Names

Girl names...
My husband and I are expecting our first born in early November, and we don't know the gender. We have decided on a boy name, or more like re-decided since it's what we have always planned on using but then considered not using since my cousin recently stole the first name. If our baby is a boy his name will be Tobias Christopher. However we are basically no where on girls. Sure we have a list, but it's got so many names it really doesn't put us anywhere, you know like it's not a top five or whatever.

Currently, this is my list. It's not really been discussed with my husband a whole lot although some of them have. But it's my list... we'll call it a top 40? Some are meant to be middle names but I really don't know that anyone cares that much. Feel free to offer feed back or combinations you like/dislike. Or feel free to skip all together I really don't care, just wanted to share. :-p
edit
Just wanted to add some info. I tend to like names that sound as if you picked them off a shelf and had to blow a thin layer of dust off. With female names I really love more old world sounding hyper feminine without sounding flowery or too over the top. I know some of these names really don't fit in that genre, and others are uber popular right now (which sucks, cuz I am kinda anal about my kind not being one of 5 in their class) but in general that's what I like.
