Baby name needed: Girl name for Emmett’s sister

A reader named Teresa wrote:

We are having a hard time choosing a name for our baby girl. She will have a big brother named Emmett Quinn. Our last names starts with K and ends with -ER. We like names that are different, but not weird. We also tend toward 2-syllable names.

Here are a few ideas:

Alice
Audra
Beatrix
Corinne
Daisy
Daphne
Della
Gemma
Georgia
Greta
Hazel
Helen
Iris
Lila
Lucia
Martha
Mona
Myra
Nella
Olive
Petra
Polly
Rhea
Roma
Ruby
Shirley
Stella
Sylvie
Tilda
Willa

The name Emmett was most popular around the turn of the (last) century, so I found many of these by scanning the Social Security Administration’s lists of popular baby names from random years in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Do you like any of the above with Emmett? What other names would you suggest to Teresa?
