I love Lydia, Amelia, and Stella. Particularly Stella and Amelia. They seem like sweet, old fashioned names, but ones which are going to stand the test of time. You can picture a little girl with those names, but you can also picture a CEO. (maybe Lydia a little less so than the other three)
Dahlia and Scarlett seem a bit like they're trying too hard. Scarlett is just Gone with the Wind to me.
Sophie I have issues with, but I think they're my own personal issues. I think it's a beautiful, adorable name. But it does somehow seem juvenile to me. It also seems like it should be a nickname for Sophia, even though I know it's not.
I like Amelie, but it does not seem in the same category as all the other names you suggested. I don't really think it would be mispronounced, though. Don't you think enough people would have seen that movie that came out a few years ago?

1. Lydia - like it
2. Amelia - like it
3. Dahlia - don't like it
4. Scarlett - don't like it - I associate it with Scarlett O'Hara and I just think it's too dramatic or something.
5. Sophie - pretty, but too common
6. Stella - love it! This is one of my favorite girl names. It's a very pretty, classic name that isn't overused.
