Sounds a bit like me. My current list consists of Bronwen, Gwendolen, Lorraine, Penelope, Amber, Jocelyn (I have more, but these are what I can remember)
I usually run any names I like through Name Berry (to see what's being discussed), SSA Names (to see popularity) and Behind the Name for meaning and spelling)
Our top 7 were Annabel, Emma, Grace, Harlow, Macy, Maya, and Olivia. We nixed Emma and Olivia because they were too popular, and it sounds like you might dislike them for the same reason. I got some really good reactions to Harlow - people seem to think it's unique but not weird.

I actually really like Wren. I couldn't pull it off with my last name, but it's a pretty name.

My DD's name is Hilarie Dawn. Yes, I picked that spelling on purpose. Dawn was a runner up name but we just thought it flowed nicely with Hilarie.
The other 2 names we took to the hospital were Evie Noelle (VERY close #2) and Dawn Renee.
I adore the name Tanith (like the ice dancer) and also like Danica, Lana, Vivian, Autumn, April, and Hope (my middle name).
