Constance - an old prudish woman who never drank or had sex and lived as a spinster librarian that always "shusssshed" people.

I like Ines and Lara though. I imagine them skiing in some swanky resort, looking cool with gorgeous hair. Don't know why. Just cool names.

Lara - blonde and posh

Middle class well-educated parents.

Constance - ugly name for a boring girl
Matilda - the book/film/play. I like this name the best from your list
Ines - not a real name imo
Ophelia - very pretentious, would assume she was snooty and self absorbed
Lara - Croft. Boring name
Cicely - not a real name imo
Hannah - really like it, but its quite dated now. Would assume she was down to earth and friendly
