Please, need ideas for list!

Girl Names
1

I have a fairly solid working list of names I’m considering, but none really jump out at me and seem like “the one”. I would love and very much appreciate it if you berries would help me with this!

Requirements; -three syllables
-cannot end in “a”
-ties to history or literature or mythology

Overall, I am going for a name that is feminine/pretty, uncommon, and has roots!

[name]Eulalie[/name]
[name]Guinevere[/name]
[name]Nephele[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name]
[name]Melusine[/name]
[name]Romilly[/name]
[name]Artemis[/name]

Two names that I like that don’t fit the above requirements; [name]Livana[/name] (can’t find any hist/lit/myth references) and [name]Galila[/name] (ends in a).

I would love help, as I feel absolutely stuck!

I’VE DECIDED THAT MOST OF THESE NAMES ARE TOO OUT THERE, AND AM NOW SEARCHING FOR GIRL NAMES SIMILAR TO GWENDOLEN! Thank you for your help!
