Hmmm..thinking of name for baby girl

I'm trying to think of some names for baby girls while still trying to keep her heritage some way. Any suggestions?

I thought of Gabriella, but after that, I'm drawing a blank!

Thanks for your suggestions.

I love the name Estella. (or Estrella, though I like it better without the 'r').

This was almost our baby's name, but we chose Zoe (not latin at all).
