Have you considered Lumi? — a Scandinavian name. I think it’s so cute and maybe a bit trending on Nameberry forums, in the same way that Thomasin is popular on Nameberry forums, but I wouldn’t exactly call that on trend. Also, I love Kinga, which I think has Germanic/slavic origins. We considered using Hilde with the kindof nicknamey pronunciation of Hildie, but couldn’t settle on a long form for it, but I think it could stand on its own. Another Germanic name that I have loved since I was a kid (from Sound of Music of course) is Liesel, I was always kindof surprised that one has never become on-trend. One more - I lived with a German girl in Paris named Anke, pronounced onk-uh. She told me the name was kindof a granny/vintage name in Germany. I thought it was a cool name.
