First of all: check a list of most popular baby names. Some of those you have listed are in the top 100 at least, if not top 10 in some places. I know quite a few Olivias, Graces, Savannahs, Gingers, Liams, Dakotas, and Olivers.
Then try web-searches for uniques names. I personally got great ideas from "Celtic Names" "Hippie Names", "Mythical names", etc. I like this site: http://www.unique-baby-names.org/
And I got a great book called "The Complete Book of Magical Names". Judging from some of the names you've listed, you'd like a LOT of the names in the book.
We ended up naming our children both Welsh names, although neither of us is Welsh. But when they were born, they fit... and as they've grown they've really proven the choices right. They also each got a "spirit name", which aren't on their birth certificates, but which are very meaningful. My son's came to me in a dream as I was going into labour with him: Azrael. And My daughter's came out of an intuitive realization I had that she was going to be similar to my aunt, so her spirit name is Marianne. Their legal names are Taliesin River and Rhiannon Raven.
