Ethelinda is kind of cool, but I don’t think it will work in real life. It sounds way too medieval. It would be great for a character.

Yes! I love Ethelinda. The sound has an otherworldly, ancient beauty and the meaning is gorgeous. From your list, I loved the combo Ethelinda Constance (but all of them were nice, imho). A few more of my favorites are:
Ethelinda Prudence
Ethelinda Mildred
Ethelinda Victoire
Ethelinda Verity
Ethelinda Julian
Ethelinda Blanche
Ethelinda Janice
Ethelinda Carol
Ethelinda Mairead
Ethelinda Marian
Ethelinda Florence
Ethelinda Enid

Ethelinda Blanche

I like it!
Question on pronunciation
Is it Ethelinda - is the first "e" long as in the river Lethe, or, is the first letter "E" short - with the second letter "e" resounding as short vowel as well?

I’ve always said it with a short E. Also like your River Lethe analogy.

Sebastian: What relish is in this? how runs the stream?
Or I am mad, or else this is a dream:
Let fancy still my sense in Lethe steep;
If it be thus to dream, still let me sleep!
Olivia: Nay; come, I prithee. Would thou'dst be rul'd by me!
Sebastian: Madam, I will.
Olivia: O! say so, and so be!
