Girl names - short list, other suggestions?

Hello all - we're in the final stretch, and I think we're starting to narrow down name options. We had a tough time naming our first and ended up taking a short list to the hospital and made the final decision after we met him. I think we'd like to do the same this time as well. Below is our current running list:
- Eleanor Danielle (nn Nora, might just skip Eleanor and call her Nora although I tend to like nicknames. Still concerned about the popularity of this one)
- Grace Danielle (might be too popular)
- Audrey Danielle (might be too popular, also a friend's daughter's name)
- Miriam Danielle (Miri nn)
- Lucy Danielle
A few other names that have been considered - Amelia (Mia), Emery, Gabrielle
Danielle is after my brother (middle name Daniel) who passed away. We are not completely set on Danielle if there is first name that we like that it doesn't work with. Another idea to honor him would be to keep the initials "A.D.".
Any other suggestions or thoughts / comments? We tend to like older, kind of quirky names, but those are all of a sudden more popular! I think with our son we had a few names we really liked, and this time we just have some that we kind of like...

Another nn for Miriam could be Mira - my husband actually likes that nn better than Miri.
Eleanor / Nora has been a name that I've liked for a really long time, I'm a little disappointed that it seems to be so popular now bc I'd prefer to name our kids something a little less common. Our son's name is Wesley, which I thought wasn't very common, but there is another Wesley in his preschool class so he's already referred to by our last name... which was exactly what I was trying to avoid.
My brother's first name was Alan, so I could also use some version of that for a middle name. Alana? It just seemed that Danielle worked a little better with some of the first names we like. Daniella could be an option too.
I like the suggestions of Evelyn and Vera but husband does not.

My second choice from your original list would be Amelia Danielle.
I also like Alana/Alanna as a first name, eg,
Alana Grace
Alana Miriam
