So often though the stories and names don't coincide. Idril is (to my mind) quite the most admirable, interesting and characterful herione in Tolkien but the name unless pronounced "correctly" sounds a bit too much like a medication.
I suppose the best for character and sound is Melian which has the advantage of being relatively similar to "normal" girls names and has the meaning "dear gift" - which is about the nicest thing you could call a child.
Other possibles might be Vana and Este
