[Opinions] I need a name for German class....

I need to come up with a name for German class, so, it needs to be German, of course.

I am in Eighth grade, shy, quiet, obsessed with history, the Seventies, sci-fi and fantasy, very musical(band is my life.), and I love the German language.

I was thinking about either Elisabeth or Liesl but if those are taken, I would like some backups. If anyone knows of some other German names, that would be very helpful. Danke!

Personally, I love Renata.
We didn't get to pick German names for our German lessons! I'm jealous :)
