This may be a tough one!

Hello ladies!

I am trying to pin down a girl's name but wanted to have some significance to it. My grandfather raised me and he always promoted positivity and was constantly telling me to "smile pretty". He genuinely believed in perspective and how it can MAKE your life different. I want to find a name that correlates with this idea. Whether it be about perspective, reality, or just happiness. I've looked into possible Greek Mythology symbolism or even translations of other cultures. I can't seem to find much. I know that there are some brilliant minds on here so I was hoping to get some help or feedback, thanks!

I looked for names that mean happiness or something close... 

 Felicity 

 Joy 

 Abigail means "my father is joyful" 

 Allegra 

 Beatrice "she who brings happiness" 

 Bliss 

 Blythe 

 Eda 

 Gwyneth 

 Naomi 

 Leta 

 Caroline "song of happiness" 

 Jolie "cheerful, pretty"

 ETA - Sorry for the wonky formatting, ipad is being dumb.

Thanks! Jolie kind of stood out to me, I'll look a bit more into that! I feel like I'm coming across plenty of options but nothing is screaming PERFECT just yet

Apparently not too tough for the ladies here! Great suggestions so far.

I just want I say that I really like Larissa. I don't think it would normally be my style, but it's standing out to me, and the meaning is perfect for you!
