Help Me Narrow My List Down!

I'm looking to narrow this list down a little bit, as it's currently sitting at about 35 names. I'd love some feedback on these, with how wearable/usable they are.

Our surname is two syllables long, if that affects anything, and we'd prefer for the name to work in English and German if we can, but it's not a top priority for us (S/O may be transferred to Germany for work but it's not definite, it's more of an if right now).

Here is our list;

Daisy
Matilda
Hattie
Lillian
Elsie
Millie
Clara (we pronounce it Claire-ah)
Florence
Alice
Beatrice
Rosie
Ruby
Eleanor
Eloise
Martha
Libby
Betsy
Marnie
Molly
Alexandria
Gracie
Natalie
Lily
Sophie
Audrey
Ellie
Violet
Poppy
Evie
Scarlett
Evelyn
Lucy
Felicity
Maisie
Stella
Nora

Thank you for any feedback, it's appreciated!

Glad to see that you pronounce Clara as 'Clair-a' my favourite way, and how it always used to be said in the UK before the current wave of popularity (and Doctor Who!) made everyone say Klah-ra. I think Clair-a has a softer sound. But you mention a German connection? I always thought the German way to say it would be klah-ra, was I wrong about this then?

I like most of your names. Not sure if Poppy works in Europe. Hattie, Gracie and Ellie are cute but sound like they should be short for Harriet, Grace and Eleanor (or another 'El' name). And Libby for Elizabeth (or maybe Liberty?). Daisy, Alice, Sophie and Stella are gorgeous.

Alice, Eleanor or Rosie for me. Possibly Alexandria, but it depends how much you like the nn for it, I'm not overly keen on Alex for a girl.
