I actually like a great deal of these names, except for the spelling. Names I'd veto:

Araxie: my only estimate of how to pronounce this sounds awful.
Karena: Ehhh...nothing special about it
Coral: I just don't like it. I prefer Cora.
Opal: Too old ladish for my tastes.

Names I like and why:

Oriana: I've always thought this was a lovely name, with a pretty meaning and history. It's quite underused.
Rosalynd: Spelled Rosalind, it's up there on my list of favorites.
Maren: Very cute...

As for the rest...

Grace: Simple, sweet. Makes a good middle name.
Anabella: I prefer Annabel, but nothing wrong with this version.
Eliana: Could be extremely pretty if you aren't put off by having a million pronounciations.
Briella: I like Brielle, except for the made up sounding factor.
Katherina: It's alright. I prefer Katharina since it's from The Taming of the Shrew
