Nadia.
Andrea Nadia Rycroftt.
Nadia is a Russian name, but it is also a French name and seeing as she is both, it fits. The middle name flows nicely with the first and last but of course that is based on how you pronounce it. I do it NAH-dee-ah, but I know others do it differently. For the record, the other pronunciation doesn't flow well.

With the mixture of Greek and Russian, I immediately thought of Anastasia (or Anastasie given she's more French than Russian). I don't think that'd go well with Andrea, however!
What I do when I'm stumped on names is I picture the parents of the girl, or if they're not available, whoever would have named her. Do they take pride in their culture? Are they honoring anyone? Which part of their culture means the most to them? Does the mother prefer trendy or classic names? Does the father want to name her after a beloved aunt? These are all great ways to add depth and make naming your characters easier!
Advice aside, here are some combos for you!
Andrea Cerise
Andrea Camille
Andrea Evelyn
Andrea Charlotte
Andrea Margot / Margaux
Andrea Victoire
Andrea Chloe
Andrea Charline
Andrea Zoe
Andrea Nicole / Nicolette / Nikoleta
Andrea Penelope
Andrea Rose
Andrea Josephine
Andrea Celeste
Andrea Claire
