HELP! Baby girl #5 needs a name!

Hi. I’m having a hard time choosing a name for my fifth daughter, due this January.
This baby is a surprise. I’m not excited about it and I’m hoping that finding the perfect name will help instead of calling it an "it". But I worry, because I haven’t really accepted that I’m having another baby, I’m not going to like the way anything sounds. My husband and I hate pretty much every name we look at but I’m hoping something will jump out at me.
She will join her sisters, Taylor Siobhan, Laurel Elizabeth, McKenna Breanne, and Kendall Claire. Taylor was not my choice and I have hated it for 13 years. But I love McKenna Breanne (nickname Kenna) and Kendall Claire (nickname KC/Kacey/Kace) - I can’t see a McKenna being the boss though! I absolutely love Kendall Claire - I feel like anything after that would be a step down.
We know that her middle name will be Charlize, after my brother Charles who was killed about a month ago. It’s the only variant of Charles that I am ok with - I hate Charlotte! Her last name is V.......s.
I want a name that is versatile and could work for an artist, CEO, or anything - except a stripper - something that would look good on a door. Since the last name is so hard to pronounce and spell, I’d like an easier name (No Saorise, Grainne, or Caiome).
I don’t want a popular name, but at the same time, I don’t want anything weird or out there. Definitely nothing in the top 10 or 20, preferably nothing in the top 100. I like Addison, Adeline, and Madison but they are too popular and I abhor the nicknames Abi, Addy, and Mady. Until my brother was killed, we were going to use Gabrielle as a middle name, but I don’t care for it as a first name as I hate the nicknames Gabby and Elle/Ella and Gabrielle is too long not to have a nickname. I also like Sophia and Aubrey, but again, they are too popular - maybe a variant like Aubriana or Aubrielle (I love the nickname Bri). I like Hailey and Riley but I think they are cuter on a baby than an adult. And nothing that can be easily made fun of. I worry that Aurelia is too close to Areola, Anais is too close to Anus, Morgan Charlize would end up being MC something. I like Bria/Brea but it’s so close to my 3rd’s middle name.
These are the names we are considering out of the thousands we looked at. And even out of these, it's probably down to Aurelia, Bryony, Bronwen, Cecily, or Morgan
Aubree (way too popular but I like it. I don't think it sounds right with Charlize, maybe Aubriana)

Aubree (way too popular but I like it. I don't think it sounds right with Charlize, maybe Aubriana)
Aurelia (would an Aurelia be teased - nipples/areola)
Aveline (I think this is much prettier with a French accent than an American English one)
Bronwen / Bronwyn
Bryony (I could probably use the nickname Bri for this one)
Cecily
Morgan (I liked this years ago, but I don't know - nickname - Morg? like where dead bodies go?, hate Mo too.)
Zosia (with a long “o” - zoe-sha)
If you can help me out, I’d appreciate it.
Names we’ve already rejected -Caroline, Genevieve, Arianna, Violet, plus a whole host of other names (Anastasia is pretty but not since 50 shades), Kenleigh/Kennedy (I love these but no more Ken names), Matilda (was my grandmother’s name but even she didn’t use it), Regan (like it but it makes me think of the Exorcist), Shanley (a family surname we thought about but it doesn’t sound right)

I think Brie works as a nn for Gabrielle as well, which would be cute.
Matilda - possible nn Tillie?
Gemma Charlize
Elowen Charlize

Lorelei Charlize
Willa Charlize
Jocelyn Charlize

I also love Morgan. It's a classic, but underused now. I don't think people will automatically call her Morg. I know two Morgans and have never heard them called Morg.
Also suggest Megan. Very similar sound/feel, and Meg is an adorable nn.
Melody nn Mel
Bethany nn Beth
Daniella nn Dani or Ella
Bridget
Fiona
Felicity
Evangeline nn Eva or Evie
Coraline nn Cora
Mallory
I agree...Aurelia runs a very high risk of teasing, especially once they hit junior high health class!
I also like the suggestions of Maren and Marlow!
