[name_f]My[/name_f] faves for you are:
[name_u]Fern[/name_u] - nature-y but namery, gentle and lovely
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] - feminine but not frilly and a beautiful name in general
[name_u]Hazel[/name_u] - sweet and warm but rugged too
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - pretty but solid and strong
[name_f]Sylva[/name_f] - intriguing, unexpected and sleek
[name_f]Nola[/name_f] - fresh but solid
[name_f]My[/name_f] least faves for you are:
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] - as a middle, I really like it, but as a first it feels heavy
[name_f]Carys[/name_f] - okay, I adore [name_f]Carys[/name_f] and I hate to put it on this list, but it’s very rhymey with your surname to me 
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] + [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - they’re not bad, but not exciting
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] - a hard to live up to name
A few I’d consider adding

[name_f]Mabli[/name_f]
[name_u]Storm[/name_u]
[name_f]Odette[/name_f]

Here are my favorites for you:
[name_f]Carys[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this vibe with your other children! It fits in with them, but is also really distinct.
[name_u]Fern[/name_u] - Fits that sweet spot of familiar but not common that your other children have
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] - such a pretty and fresh name
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] - It has a certain elegance and charm that nicely accompanies your other childrens’ names
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] - ngl, this name is not my style, but it pleasantly complements your other children. I like that it has an n sound but doesn’t shoehorn you into that ending.
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] and [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] are fine, but you’re kind of pushing yourself into an “ends with n” theme if more children were to follow. [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] would be good but only if you live in a place where it would be easily spelled/pronounced. I went to high school (in America) with an [name_u]Irish[/name_u] girl named [name_f]Caoimhe[/name_f] and her name made her miserable here. She complained about it all the time.
Here are some I’m not feeling for you. In reality these would all be fine (I find “matched” sibsets overrated), but if we’re looking to find the “perfect” name…
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] - a little old fashioned and simple in comparison
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] - too flashy and frilly in comparison
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] - too medieval and flashy in comparison
[name_u]Hazel[/name_u] - I find it too similar to [name_u]Raven[/name_u]
[name_f]Lilou[/name_f] - I find this name too immature to be worn by an adult (in a non-Francophone country)
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] - personally nms because I just think of the food, but also I think it stands out as trendy and up-and-coming in comparison
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] - great name but seems a little plain with this sibset
[name_f]Sylva[/name_f] - looks like a typo for [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]. [name_f]Silva[/name_f] maybe?
[name_u]Truly[/name_u] - don’t really see this as a name, especially with the popularity of the alcoholic beverage (which may or may not be a thing depending on where you’re located?)

Gosh you have a beautiful list 
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites for you are…
[name_u]Fern[/name_u] ~ she gorgeous such a lovely nature name that is outdoorsy, fun, understated and elegant. [name_u]Fern[/name_u] sounds beautiful with your sibling set a natural fit.
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] ~ I’m a lover of [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] she’s whimsical, ethereal, tailored and classic. I love the nickname [name_f]Immy[/name_f] and I think she works so well in that sibling set.
[name_f]Maple[/name_f] ~ outdoorsy, sweet, has gorgeous cottagecore imagery and adds this whimsical flair to the overall sibling set.
[name_f]Nola[/name_f] ~ I think she’s fun, quirky and bold. Feels stylistically so you and ever so cool.
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] ~ a lovely name that feels peaceful oozes tranquility and feels comforting. I also like how she’s another nature name matching well with [name_u]Raven[/name_u] but has similar energy to [name_m]Benton[/name_m] & [name_f]Arwen[/name_f].
[name_f]My[/name_f] least favourite options are…
[name_f]Carys[/name_f] ~ gosh can’t believe I’m doing this to my beloved [name_f]Carys[/name_f] but the name rhymes with your surname.
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] ~ she’s gorgeous but I think unless you have clear [name_u]Irish[/name_u] roots I wouldn’t use this name as she has very strong history and meaning
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] ~ this name has just never appealed to me
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps

If last child, I would be tempted to go with [name_u]Fern[/name_u], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] or [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] (or else something like Elowen) so all have “n” ending to name. The first three are all two syllable “n” ending names (so even [name_u]Fern[/name_u] etc doesn’t align with pattern strictly but it’s close). On other hand, you might want to completely mix it up with something unexpected!

[name_f]My[/name_f] top 6 are [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_u]Fern[/name_u], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_u]Hazel[/name_u], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
Bottom 3 are [name_f]Lilou[/name_f] (very not my style), [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] (I’m pretty sure I’ve got the pronunciation down but it still feels like I don’t quite have it, I’m not sure why I can’t get my head around it, maybe it just doesn’t feel intuitive for me?), [name_u]Truly[/name_u] (I’m not a big fan of word names as firsts but I do like this as a middle name)

Carys : [name_u]Love[/name_u] it. [name_u]Perfect[/name_u] with siblings, but too rhymey with last name.
Clara : [name_u]Love[/name_u] it. Not as distinct as siblings, but just gorgeous.
Dorothea : I love [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], but find [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] just a tad overdone.
Fern : I adore this name! Wish it got more love in the real world. Not sure it flows with the siblings.
Flora : Not my style, but I also have never met one in real life. I feel like I could be swayed if I knew one. Not sure it fits subset.
Guinevere : [name_f]Gorgeous[/name_f].
Hazel : This has been growing on me a lot lately. Very cool.
Helena : Not my style. Feels pretentious next to the more fun names of the siblings.
Imogen : I’m starting to like this quite a bit. Clashes with the girl names though.
Lilou: I know it’s a real name with a real history, but it just sounds made up to me.
Magdalen : I love this so much! I do think the old-fashioned ness clashes with your others though.
Maple : This has been really growing on me over the last year. I don’t want to like it but somehow it keeps showing up and making me like it against my will! It is not my style at all and I still adore it.
Naomi : [name_f]Gorgeous[/name_f]. Such a beautiful name.
Nola : Seems out of place with the others.
Olive : I greatly dislike this name. I’ve never seen the appeal at all. It also doesn’t seem to fit the siblings.
Rose : Sweet and beautiful. Great with [name_m]Benton[/name_m] and [name_f]Arwen[/name_f]. But [name_u]Raven[/name_u] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] seem so matchy.
Ruby : So sweet and pretty. But there are better names on this list.
Saoirse: Not for me, and doesn’t match the sibs.
Sylva : Not for me at all.
Temperance : This is another that has that cool old-fashioned beauty that doesn’t quite work with the other names.
Truly : [name_m]Eh[/name_m]. I don’t dislike it, but it’s never done anything for me.
