Enola
English literary name and place name, Cherokee

Has a pure, clean aura, but is also evocative.
Novalee
Compound name, Nova + Lee, Latin and English

Latin, feminine form of Calvin
There are several better Cal- names that don't simply echo a male form.
Corvina

Corvina sounds quite similar to a car model, although it has a gorgeous meaning and could be an interesting dramatic full name for the nickname Cora.
