Well, whatever the origins, here are my opinions:

---

Stellan on a girl: Nah. Too masculine. Not good enough as a woman's name.
Callan: eh, sounds a bit too similar to a lot of trendy male names. Lacks something..not sure what. I like Callie though
Clay's a decent boy name; will be thought of as short for Clayton. I would not use it on a girl
Ilse: nice
Lamar: it's a surname that was used for a major street where I live, so it's masculine to me; otherwise, I guess I could get used to it on a woman
Nixie: word 'nix' in it is awfully negative sounding
Pepin: I could adjust to it, but it sounds a bit nicknamey
Zelda: okay; antiquated to me
Zelinda: okay; might appear to some as kre8iv form of Melinda, since changing initials to Z is a fad
Zelma: sim. to Zelinda
nn Zel: doesn't appeal to me particularly, but is okay
