I'm sorry, but most (not all) of these names dropped because either they're nicknames, variant spellings, or because... they're just not that nice to the modern ear. I think a lot of these are, frankly, not naming names, pretty horrible.

That said, I don't mind:

Albertina
Albertine
Bina
Easter
Lera
Leta / Lita
Ola
Olinda
Parthenia
Sina
Trinidad
Zana
Zelpha
