The rule is you should try NOT to use a name from the top 10 list looking at the last five years. But it is a good idea to use a name from the Top 100 or possibly even the Top 1,000 Names.
Based on this I would go with:
Isabelle (Slight Variation from Isabella, but less popular, this way you will get to use a name you like, but most likely there won't be 3 other Isabelle's in your daughters class. There will probably be 2 Isabella's though)

Piper or Ava.....I like unique names that people won't say "Oh I have a niece, sister, friend, etc etc named that too." That bugs me lol! My daughter's name is Theadosia, and I haven't heard that once yet! My reasons for not likeing the other's, Reese seems too much like a boy's name and Isabella is on the top 100 names in the US and has been for like 30 years. Good Luck, and whatever you decide, it's your beautiful baby, so the name will be too!

Reese, isn't that a peanut butter cup? Piper? What kind of name is that?
Stick to the saint's names: Mary, Elizabeth, Anne, Margaret, Barbara, Rose.

I would say Ava would be my first choice, but Isabella is a great second choice.
