Redhead Freckle-Faced Chubby Girl Name

My husband and I are both redheaded (he's strawberry, I'm auburn), freckled and struggle with weight. If we have a daughter, it is likely she will be similar, although we hope to help her maintain a healthy weight. What names sound good on this type of girl/woman? I'm looking for something feminine, but not frumpy. I like Lily and Chloe. I'm also looking for a contemporary version of Amy or Jenny. My husband likes Molly, but I find that too frumpy for a possibly chubby girl. Our last name is of English origin and ends in a Y. I like names with g,j,p,q, and y in them as they balance out the Y in our last name. I also like names that look good on paper (no funky spellings. I'm resume conscious.) Any ideas?

Thanks!

Funny, because Lily and Chloe were two that immediately came to mind. The one thing to think about with Lily would be its extreme popularity lately. On top of that, I would use Liliana nn Lily, as Lily seems very nicknamey. Similar options are Lila and Leila.

Other options:

Lucille/Luciana/Lucy

Isla "eye-luh"

Maeve

Ashlyn

Amelia (similar to Amy, could use nn Amy, Mia, Lia, etc.)

Sophie

Clara/Claire

Elizabeth nn Libby

Elise

Angelina nn Lena

HTH, let me know your thoughts.

I forgot to add Susanna. I know a red-head, freckled, adult Susanna - and it fits her perfectly.
