Girl names?

Hello! My husband and I are expecting a baby girl. I am part Armenian and would love to have some of our family identity passed down, since her middle and last name will not be. What are your thoughts on easy to pronounce Armenian girl names for Americans?

My nieces are Anoush and Ani. Pretty popular. My great grandmother was Ripsime, we called her Seema. My aunt is Susananna but in Armenian it's Shushan which I think is very cute. My great great grandmas were named Sofia and Salbi/Salpi. Excited to see what name you choose! :)
