That is a long shortlist.
I'd say they are all fine apart from Mariella and I'm not sure about Lilian. Shouldn't it have another "L">

Matilda makes me think Dahl and Mariella, I think Frostrop, but like the others, Rosalind is my fave.

You've picked lovely names although not sure on Matilda. I particularly like Juliet (although not sure of Julie as a shortened version), Imogen and Cecilia.

Lillian - think has 2 l in the middle doesn't it?

Mariella - could grow on me.

I like Zoe. It's short and sweet, which probably explains its recent surge in popularity: www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Zoe
