All of your choices are very nice, classy, feminine but not fussy names, except for Brinley, which is very androgynous/trendy.
I'm assuming Brinley got lots of votes from people who like androgynous names on girls, but it really doesn't fit the rest of your style at all, so I would cut that one out first. Next to something traditional like Clara, Brinley sounds too cutesy, almost like a pet name.
Olivia is verging on overuse, so I would personally take that one out, too. You have more interesting/unexpected names on your list, imo.

Gemma, Cara, Carina, Willa and Clara is a great list--I like all of them! : )
good luck : )

I wish I could vote for more than one because I like several of the names on your list, especially Clara (gmv) and Gemma. Willa is also lovely. The only two I don't care for are Brinley and Cara.

My vote was for Brinley and I have a sweet little princess Brinley (Brinley means princess).

I know that there are sites that say Brinley means "princess", but the more common meaning is "burnt meadow," which makes sense since the "ley" ending usually references a meadow when you find it in an English name. It doesn't mean your Brinley isn't a princess, though!

I just had to go with Willa...it's got that blend of spunky, feminine, uncommon and historical that I find hard to resist.

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've never heard the name "Gemma" except on this board. Is it pronounced with a "g" like "giraffe" or a "g" like "gum". Thanks!

Gemma is like pronounced with a G as in Gemstone (so yes, like giraffe). I know many Gemmas - all are British - which is maybe why you haven't heard it? Maybe it's not popular in the US or your area.
