Opinions on Girl Short List

in Baby Names
My husband and I sat down and crossed off a lot of names from our long list (some I have asked about on here) and I think we have a good short list now. I'm still not sure which is my favorite and have reservations on some, but would love unbiased opinions. My feelings won't be hurt! I like classic but spunky and a little bit different; not too frilly. I also like names people know how to say.
Last name sounds like Dreams. Big sister is Lydia Reese. Likely middle name is Jane or Lee (both family names).
Cora
Hattie
Eliza
Camila (possibly nickname Mila or Cami; Pronounced kuh-MEEL-uh)
Nora
DD1 June 2011
DD2 Due January 2015

None are my style at all but kinda like Camilla. Ok, in this order I guess.
Camila Jane Dreams (possibly nickname Mila or Cami; Pronounced kuh-MEEL-uh)
CoraLee Jane Dreams
Hattie Jane Dreams
Eliza Jane Dreams
Nora Jane Dreams
All these names end in vowels which tend to run into the mn Lee which is the reason I ended up pairing Jane with all of them.
My thought on the nickname Cami, that's a word I use a lot as short for camisole. Also it's supposed to be spelled Camilla unless your Portuguese, and I personally prefer the English pronunciation: kə-MIL-ə.
Cora - I love Cora. I think it is exactly what you want, short, spunky, not super common but still recognizable.
Hattie - I don't like this as a full name and all I can think of is hats...
Eliza - I just don't see this as a pretty name.
Camila - I much prefer the pronunciation of Cah-MILL-uh. I don't love it and I think that it doesn't fit your criteria since people pronounce it differently often.
Nora - I feel exactly the same about Nora as I do about Cora.
