I need help thinking of a name?

I want to name my daughter after my aunt Roxanne but I don't like the sound of that name. So I did some digging and found out that her name means Bright, Star, and/or Dawn. But I don't want to name her either of those either. Its really frustrating. What I have come up with so far is Seren (pronounced Sir-en) which means star in Welsh. Help please! Something that is similar to Roxanne, or means one of those three things.... any suggestions help!

Update:

Also, she likes daffodils...they were her all time favorite flower, so maybe you can work with that, too!

Update 2:

Yeah I dunno why I said that was how its pronounced. Because I know it is pronounced Seh-ren and that is how I have been saying it out loud. But I've thought of a name. Serennia. (: Thanks everyone.

    Aurora also means dawn and I think is a pretty name. You could also just use Anne as a first name. Anne Narcissa (which means daffodil) would be a pretty name.

    You could always use Roxanne as a middle name and pick a first name that you like. I've always liked the combo Zoe Roxanne.

    Or you could go with your Aunt's middle name.

    Seren (star) is NOT pronounced Si-ren.... it's more like Seh-ren.

    Dawn in Welsh is Gwawr ( Gwah-oor)... it's also used as a girl's name.

    Hâf ( halve)...is a lovely girl's name...it means 'summer'.
