3-syllable girls names

This is harder than I thought. We need 2 girls names, both 3-syllable. Here are the rules:

1. Nothing ending in A as it doesn't work with our last name.

2. Nothing beginning with the letter A. We have 5 cousins, including a whole sibling set, with A names.

3. Nothing ending with "en" "in" "an" as our last name is similar to Johnson and DH hates the double sound like in Kristen Johnson or Aiden Johnson.

4. Nothing in the top 100.

5. We prefer something Anglo-sounding to go with last name. So even though there are beautiful names such as Gabrielle, we want to stick with names of English, Scottish, Welsh origin.

6. We like both feminine names and strong unisex names. Surnames are also good.

Thanks for any ideas.
