Dorabella? Makes me think of door bell.

The only one I like is Kenna and I'd only use it as a nickname for MaKenna.

Most of them look like combinations or misspellings of other names.

Brigitta - a real name, but I don't like it.
Charleston - a city, and very masculine.
Dorabella - Dora + Bella.
Elizabetty - Eliza + Betty.
Ellanor - Ella + Eleanor.
Falabella - something + Bella.
Hollis - this is a boy's name.
Kenna - Ken + Jenna.
Lilybet - Lily + Betty.
Lisbon - this is a city, not a name.
Mally - Molly + Allie.
Miette - Mia + Annette.
Minette - This was one of the characters in the Nancy Drew games! Anyway, it looks like a combination of Minnie and Annette.
Nalani - Naomi + Lani.
Tangie - Tammy + Angie.
Tinsley - Timmy + Ainsley.
Trillium - this looks like an element on the periodic table. Or Trina + William.
Yancey - I know Yancy is a boy's name. But it looks like Nancy with a Y.
Zarabeth - Zara + Beth.

Falabella (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falabella_%28horse%29). Right.

I went to school with a girl called Brigitta.
And I sort of like the sound of Zarabeth.

It's Christmastime in Hollis, Queens
Mom's cookin' chicken and collard greens

There's something about Lilybet I like.

I love the word Charleston, but I don't think it works well as a human name. On top of the city, it makes me think of Charleston Chews and flappers dancing in a speakeasy.
