I like using family names too but I wouldnt use any name I didnt like.
Remember that when you have children you wont be the only person deciding on the names your partner might want some of his family names honoured too. :)
Personally I wouldnt worry about it there are only so many family names you can use unless you have twelve children or give each child seven names :)
You can use the opposite gender of a family name - example call a son Louis to honour Louise

Amina means truthful - look for other names with the same or similar meaning Alethia Verity or go for something similar in look say Amy or Mina
Marcia - look at its related names maybe you would like one of them Mark / Marc Marcus Marcela Marcie
Valerie - varients Valerian or look for names with a similar meaning
Joyce - Josse Jocosa or use part of the name Joy
Gladys -maybe use Claudia as Gladys has in the past been used as a welsh form of Claudia
Louise (my mother's mn) Louisa or maybe the male form Louis or Lewis
Odessa (my mother's mn) maybe a related name Ulyssa

As a middle name it would be okay to use Riles
