Girl names similar to Hannah or Anna..?

We are expecting a baby girl and I'm struggling to think of names!
I like the simplicity of Hannah and Anna but would prefer to avoid these exact names due to family and friends already having these names.

Other names I like but wouldn't/couldn't use include Freya, Hazel and Alice.

Any suggestions for names of similar style/vibe that I might not have thought of yet?

Amelia
Sophia
Catherine
Rose
Elizabeth
Jane
Rebecca
Frances

i like these names because, like Hannah and Anna, they’re pleasant but not too trendy - classics that are easy to pronounce and spell and will take the owner from rock band to boardroom without sounding out of place - the sort of name that doesn’t become the most interesting thing about a person

Dana
Anita
Lana
Lala - I was thinking Ward - the actress but then I thought 'Teletubby'
Chana - Hanna but with closer to the Hebrew pronunciation
Tana
Tara
I used to know a German woman called Svenja, I know it's a bit 'out there' with no German connections.

This reminds me of the Name Game from American Horror Story!

See if you can come up with some cute names using this movie/song, OP!

If the video won't work, just look up the Name Game American Horror Story on YouTube! It's funny and cute and might be helpful!
