Odette is also up there near the top of my list, it's the name of the white swan from Swan Lake, and I really like the name.
Vivian I'm not really fond of, but it might be good as a middle name (Alicia Vivian?)
Alicia I like, but I'm not sure how. It's not on my list of top names, but certainly is a nice one.
Kendra is okay, but I'm not sure about it. I don't think I've heard it before, but it has that exotic feel to it, and now that I think about it it's actually quite nice.
I definitely have a bias for the name Imogen (it's my cousins name), and I think the combination Imogen Charlotte is cute, but again, I am deffo biased. But I always liked the name Imogen before that, so, I dunno, It's a great name, and possible nickname could be Immy?
More suggestions:
Arielle - Different version of Ariella, pronounced the same way.
Odile - The other swan from Swan Lake
Alyssum - Flower name, name I like a lot, could be combined with Odette (Alyssum Odette?)
Isolde - Cute but ages well, nicknames Izi, Sol?
Melisande - Again, it's cute but I think it ages well. Nicknames Mel, Milly?
Umm, can't think of any more atm, will post more suggestions later

I can't believe you suggested this! I love the name Isolde. It's my main guilty pleasure but everyone says that I'm nuts!

Ariella--this is one I'm not a huge fan of. I feel like its too flowery, or something, for my taste at least. I'd prefer either Ara or Ella
Odette--I love this. i don't think i'd ever use it, but I love it. For some reason, it's reminding me of Ophelia, which I adore
Vivian---this is easily one of my favorite names, though I prefer it spelt Vivienne for some reason
Alicia (a-LEE-see-ah)---I love your prn. so much more that uh-LEESH-uh. uh-LEE-see-uh is just so pretty and delicate. Though I prefer Alice, I also quite like Alicia
Kendra--I like it, but I don't at the same time. It's really hard to explain...its a very substantial name. Sort of like Megan or Terri or Alexandra...and I'm not usually a huge fan of those names (I like delicate and pretty most of the time) but I don't hate it either...I'd just never use it
Imogen--there's something I simply adore about this name. It's unique and underused. I love it

Your prn of Alicia is PERFECT It's the only one I like Alessia might also be an idea!
Kendra is really NMS but Odette has always fascinated me! I could never use it, but there's something gorgeous about it <3

I don't think that I could ever use Odette as a first name but I might be able to use it as a middle name.

Odette - Not a fan. I find it very blunt and hard sounding. I much prefer Ophelia or Odelia. The dette ending sounds like debt.
Vivian - Not something I would use myself but I can understand the appeal. I prefer the spelling Vivienne.
Alicia (a-LEE-see-ah) - I think this is more commonly pronounced A-lee-sha. I have heard it said both ways but I think it would cause some confusion. Pronounced A-lee-sha it feels dated, I prefer a-lee-see-ah myself. Perhaps another spelling? I like Alessia (a-less-see-uh).
Kendra - Not my style. It feels dated.
Imogen - This is guilty pleasure for me. Not something I would use myself but I like it.

Odette- nms :L
Vivian- It's nice
Alicia (a-LEE-see-ah)- I feel like that has a different spelling then Alicia (Ah-leesh-a)... Alesia maybe? I don't remember....
Kendra- okay, just not my style x3
Imogen- my sister seems to like this a lot, not sure why It's okay,
