Baby Girl, Sister to Griffin Michael

We are expecting our second child in January (the 25th). My name is Erinn, my husband is Mike and our son is 3 and his name is Griffin Michael. Our last name sounds like "March" but starts with a "b". This time around we are having a girl and for some reason we are really having trouble coming up with a name.
I would like a name that is similar to Griffin...somewhat unusual but not bonkers, easy to pronounce and no creative spelling. I have suggested Hadley and Berit, which my husband has rejected, and he has suggested Samantha, which I don't mind but I don't love. We both think Hailey is OK but not great. I don't want an extremely popular name (which sort of eliminates Hailey and Samantha), but I don't want an invented name either. As for middle names, I was thinking of using Dayle, which is my middle name. That is not a requirement however, it would just depend on how it goes with the first name!
I realize this is a problem of too many possibilities, but I just feel like our baby's name is out there somewhere, we just haven't considered it yet. We need help!! My son has suggested Billy Chomper and that just doesn't seem like a viable option.

Well, are you SURE? If we spelled it Billie Chomperr it would look more feminine. Here are some other suggestions:

Amabel
Bethan
Bridget
Bronwyn
Carys
Catriona
Elodie
Harper
Fiona
Imogen
Isla
Juniper
Karenna
Larkin
Laurel
Madigan
Merrin
Mirren
Olive
Penelope
Teagan
Tinsley
Waverly

Well, I'm excited to see all the excellent suggestions...but Griffin's little sister was born last Tuesday (three weeks early)! Once the pressure was on, we came up with Piper Dayle. Thanks so much for all your help!
