I’m all for using whichever name you love regardless of popularity, but if it bothers you, I wouldn’t do [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]. It’s even more popular than [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], especially with [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] factored in.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites of your list are [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] (Evie)!

Evangeline (Evie) : Evangeline is in my top five. I think it’s gorgeous! Evie is fine, but I adore the full name.
Charlotte (Family name, but it’s so popular I don’t think I would use it as a first name) : I am with you. It’s pretty, and it’s a family name, but it’s so popular I’d put it in the middle if I used it.
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] is just perfection with [name_u]Henry[/name_u]! [name_f]My[/name_f] second choice would be [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] or [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]. Have you considered any of the following?
From your list I’m drawn to [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f].
[name_u]Love[/name_u] the name [name_f]Nora[/name_f], but think it might be too popular. Have you considered something like [name_f]Annora[/name_f] , [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f], [name_f]Leonora[/name_f]? Might give you more nickname options….Annie, [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Lea[/name_f] or [name_f]Nora[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] over [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] for some reason.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. Of all the names this is my top choice.
I would use the nickname [name_f]Lollie[/name_f] with full name [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f].
Other names you might like….
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Rowena[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
