Really struggling with a girl name

in Baby Names
Found out we are going to be having a baby girl and I am thrilled! But we had a shortlist of boy names and are stumped by girl names.
One day, if we are blessed with a son, he will be Joel or Josiah (to give you a sense of our style)
We "like" but don't "love"
Elizabeth
Amelia
Ellie (love but soooo popular!)
Esme
Her middle name will be Lynn and that is non-negotiable. Last name Garza.
We live on a few acres and have farm animals. We are professional dog trainers. So I imagine she will be somewhat tomboyish, at least outdoorsy and active. Very open to suggestions but trying to avoid her name being overly popular as I am An early 90s Ashley and there were 3-4 other Ashley's in my class in almost every grade.

Your boy names have a different feel to me than your girl names. Your boy names are biblical, while girl names are more classic, old-time. I tried to give names with both feels.
We have some common names we like, so here is my "short" list:
Isla, Inez, Carys, Maude, Delia, Rosalyn, Blythe, Alice, Reese, Harper, Emmeline, Maxine, June, Maeve, Annaliese, Tabitha, Elliana, Bryn, Brooke, Heidi, Holly, Felicity, Julianne, Vera, Adelaide, Grace, Mary, Hope, Elyse, Noelle, Violet, Vivienne, Clara, Cora, Verity, Elise, Opal, Alison, Elizabeth, Sybil, Margaret
Brooke
Bethany
Cecilia
Talia
Sloane
Fiona
Penelope

Ruby
Veronica
Iris
Rosalie
Maeve
Briar

Este would not be good.
I think it could fit b/c she was like a girly tomboy, grew up running around in creeks with dogs and getting muddy everyday, but was also very poised and loved playing with makeup and hair.
It's totally an old name, but will always be pretty to me.
Edited...original was too wordy.
