What would you name these character based off physical descriptions?

There are four girls, they all need names. Well. Except the second girl; she's named Lily but I really need a middle name for her. And before you say it, I know she sounds like Lily Evans from Harry Potter, I just like red hair and green eyes together.

I love unique names, and classic sounding names. I want full names; preferably first middle and last. But the last name is optional, I just get stuck when it comes to last names.

I have tried I think three times to rename these characters and have yet to get it right. But on to the character descriptions:

Girl One (Protagonist)

--long, luxurious, glossy brown hair

--voluminous, kinda wavy kinda curly (think Kim Kardashian)

--aquamarine eyes

--around the iris is a beautiful green color, ringed by a bright turquoise the edge of her eye is ringed in a thing circle of dark gray

Girl Two (Lily)

--long wavy red hair

--voluminous, natural waves

--choppy side swept bangs

--vibrant green eyes

--bright emerald green (not forest, not sea glass, not sea green)

Girl 3

--think 1940s movie star hair

--brilliant brunette

--mostly straight but wavy towards the bottom where it curls a little

--classic eyes

--starting at the iris they're a bright blue ring with a thin ring of bright green and then another ring of blue

Girl 4

--long straight cut bangs

--her hair is feathered and layered around her face

--her hair color is various shades of blonde

--she has steel gray eyes, ringed on their edges by a thing ring of black

Originally going down the list in order they were named Zandra, Lily, Allie and Alaya. Then I changed it and then changed it again to Wren, Lily, Vivica, and Aryn. But I hate those names too. I love the name Lily and its the only one not changing...though it might if I can't find a middle name to go with it.

Thanks for any help! Offer as many names as you like!

Update:

I appreciate the correction of based off and based on.

I'm also starting to see some really cute names, thanks already!

Update 2:

@Cass: your blog is wonderful! What a great idea, I collect names like no tomorrow but I love this idea.
