noah's and only one Jacob despite their popularity.

I have an Eden, I have had so many compliments on the name and everyone has assumed girl upon hearing her name.

Hallie

@Theoldwoman Thank you, but none of those really appeal to me.

@HuntingoftheSnark I do like Hallie. My parents liked a name for a boy which I used as Jacobs middle name, whilst they didn't pick Hallie the origin of name and the meaning of the name are both virtually the same.

I read your criteria and thought Raine, then saw you had a Noah so that's a no no!

Hazel, Summer, Eliza?

@Stayeduptoolateagain Love Alba doesn't go with surname at all sadly. I just can't make it work.

Sorry, I’m a bit confused… why does it have to fit with her brothers names? Why not just pick a name you like or wait until she is born and think… she looks like a Linda or such?

Are you really confused? Is it your first day on the internet? Loads of people want names that are the same ‘vibe’ for their children. Siblings called Tallulah-Storm and Sarah sounds odd to lots of people.
