You have good taste in names. Not just because I'm Julia ... my three kids' names are on that list. We all have traditional names. My husband's is less common but still old-fashioned.
I have an Emma. Named to honor a family member and chosen way before it resurged as a popular name in the US. Unfortunately, by the time I used it (2002) it was becoming popular. We have not yet encountered a huge rash of Emmas, but it would not surprise me.
I recently had a boy and if he were a girl I was considering Molly and Amy. So I'd definitely vote for Molly or Emma. None of my boys have names on your boy list.
For guys, Andrew, Daniel, Connor and Sean are best. Only one I don't particularly like is Aiden.
For girls, Amanda is far and away the best, but Julia/Julie, Kaitlyn, Molly, and Elizabeth are all good choices. Isabella isn't that great, and I don't like Ava.
Amanda is my favorite girl name of all time. Known lots of Amanda's since I was 7, and they've all been very nice to me. Maybe I have good Amanda luck, or maybe most Amanda's have good heads on their shoulders. The letter A is a good letter too, and Amanda makes the most of that first letter of the alphabet. Always found that interesting.

My niece is an Amy and she is 35. It was very common back then (Carter's daughter probably had something to do with that) but has not been used much in recent years. It's a nice name.
Molly is pretty popular now. Who would have ever imagined an old-time name like that would enjoy a resurgence?

I recently met two high-school girls named Hattie and Jewel. Jewel was the name of my second-grade teacher, who probably was born around 1910 or so. I love how names come and go.
ETA: There's also Jewel, the singer, of course. But to me it will always be the name of sweet old elementary school teacher.
First off, if you like the name, go with it. Don't listen to all of the morons who think the names are too common. I honestly believe that the more "unique" a child's name, the lower IQ of the parents.
Just worry about loving your kid, not it's name. The fact is, kids are just kids and a name will not make them unique.
