I like your list. Elliot is a little too boy for me, but it might be because of personal family reasons. I wouldn't pick that one. Some are a little too popular or too "boring" for me, though fine name, NMS. My favorites are:

Avery
Savannah
Scarlet
Hadley
Brynn
Kinley
Kinsley
Makenna
Sienna
Cambrie 

These are the names that most people won't like here and that's ok, we all have our preferences, but they are my favorites. Good luck to you!!!

Most of your names are NMS, but I do like Sienna, Violet, and Paige.

For me, the absolute worst ones are Cambrie, Kinsley, Kinley, Elliot, Makenna, Mackenzie, and Makayla.

Olivia 
Emily 
Abigail 
Madison 

the above 4 are way too popular and growing up with the #4 birth name the year I was born was no fun. 

Avery  to me this is still a boy name

Kayleigh doesn't sound right on an adult (but then again I thought my name sounded kiddish when I was younger)

Savannah like

Taylor very 90s
Makayla NMS
Kylie thoughts same as Kayleigh
Sydney ok
Mackenzie NMS
Stella  ok
Morgan ok
Scarlet like
Brooke very 90s
Bailey dog name to me
Violet too trendy
Paige NMS
Hayley I like Hallie better
Summer NMS
Hadley like, would have put it on our list, but goes bad with LS
Brynn LLLOOOVVVEEE
Kinley ok
Kinsley much better!!!
Makenna NMS
Sienna NMS
Cambrie  NMS
Elliot boy name

I'm partial because DD's name is Avery and I'm pretty sure this baby will be Brynn.  I do like a lot of your other choices too. I know Morgan is not very well received on this board, but I also love that.

I think several PPs covered my thoughts.

One thing to add about 20 years ago I knew a girl named Elliette... Haven't seen that since. Might be an option if you like it. Or maybe take out an L and do Eliette. But please, please do not use the boy spelling. Your child does not deserve that! P.S. I work with a girl named Michael and I see all the problems it causes her... It's not fun.
