Tara - lovely name. One of my favourite characters from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. Can't think of a single drawback to this name.
Martha - like it. Feels very warm and motherly, maybe a bit "old."
Samantha - generally like it. I've known several Samantha, so it feels quiet popular/common.
Rachel - love. I've known at least one Rachel (though she went by her 2nd name), but I most closely associate it with the very tragic Biblical character. It feels gentle and feminine but also a touch sad.
Joanna - like. I know an older, very educated woman with this name (well, a variant: Johanna). It's pretty and kind of feels "wise" to me.
Oswald - I don't really want to say I dislike it, but I kind of do. It's very strongly linked in my mind with Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot aka The Penguin (of DC Comics and adaptations), so it's basically impossible for me to take seriously. Could make a decent middle name, though, I suppose.
Isaac - love this one. Love the meaning, and it just sounds/looks nice. I think I know exactly one Isaac, and he's a kid/teen.
Quentin - I'm neutral on this one, no really strong feelings in any direction. It feels a bit "upper crust," a bit "prep school." But not really in a bad way. Could make a nice middle name.
Dashiell - dislike, mostly because I look at it and my brain goes, "What?!?!" I don't know how to pronounce it, and as someone who's always struggle with spelling, it's basically mocking me (lol). Could be really cute nn Dash, though...
Timon - isn't this the name of that meerkat from The Lion King? I have trouble taking it seriously. I much prefer Timothy.
