Help - my taste in names is pants!

Ok I've started two threads re names so far, and seems like I'm a bit rubbish!! I tend to like the nickname rather than the original and traditional name...
So rather than start a new thread for each name, here is my shortlist(ish):

Nelly/Nellie
Maisie
Milly
Maddison
Ava
Evie
Gracie
Darcy
Willow
Bracken
Autumn
Ada
Marcy
Isabella (But would be called Bella)

So straw poll? Second name will be May - not because it's 'in' but it's a family name...

Isabella is the nicest name.

I also like Nell - but as a nickname for Eleanor.

I don't think its pants at all - all 3 of mine are known as nicknames however I wanted them to have choice so gave them full names on their certificated iyswim?

Nelly - I would avoid like the plague only because I was teased mercilessly about being a normal tubby child and the thought of landing any daughter of mine with being Nellie the elephant would give me the shivers

Maisie - cute for a child but a touch too cute for a grown up?
Milly - fine for a baby/child again - how about using it as a nn for Amelie/Camille etc
Maddison - fine
Ava - fine
Evie - fine but love Evangeline so would use that
Gracie - why not have Grace but call her Gracie
Willow - lovely
Bracken - touch harsh sounding, what about Briar or Blythe?
Autumn - lovely
Ada - lovely
Marcy - not keen
Isabella - lovely as is Bella

Only one?

I'd go for Maisie.
