I like Vienna, Calista, Celistin, Mehitabel and Lucretia. Calista and Lucretia even are on my PNL... From the dads list, I like Ezkil.
When I see Orpha, I just have to think about 'orphan' - not so great for a name I think. But the combo Lelia Delia is just too funny; what the *duck were her parents thinking?! xD

Rockcena is probably because a lot of people were illiterate and they spelled based on phonetics.
Luthera is interesting, being a Lutheran.
I have an Almena and a Thankful in my family tree...they are great and great great grandmothers.

Harvey - this was my maternal grandfather's name. I don't even like it as a masculine name, mostly due to the association (he had very few redeeming qualities, which is to say, none that I know of). I can't see it as a feminine name.

---

Salinda - looks like a combination of 'Sal' (Sally, Salvador, etc) with 'Linda'. Possibly usable, but not my style.

---

Orpha - I'm sure I've seen this at least once, though possibly in a literary rather than rl setting. I'd consider it generally usable.

---

Rhoda - again, seen it at least once. Consider it usable.

---

Hepzibah - definitely familiar with it, but it certainly is rare. I feel it would be usable as a mn, though probably not as a fn.

---

Urana - guessing this is related to Uranus. Not usable for pretty much the same reasons that one isn't.

---

Ethylinda - combination of Ethel and Linda? Possibly usable as a mn.

---

Lovinia - definitely seen this or at least a very similar name (Lavinia?). Probably not usable, but also just not my style (and I prefer Lavinia).

---

Huldah - possibly related to Hilda? Pretty sure I've seen it, though, at least once. Not my style, but probably usable as a mn at least.

---

Persella - a variant of Priscilla? I'd probably just use Priscilla.

---

Lura - likely a variant of Laura, and I'd just use Laura. I guess I'm not a huge fan of variant spellings.

---

Heliann - combination of Helen and Ann? Looks too much like "hellion" to be usable, imo.

---

Marava - a variation on Mara? Looks like a combination with Rava, but I don't know if that would fit the setting... Possibly usable, but really not my style.
