Similar style names that don't end in "a"

So, even after my posts last week, I am still not 100% convinced that "the name" is on our list. I will give you all the names we have seriously considered - you will see they all end in A, and I think I got into a rut with that.
Can you help me think outside the box by listing names of a similar style that don't end in A?
The names also should not end in ree/ry sound because our last name ends that way, and it makes it sound almost rhyming.
Names we have seriously considered/are considering: Nora, Elsa, Victoria, Lila, Isla.

A few of your names are on our "highly considering" list. I also fall into the "end in a" rut. Most recently I have decided that I think I love the name Elena (still ends in A, but something for you to consider).
I also like:
Aurora
Paige
Laurel
Maeve
Iris
Hazel
Vivian
Violet
Veda
We definitely have a similar style. I love both of your sons' names, plus Vivian was on our list at one point, Hazel is sort of my guilty pleasure name, and Laurel would be on my list if it went with our last name. Thanks for the additional suggestions. Aurora is growing on me, for sure (although of course that ends in A, too!).

That's my name!
Glad to know I am picking something that won't sound totally weird against our own names.
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! Definitely a few here to consider.
