Charlaine
What do you think of Charlaine (prn. shar-LANE)? I discovered it when I started working at the library several years ago (Charlaine Harris writes a number of mysteries), and it's been growing on me lately.
I wouldn't call her by a nickname, mind, because I can't stand Lainey or Charli.

I want to be be more like a river--
Less like a wall--
Not trying to hold back these feelings at all.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

I feel the same as you do about this name; it didn't do much for me the first time I saw it, but it's definitely grown on me. Probably helps that I already liked Charmaine, too. :o)
You could use a nn...just call her Arla! I know it's rather counter-intuitive, but the spelling's there, and you have a great vintage name to use, then. There's also Arlaine, but then, you may as well just stick w/Charlaine. :o)

I think it is great. I like it!
