Need A or M name ideas, please

I'm looking to find girls' names that begin with A or M after my ancestors. I've always loved my name - Danielle - and I am looking for something that is similarly unique but well known enough that it's not constantly mispronounced or misspelled. I also like that my full name is very feminine, but I had a cute nn when I was a kid - Dani. Basically, I just want to do as well by my daughter as my parents did by me!

I used to love the names Ava and Maya, and I still do. The problem is that they're becoming too popular. I also would like something with a bit more length and elegance. Some other ideas I'm toying with are:

Maude
Maricella
Monique
Mae

Azalea
Aurora
Alliyah
Amelia

...but I'm just not crazy about any one of them. What do you think? Any new suggestions?

I really like Aurora and Amelia from your list!

A couple of others you might consider: (I tried to list feminine names w/ their possible nn's)

*Aurelia is very pretty and I like the nn Auri or Rae
*Arabella--Ari or Bella
Adriana
Ariana--Ari
Acacia--Ace or Asa ( I really like Asa, it has the same spunk as Ava but without the popularity)
Aveline nn Ava
Alexandra/Alexandria

*Mirabelle/Mirabella nn Mira
*Miranda (could also use Mira)
Magdalena--this one is okay, could use nn Maggie
*Melina

Ava and Maya are becoming rather popular yes... ^^
I'll give you my list of unusual A and M names. I collect them, and so most of the names on my list is not in the top 1000... They may not be for you, but they might give you and idea... I'm not sure how much else I can do to help you... I really like Alexandria and Magdalena suggested by Lonniecate :) Abigail is also a good one, although she's not on my list ^^
