Names I like and would use.
Frances
Clio
Evengelina/Evie
Lydia
Azura
Indigo
Adelaide
Harriet
Cody
Mallory
Rory
Names I like but am less likely to use/Maybe middle names:
Luna
Marina
Blue
Beatrix
Faith
Felicity
Flora
Bridget
Names I like but would probably never, ever use:
Lorelai
Cassiopia
Lolita
Wednesday

Frances - Seems old lady to me. I really like Francesca
Clio - Not loving this. I like Chloe or Clotilde better.
Evengelina/Evie - Evangelina is pretty, not a fan of Evie (reminds me of the character on that "Out of This World" TV show...I think that's what it was called).
Lydia - Not bad, reminds me of "Pride and Prejudice"
Azura - Pretty
Indigo - Makes me think of dingo.
Adelaide - Not my favourite.
Harriet - I'm not a fan of this one.
Cody - I don't love many unisex names.
Mallory - Makes me think of The Babysitters Club books
Rory - Gilmore Girls...I prefer Aurora, Rory as a nn
Names I like but am less likely to use/Maybe middle names:
Luna - Cute, especially as a middle name
Marina - I really like this one
Blue - Not a fan (would go with Azura instead)
Beatrix - I prefer Beatrice
Faith - I don't hate it but not one of my favourites
Felicity - Same as Faith
Flora - Not a fan
Bridget - Pretty, not my fave
Names I like but would probably never, ever use:
Lorelai - Gilmore Girls...not my fave
Cassiopia - Not feeling this one
Lolita - Nabokov...I prefer Lola
Wednesday - Addams...I just see a pale girl with pigtails

Frances - I have bad associations with this name but if I didn't I'm sure I would love this name
Clio - I prefer it spelt Cleo but I think the name is lovely
Evengelina/Evie - prefer Evangeline, but it's a bit too much for me, Evie is so cute though
Lydia - this is gorgeous
Azura - really like this but I don't know if I could see an adult with it
Indigo - I prefer this for a boy but it could make a cute middle name
Adelaide - Love this so much, beautiful
Harriet - Cute, especially with the nickname Hattie
Cody - not sure about this one, prefer Cori/Cory short for Coralie/Cordelia/Coriander
Mallory - I like this, sounds very uplifting, not so keen on the meaning
Rory - Really like this, on it's own or as a nickname for Aurora
Names I like but am less likely to use/Maybe middle names:
Luna - Lovely as a middle name
Marina - So pretty, love Marine as well
Blue - Prefer Indigo or other colours like Scarlet or Violet
Beatrix - one of my top favourite names, love Beatrice as well
Faith - not so keen on this, prefer Prudence or Harmony as a virtue name
Felicity- this is so beautiful, as a first name I love it with the nickname Fliss or Flossie
Flora - This is so cute, love it as a change from more popular flower names
Bridget - I like Brigid a little bit better, I thinkit sounds slightly softer, but it's a fabulous name
Names I like but would probably never, ever use:
Lorelai - I really like this :)
Cassiopia - a bit much maybe, like Cassia better
Lolita - quite like this one, but still unsure, I think it's growing on me though
Wednesday - If they were born on a wednesday I think that it's could be sweet as a middle name but as a first name I think it's a bit much
Fantastic list, LOVE your style :)

Of your first category, you got my favorite name, Lydia. I also like Evangeline(a) with the nickname Evie, Rory is cute, and I do like the nickname Hattie for Harriet. I'm not a fan of color/word names for the most part, and Frances would be a very pretty middle name.
Of the second category, Luna and Bridget are my favorite. The others are a bit too out-there for me, and Faith and Felicity just don't sit well with me. Faith is a bit cheesy and popular for me, and Felicity always reminds me of the American Girl dolls.
Of the final category, my favorite is the mythological Cassiopeia. Very interesting, pretty, and has cute nicknames. I don't care for Wednesday, but I do find January rather intriguing as an alternative!

Lotus - More as a MN. It's a lovely word

Kari
Sora

More ae...
Delores - Like, prefer it spelt Dolores though. I started off almost hating this name but it has really grown on me. Love the nn Lola
Dinah - Would love if it didn't sound so much like a diner where you go to eat
Diana - Love:) I still think of the princess
Lotus - Not a fan. I straight away see lotus position. That's yoga by the way...
Cera - If it's pronounced the same as Sara than why not just use that? I do like this spelling though, I just think it would have pronunciation issues.
Kari - Doesn't seem like a complete name to me. I like Carrie or Kerry
Sora - I don't know why but I immediatly thought of the mask of Zoro. Not loving this one...
