I just noticed you have Adelaide as a German name. I think Germanic would be more accurate since the German version of Adelaide is actually Adelheid. Adelaide is the French/English version of the German name.
Here is a german name site http://www.baby-vornamen.de/Maedchen/A/Ad/Adelaide/ that states the same that is easy to navigate even without German language skills.

Also short addition:
For Baer which you also have down as German. The "ae" combo is actually an older/less known alternative for the a umlaut (Bär would be the proper German spelling). Bär and therefore Baer literally translates to Bear. It's not even Bearlike or dweller at the sign of the bear as suggested - it would be a word for word translation. Though I don't mind the definition it seems a little extraneous for something so simple. I however think it's also more Gemanic than German - behindthename.com has it listed as a diminutive form of the Limburgish Albaer and suggest that the German equivalent is (Al)bert which seems very plausible. Also, I have never been able to find the name Baer on a German name site.

My great grandmothers name was Eunica. I haven't found it on any name site yet and I don't know if it was a early form of Eunice. I did find out that it is a genus of butterflies. She died before I was born so I couldn't ever ask where her name came from.

Ananya! I believe it was the number 1 girls' name in India and it is distinctive without being weird.

Senja (A name that is both Finnish & Indonesian). I believe the Finnish form is from the name Xenia.

Oh, by the way, I think that Sol is an unisex name...but I might be wrong...

Sol, also called Sunna, was the Norse goddess of the Sun.

I met a woman today with the name Jamea (pronounced Jamie). I checked it out on a few other sites. It appears to be Hebrew in origin.
