I think Alice is the prettiest, and it's timeless. I know a 90 year old Alice.

Sophia - nice name but insanely popular. Getting less common where I live now but I know dozens between the ages of 12 and 20
Penelope / Penny - I'm not a fan but I don't know why. I know a lot of these under 2
Alice - lovely. Classic, popular, pretty.
Mia - meh. Dull.
Charlotte - again lovely - popular but pretty
Grace - I don't like this. There are too many and I don't like the sound.

Alice or Charlotte for me from your list

@Fivebeanchilli , that is pretty much what I think.

Alice and Charlotte are popular but they are classic - safe enough to not brand someone as being in a certain age group, they work in other countries, and could be royal princesses or just anyone.

Sophia - Love it.
Penelope / Penny - Love Penelope. Not keen on Penny. Know a girl called Penelope who goes by Nelly.
Alice - Boring.
Mia - On the fence. Prefer Maya (My-ah)
Charlotte - Also boring. But love Lottie.
Grace - Boring.

Penelope 100%, Mia is also really cute!
a mix of the two could be Pia, I think it’s cute:)

Love Sophia and Mia (but I'm with a pp who loves Maya)
