As a long time lurker, I see that unisex names are not hugely popular on this board but I figured I would ask anyways.
I have 3 kids. My oldest son is Foster Aiden and we have 2 daughters named Joey Elizabeth and Ryan Emily.
Clearly you can see the type of girl names we like. Now I am asking for some suggestions because I am pregnant with a little girl. We have some names already that we are tossing around. We just need some help with middle names (and we are open to more first name suggestions!)
Sawyer
Spencer
Elliot
James
Andy
Felix

Yep, those are not unisex names on your list. Those are boys names you want to put on a girl for some ridiculous reason.
The only (truly) unisex name that I like is Robin.
Oscar born October 2011
Miscarriage at 8 weeks (August 2013)
DD due September 1, 2014
I also don't mind Sloane, Blair and Morgan.
But the ones on your list are straight masculine sans Andy (as a nn for Andrea) or Lou (for Lousia, etc)
Suggestions:
Meredith
Jamie
Morgan
Alexis
Leslie
Kelly
Shannon
Toby
Wren/Ren
Um none. Sorry. The only names I can think of that I consider "unisex" are
Taylor
Madison
Morgan
Peyton (?) Though I don't care for it for either sex
I like the list @bromios provided.
Adair
Emerson
Reese
Arden
Taylor
I don't think your list is unisex at all. The only name on your list I have seen on a girl IRL is Sawyer and I think it is very masculine. The Sawyer I know is after her grandmother's maiden name... but still, I don't love it.

No more TTC for us. We are done, and at peace, as a family of 4.

I am in the minority on this, but I really like feminine names with "boy" NNs. Maybe something like that would work for you?
On my personal list is Francesca NN Frankie (I liked it BEFORE Drew used it OKAY????)
But I think these work also:
Jacqueline NN Jackie
Michaela NN Mickey/ Mick
Matilda NN Mattie
Natalie NN Nat
Chalotte NN Charlie
Antonia NN Toni
If not, other unisex names I like are (but might not fit your style)
River
Harley
Hayden
Quinn
Ainsley
Ashley (though this has heavily gone to the girls)
Cary/ Carrie
Blythe
Blair
Darcy
Greer/ Grier
Gale/ Gail

What about...

The only boy names on girls I can stomach are Jordan, Morgan and Sydney.

From your list, I would probably go with Drew. You seem to like traditional girls MNs, so
Drew Marie
Drew Elise
Drew Margaret
Drew Catherine
Drew Jacqueline
Drew Isabel
Drew Olivia

Lol. I knew I was in for it as soon as I said that.
Our girl name list is:
Shelby Iris
Taylor Jade
Skylar Autumn
Morgan Sophia
Shae Josephine
If it were completely my decision our girl name choice would be Arden Sophia.
I would definitely choose something that is established as or at least becoming a unisex and I think a feminine MN is a must.

Oy vey. There are so many of these kinds ^^ lately. It's cute/weird that "old people names" are what some try and turn into an insult. Do people even realize that the children we are naming will be adults for the vast majority of their lives? That "cute" names turn goofy after age 8?

Yeah, I'm raising my DD to be a future old lady, because I want and expect her to be old someday. I don't expect her to be a dude.

This!
I actually like Lou, mostly because I think it is a legit French name for a girl.
Can stomach Drew, also like Sutton, Dylan, Sloane, Frances/Francesca.
The problem is that boy names get turned into girl names and never return, which is lame. I'm sure you would never have named your son Elizabeth or Grace. Why is that?
There are so many great girl names- I just can't see why you would pick a name like Felix. Ugh, girl Felix sounds kind of strippery, actually. Not a fan.
