Don't think it meets your criteria but I am loving Ondine and Hera at the moment.

I love Delphine too. My DD has a shortened Belgian version of this. Others I know of:

• Elena
• Agnès ('pure', 'holy')
• Hermione ('messenger', 'earthly' ... a bit naf maybe due to Harry Potter?)
• Phoebe ('bright', 'radiant')
• Sofia (Zsofia, 'wisdom')
• Eleonore ('sun ray', 'shining light')
• Chloé (Khloe, 'blooming')
• Cassandra (man's defender, warrior)
