I was just thinking about this actually! I love loads of the ones you listed:
Alona
Atara
Dafna
Dalia - I love how this name works in so many languages. It is beautiful too
Eliora
Hadassah - maybe my favourite Hebrew name. It's rich emerald green
Ilana
Inbar
Irit - really pretty and I love asphodel. but too close to "irritate"?
Kelila - so calmly pretty
Liora - and also Lior, which I like ever better. One of a few names that I love for any gender
Noa - I think this is the #1 name in Israel, or was recently
Nurit - adorable
Rivka - I also like Rifqa a lot, I think it is an Arabic version
Sapir
Shachar
Shira
Talia
Tamar
Varda - this and Vered are so red and lush
Vered
Ziva
and quite a few others as well:
Adara
Adina
Ahava
Aliza
Aviva - so cheerful
Ayelet
Dalit
Galit
Geula - looks quite unappealing at first but it is really growing on me. And what a beautiful meaning
Hadar - I love using this as a middle name
Hila
Keren
Keshet - cheesy but I like the idea of Iris Keshet, it's so colourful!
