I agree with other posters that Scarlett and Willow aren't uncommon.

I had to look Lucelia up, as I'd never come across it before, and it is unusual and recently coined. To me, it looks a bit like a cut and paste of Lucy and Celia and I don't think it works (sorry).

But of this is the sort of name you like, how about Lucinda, Lucia, Cecilia, Cecily, Celia, Rosalind, Miranda?

here is the top 100 baby names list so you can see how popular the names you like are.
Elodie is a lovely name?

I know a baby Nylah which is lovely.

Scarlett and Grace are nice, I like them, but fairly normal these days and willow, which I like a lot, is increasing in popularity. I would think in 5 yrs by the time your DD is starting school she wont be the only one in her year.

Willow is lovely. Lucelia is a bit fussy in my opinion and Scarlett and Grace aren't rare or unusual. How about Lorna? Marilla?

Scarlett not that unusual at the moment, nor is Grace.
Willow is ok
Lucelia is different, ok but will be shortened to Lucy
Niah - prefer it without the h, tbh.

What about Elora? Crossed my mind because of Willow (the film) - she is the baby princess who saves everyone from the misery - might be appropriate?

And just so you know you have given away your entire name in this post, which you may or may not have wanted to do - most people don't tend to do that on here but if it doesn't bother you, that's fine.
