Non-flower girl names

Hello,

We are hoping to welcome a baby girl in the coming months. I am drawn to the flowery girls names (Rosie, Flora, Iris) but unfortunately our surname is a synonym for a plant and any of these style of names sounds like a character from a book rather than someone’s actual name.

I was hoping you might have some suggestions that perhaps have a similar feel without being flower or plant names?

Edited to add: Husband is very practical. His picks on names are all very much names that have been top 20 for at least 20 years.

I love Elsa too - I think the Disney connection is getting weaker by the day. The movie came out in 2013 after all.
