Most of the people in this community are afraid of "different sounding" names. I think it's sad because there might be some names you love, but you're not going to get much positive comment on them, because they're unusual.
I know an Oriana (spelled just that way) and I like the name. She is a confident and attractive girl.
The only name I would take off of the list (both as a middle name, and as a first name) is Grace. Grace is off the charts trendy right now and I would not touch it with a ten foot pole. Yes it's beautiful, but you'll look like a huge copycat if you use it.
Good luck with your decisions. Take everyone's advice (including mine) with a grain of salt and go with what you love.
