Girls name help with difficult last name

I am having a hard time coming up with girls names that sound good with our last name: Lilla (pronounced lil-lah).

We love the name Elizabeth, and will probably use it as a middle name since we cannot bear the thought of her being called "Lizzie Lilla" as a nickname.

I don't think the first name should have an "L" in it since it would be too much with the last name. It would be great to have a first name with three or more syllables.

Can't decide if I like how first names ending with the letter "a" sound against our last name, although so many of those names are beautiful like Alexandra and Sophia. We like the name Stephanie, and both my Mother and MIL are named "Mary Ann".

Interested in your feedback....thanks!

I think Sophie or Charlotte. They are great names, the best of the suggestions and they go well with your last name.

How about Shannon? hee hee But anyway, my last name is Bussone (buss, long o, n, long e)

so I wanted a name that didn't and with a vowel, it just sounded to "flighty" to me.
