Estella - my favorite from your list. Love the nickname Stella. Very cute.
Maura - nice. I like Moira a little better. Maeve is another name I like. Maude is kinda funky cool.
Rowan - Sorry, I don't like boys names for girls. Suggestions: Rowena, Rosamund, Roxanna.
Arden - Don't like surnames much. Suggestions: Ariadne/Ariadna, Arcadia, Ariana, Adele/Adela.

Good luck!

Rowan isn't strictly a boys' name, actually. At every naming source I've seen, it's listed as both masculine and feminine, and I also have a female cousin named Rowan.
