All of these are very common in my yeshivish circles. The rest are less common but they can all be used, it's not too out there.

They’re all acceptable. Emunah might raise an eyebrow in some yeshivish groups. Orly and Eliana are also not the most common.

Eliana is also pretty normal in Yeshivish circles in addition to the names the other posters said. And I know a normal, Yeshivish, FFB Nava, though I don't think it's as common

I have never ever heard of a child not being accepted because of an unusual name. Some of the names on your list or more common than others but not one would cause any issues.

Orly and Emunah are the least commonly used yeshivish of the list.

I've taught abt 200 girls, now they are around ages 10-18 yrs old. I made a y and a number for yes next to any students I know in that age range that have that name, and the number of girls I can think of quickly. Yeshivish american school.

I live in Lakewood and you have all of my daughters’ names on the list! Not the most common but definitely don’t raise any eyebrows and they’re not the only ones around.

Emuna in Lakewood? That’s the only one I think would raise eyebrows maybe.

No way, Aliza and Aviva are about as yeshivish as it gets.

Are you sure? I can’t believe you don’t know any Aliza’s. In Israel it’s more an old lady name like Geulah, associated with a generation that’s grandmother age, but in yeshivish Lakewood Aliza works. Naama and Nava can work too even though they’re not so common. The only one I don’t hear as we all mentioned already is Emunah.

Who cares? Name your kid what you like. None of these will raise eyebrows IMHO.
