Adelaide is too South Australia.
Augusta is very formal, and Gussie, Gus, Augie etc are unlovely and unlovable.
Cecilia is long and frilly; can be fine for a mn but for fn purposes, give me Cecily any time.
Theodora ... the meaning seems more obtrusive than that of Dorothy, and it's not a meaning that I find meaningful; plus, I know an early 20s Theodora whose father chose the name (he's a lay preacher) but she hates it and will only answer to Theo.
Imagina? That's a name, is it? Well, well. (But I really do like Imogen!)

I saw Imagina on a site of royal forenames, but for the life of me I cannot figure out who had that forename. Maybe someone just made it up for the website.
Or it might have been someone misunderstanding an advertisement - there's an interior design company in South Africa called Imagenius, and I suppose there must be similar firms elsewhere.
Adelaide - I like it, it is very pretty. I know a person with this name and she is great.
Augusta - I don't like it. It doesn't look or sound pretty to me.
Cecilia - I think it is kind of pretty, but for some reason I find it a little annoying.
Theodora - I like Theo, but Theodora is too much and I don't think it is that pretty.
Imagina - I don't like the sound or the look of it.

Adelaide is adorable.
I like August for a bot but Augusta is too gutsy and brash for a girl
Cecelia is cute but too whimsical and stuttery for my liking. Theodora is cute and I like Thea as a nn but it's a little ott and I really love Theodore so I've never consider the feminine version.
Imagina is weird. Imogen is nicer.
