I'm quite biased
Since I'm a Texan, I have a natural inclination to love it, and I very much do. However, it's not necessarily a place name, as Austin is a contracted form of Augustine, as well as a surname. If you're going with Augustine, brothers could be Francis, Benedict and even Constantine, while sisters could be Mary, Elizabeth and Catherine.
From your list, I would pair Austin with Annabelle, Audrey, Rose (remember the Yellow Rose of Texas), Savannah and Scarlett, as well as Chloe or Zoe, since Austin is such a hip, sideways, unexpected sort of place.
Strictly for myself, sibs for Austin would include brothers Houston, Dallas, and Travis (Austin is in Travis County), and sisters Abilene and Daisetta (nn's Abby and Daisy). If these ideas come on too strong, there is the perhaps more conservative, less obvious route of, for example, brothers named for
Stephen Fuller Austin (officially called the Father of Texas)
Samuel Houston (variously President, Governor and Senator of Texas)
David Gouverneur Burnet (President of Texas)
Mirabeau Buonaparte Lamar (President of Texas)
William Barret Travis (hero of the Alamo)

i love the name Austin for a boy, but I'm not so sure about a girl

meh
Personally, I never warmed to Austin... I never even knew one, but I imagine a bratty snot-nosed chubby bully-type kid, or a nerdy red head. I guess if I knew one my oppinion could change.

I love the name Austin...definitely one of my favorite boys' names. I've liked it since I was a little girl. It's so masculine and handsome-sounding imo. From your list of girls' names, I think these fit well with Austin:
Arielle
Audrey
Aurora
Cassandra
Chloe
Elizabeth
Gabriella
Isabella
Olivia - love this one!
Savannah
Scarlett
Sophia
Tatiana
Zoe
