I really like a lot of these names, but I can understand how I might be in the minority. Names like Olga and Linus, you have to be the sort of person that sees the beauty in an ugly-duckling name. My favorites from your list are:

---

Innogen
Bronagh
Holiday (although I really like the way Holliday Grainger spells it)
Françoise
Olga
Artemis
Tempest
Kinneret
Frances (this consistently makes my top ten, especially since it makes such a nice middle, balancing out a frillier first name)

---

Dickon (loved this since I was five and my mum read The Secret Garden to me)
Amaury
Linus
Quincey (prefer the Quincy spelling)
Schuyler (only this spelling, not Skyler)
Raoul (one of my very favorites)
Gilbert
Alfred
Currer & Acton (probably wouldn't use either, but I love the subtle Brontë nod here, without using Charlotte, Emily, Anne, or actual Brontë)

The only ones I absolutely don't like on here are Hebe and Roberta. Roberta is solid and stodgy to me, whilst I absolutely cannot get heebie-jeebie out of my mind with Hebe.
