I like:
Finley
Jean-Benoit
&
Estella
Philippa
Viviana
Georgiana
Hazel
Juliet
I was going to suggest Shaelyn to you, until I realized you had but Shealyn in the boys' names section. I'm sorry, but I don't find anything remotely masculine about Shealyn or Vyvyan. :-(

That's fine. I have heard that from people before.
However, in their/my defense:
Vivian was a boy's name before it was a girl's name. Vyvyan is how Oscar Wilde's son's name was spelled and I just like it for great and terrible reasons I can't explain.
Shealyn has been on my boys' list for a decade now. I have known two male Shealyns and one male Shayley in my life (and a handful of Sheas.) It's masculine enough for me. I'm not into to "macho" sounds anyway.

Didn't know that about Wilde...
I guess you learn something new every day! Vyvyan Wilde does look pretty awesome on paper, though.
