Female names with long ah sound -?

Giraffealaff

I am looking for names with the long ah sound at the ending similar to Phaedra (Fay-dra) and Aoife (A-fa). I do not like names like Emma or Eva/Ava. I do prefer names that are rooted in greek/irish/nordic origins. I prefer names you would not see on an everyday basis.

My daughter is Annika (AHN-ick-ah). I've only met one other little girl in real life with that name, and she is about 7. Some of the others we're thinking, since we seem to have similar taste:

Linnea

Elsa

Karina/Marina

Helena

Katarina

Lilja

Milena

I never realized how many I had on my list!

I love Indira.  I wish my husband would go for it, but - while he likes it - he says it's too Ghandi.  I say "What's wrong with that??"  Haha.

I have had a hard time getting H on board with most of my name choices. I tend to like names that are... a bit more unique. He likes simple names. So far, the only female names we have both liked have been Cecily and Avery, but I am trying to explore names away from the "y" ending for now.

I really like your DD's name. It rolls very nicely off the tongue. As far as you list, I love Linnea and Lilja - although I know H would never go for the latter.

Haha I know what you mean! Some of these are pipe dreams for me, but so far DH's favorites are Linnea and Elsa.
