[name_f]Ottoline[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_f]Yvette[/name_f]

Ones I’d definitely nix:

[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] - A little too boyish for me.
[name_u]Blaine[/name_u] - Ditto [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u].
Blush - Honestly, I hate this, I’m sorry. I saw a movie once with three stripper sisters named Blush, [name_f]Cinnamon[/name_f] and [name_f]Satin[/name_f], and all I can think is “stripper” now when I hear those mentioned as names.
Dandelion - There are nicer floral names.
Ellanoir - I get where you’re going, but it’s a bit much for my taste.
Elsyve - No one will ever pronounce this properly.
Hazyn - I dislike both the sound and the spelling.
Irelyn - If it was [name_f]Ireland[/name_f], I’d like it slightly more, but it seems overly trendy for me.
Kandee - This is another one that is a bit déclassé for me.
Nary - What?
[name_f]Orchid[/name_f] - I considered this myself once, but I got turned off by the fact that its literal meaning is “testicle.”
Scotlyn - See Irelyn.
Skylark - A little over the top for me.
Stevia - This is an artificial sweetener.

Good luck! You have some great ones on here! :slight_smile:

PART 1:

Wrote my comments for each name, phew. Sorry if some of the comments are short, I was getting tired and some names I didn’t have much to say about, just flat out don’t like them.
Favorites are bold and underlined! :smiley:

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] ~Honestly, not a huge fan of this name, but I guess it’s growing on me. I keep thinking of kool-aid when I read it though. That’s just me though.
[name_f]Adelle[/name_f]/Audelle ~I like that the spelling of [name_f]Adelle[/name_f] is different but that’s about it. Not a fan of Audelle though.
Allifair ~Seems more like a boys name to me because of it’s similarities to [name_m]Alastair[/name_m].
[name_f]Althea[/name_f] nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f] ~[name_f]Thea[/name_f] is a cute name, other than that
I’m not a fan.
[name_f]Alys[/name_f]/[name_f]Alyse[/name_f]/[name_f]Alice[/name_f] ~[name_f]Alice[/name_f] would be okay as a first name but if you wanna use [name_f]Alys[/name_f] or [name_f]Alyse[/name_f], I suggest going the middle name route.
[name_m]Ansel[/name_m] ~Seems more masculine to me.
[name_f]Antigone[/name_f] ~I may be the only one who supports this but I guess it’s a slight GP of mine, I’d never use it myself but
I do like it!!
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f] ~Not even 100% sure on the pronunciation

[name_f]Asia[/name_f] ~I like some place names, not this one though.
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] ~[name_u]Story[/name_u] is big and I don’t care for it, I feel like this is a good name where you could use [name_u]Story[/name_u] as a nn if you really liked [name_u]Story[/name_u]. Kind of a cute name though.
[name_u]Auden[/name_u] (a spin of [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] after [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] Hepburn, and my favorite season, [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]) ~Not a huge fan of this, however I’m favoriting it because I love you reasoning!! Names with meaning to you are the best!!
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] nn [name_u]Rory[/name_u] ~[name_f]Love[/name_f] this! Wanted to use it myself honestly but there are other names I like more at the moment, plus I’m having boys now anyway. Haha! It is adorable though and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] as a nn is just perfect.
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]/Bettrys nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f] ~Ahh, sigh. So nice to see [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] on here. I don’t really care for the name, but it is nice to see. [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is such a cute nn!
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] mn maybe? ~If you’re gonna use this, I definitely suggest it only as a mn. Not a fan.
[name_u]Blaine[/name_u] nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f] ~This is pretty cute, I feel like it’s slightly more masculine though, the nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f] gives it that feminine feel.
Blush (probably my favorite color name) ~This is actually kind of cute. If all other color names can be used, why not this one? Give it life!
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f] ~I never know how to pronounce this!!! This name frustrates me on so many levels. Definitely not a fan!!!
[name_u]Chelsea[/name_u] ~Pretty cute name. Definitely one of your better ones thus far. It’s on my list though I’m sure I’ll never use it.
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f] nn [name_f]Clover[/name_f] or [name_m]Clovis[/name_m] ~Uh, not sure how [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] turns to [name_f]Clover[/name_f]
I could see [name_f]Clover[/name_f]
[name_f]Clo[/name_f]
turning into [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] but I have a hard time seeing it the other way. I definitely suggest [name_f]Clover[/name_f] over [name_m]Clovis[/name_m] though and I do like [name_f]Clover[/name_f] and [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] individually.
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] ~Cute, I think it makes an adorable mn (for my style) but if you like it as a first, go for it! [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f]? :smiley:
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] nn [name_u]Cory[/name_u] or [name_f]Coco[/name_f] ~This is another one where I think the nn is a bit of a stretch but not a fan of any of this honestly.
[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] ~This is a little better, though I think of the masculine form [name_m]Cornelius[/name_m] almost immediately.
[name_u]Darby[/name_u] ~Eh
it’s okay. I think [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] is better though I don’t care for either.
Dandelion ~This is cute. No Dandy as a nn? xD hahaha!
Danieli (dan-yell-lee) ~Kind of ‘trendy’ (though I hate when people say that about a name, sigh) however, it’s a unique twist to [name_f]Danielle[/name_f] and if you prefer the unique names, more power to you!
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]/[name_f]Edythe[/name_f] ~Not a fan as a first name, okay middle name though!
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] ~
huh? Not even sure how to start to pronounce this haha sorry!
[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] ~Not really a fan of this, but it’s not the worst.
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] ~
This isn’t too bad I guess

Ellanoir ~Um, I like the [name_f]Ella[/name_f] part, I feel like noir ruins it though.
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] ~[name_f]Kinda[/name_f] cute. There’s better on here though.
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] nn [name_f]Elle[/name_f] or [name_u]Wren[/name_u] ~Not a fan of [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] exactly but I do like the nns you have for it. [name_u]Wren[/name_u] especially!
Elsinore ~Not sure how to pronounce this so, nope.
[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] ~Another that I’m unsure how to pronounce.
Elsyve (made this one up myself , pronounced, else-iv) ~I actually think pronouncing it [name_f]Else[/name_f]-eve would be better. I do like the spelling though. Seems like a name that would be around.
[name_f]Eluned[/name_f] ~Not sure how to pronounce but it just doesn’t look feminine at all.
[name_f]Emerald[/name_f] nn [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] ~Adorable!!! [name_f]Love[/name_f] it.
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] nn [name_f]Emma[/name_f] ~I don’t think [name_f]Emma[/name_f] would be a good nn for [name_f]Emily[/name_f]. I say use one or the other, and I’m biased but my vote is for [name_f]Emma[/name_f]!!!
[name_f]Endellion[/name_f] ~Seems a bit more masculine to me honestly but not too bad.
[name_f]Enid[/name_f] ~Would be an okay middle name I guess. I feel like it’s a bit outdated though.
[name_f]Ethel[/name_f] ~Another fairly outdated name. Better than [name_f]Enid[/name_f] though.
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] ~Kind of cute. I think I might like this over [name_f]Ella[/name_f].
[name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] ~Not sure how to pronounce.
[name_f]Eunice[/name_f] ~This one makes me feel like I’m saying something disgusting. [name_m]Just[/name_m] feels like a word for something gross. I don’t like it as a person’s name!
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f] nn [name_f]Fig[/name_f] (personal reason for the nn [name_f]Fig[/name_f], lol) ~[name_f]Love[/name_f] the name [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], I think [name_f]Fig[/name_f] would be a cute nn if you had a specific reason for it!
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] ~Kind of a pretty place name. Not the best but I do like it.
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] nn [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] ~
sigh. [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] is eh, okay. Not a fan of [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] for a girl though.
[name_f]Gilda[/name_f] ~I feel like this is something that would be the name of a television dinosaur or stuffed one. NOT SURE WHY HAHA.
[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] nn [name_f]Dolly[/name_f], [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], and/or [name_f]Wendy[/name_f] ~I really don’t like [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f], like at all. It’s nice to see different nns rather than [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] though.
[name_f]Hazyl[/name_f] nn [name_m]Haze[/name_m] ~Not a fan of [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] originally, and I definitely don’t care for this spelling. Plus, I think it’d be a baaad idea for a nn to be [name_m]Haze[/name_m]!
Hazyn nn [name_m]Haze[/name_m] ~This is even worse, sorry.
Hepburn ~I’m assuming this is because of your [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] Hepburn crush. I think this would be a cute mn but, I wouldn’t use it as a first.
[name_f]Hilde[/name_f] ~Not a fan of this. Too outdated for my taste.
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] nn [name_f]Indie[/name_f] or [name_u]Isa[/name_u] ~I don’t like this at all. [name_f]Indie[/name_f] is a cute nn but not for this name.
Irelyn ~I do like [name_f]Ireland[/name_f], but this is eh. [name_f]Ireland[/name_f] is way better sorry!
[name_u]Isa[/name_u] ~Makes me think of [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] which I don’t like.
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] nn [name_u]Isa[/name_u] ~And here it is
nope. Sorry.
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] ~This is alright. I’m not a big fan of I names really.
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]/[name_f]Isotta[/name_f] ~Nope, not a fan.
Izmir (it’s a city in Turkey) ~I would use this as a mn if Turkey is special to you in someway, otherwise I’d stay away.
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] nn Janebird (family name) ~Since it’s a family name, I recommend it as a middle name, though I do like it.
[name_f]Jolie[/name_f] ~This has been growing on me. [name_f]Kinda[/name_f] cute. Figured I haven’t favorited that many, so I did to this one.
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] nn [name_f]Juno[/name_f] ~[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] has been growing on me as a middle name. I do like [name_f]Juno[/name_f] on it’s own though!!
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] ~THERE WE GO! Yes. [name_f]Juno[/name_f], love it. [name_f]Antigone[/name_f] and [name_f]Juno[/name_f]? Swoon.
[name_f]Katy[/name_f]/[name_f]Kate[/name_f]/[name_f]Cate[/name_f] ~Not a fan, I’ve known too many, sorry.
Kandee (after my favorite makeup artist, Kandee [name_m]Johnson[/name_m]) ~I do like that your reasoning however, most people would judge you for this choice, so if you choose it, be prepared for that. Maybe as a middle?
[name_f]Kinsley[/name_f] ~This is actually pretty cute!
[name_f]Laguna[/name_f] ~[name_f]Laguna[/name_f] [name_m]Beach[/name_m]? No. Wouldn’t recommend it.
[name_m]Lennox[/name_m] ~I like this on a boy, not on a girl.
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] ~A fairly cute name, but I do like other L names more. (i.e. [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Leah[/name_f])
[name_f]Lilac[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lila[/name_f] ~This would be cute.
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]/[name_f]Lilly[/name_f] ~Not a fan of [name_f]Lily[/name_f], like at all. I prefer the flower names [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f].
[name_m]Llewellyn[/name_m] nn [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] ~Not 100% sure how to pronounce this, kinda like the nn [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] though.
[name_u]London[/name_u] ~Not one of the better place names.
[name_f]Lottie[/name_f] (family name) ~The longer version of [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] is usually [name_f]Letitia[/name_f], in case you didn’t know that. I suggest family names work better as middle names.
[name_f]Lotus[/name_f] ~Not a fan of this. There are better names.
[name_f]Lulu[/name_f] ~Ahh [name_f]Lulu[/name_f]. Adorable. While I think this is cute, I think it’s better to have a full name and use this as a nn.

PART 2: (silly nameberry limit)

[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] ~This isn’t too bad, though I can’t really picture a little [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f].
[name_f]Margo[/name_f] ~Definitely not my style.
[name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] ~Not really a fan of this honestly.
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] ~Nope, wouldn’t suggest it.

[name_f]Meryl[/name_f] ~This isn’t too bad but eh, not the best either.
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lily[/name_f]/[name_f]Lilli[/name_f] (can’t stand the nn [name_f]Milly[/name_f]) ~This is cute and I agree with the nn [name_f]Milly[/name_f], though I don’t like [name_f]Lily[/name_f] either!
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u] ~MY [name_m]FAVORITE[/name_m] NAME RIGHT NOW. My SO and I decided if our next child was a girl, this would be her name!!! [name_f]Love[/name_f] it!!! I can’t stress it enough!!!
[name_f]Molly[/name_f] ~Pretty cute, though I think it’s getting semi-popular. I’ve met a few little [name_f]Molly[/name_f]'s lately
then again, that may stop for a little with the drug. Who knows.
[name_f]Myfanwy[/name_f] ~My fanny? That’s seriously the first thing I thought of when I saw this.
Nary ~Not a fan. Not even sure how to say it or if it’s a name.
[name_u]Navy[/name_u] ~This is okay, but I can’t decide which gender I’d put it under so

[name_u]Nicola[/name_u]/[name_f]Nicole[/name_f] ~Not a huge fan of this. I only use [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] as a mn to honor her father, who I don’t care for now
so yeah.
[name_f]Noemi[/name_f] ~This is okay
not sure I like it though.
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] ~[name_f]Nora[/name_f] is sooo cute!!!
Novis ~Eh, I don’t recommend this.
[name_f]Odette[/name_f] ~This is actually my second favorite O name for girls, next to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] obviously. I’d use it as a middle name though.
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] ~[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is adorable!!! :slight_smile: [name_f]Love[/name_f] it.
[name_f]Opal[/name_f] ~I only like this as a mn honestly.
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] ~I guess this is okay

[name_f]Orchid[/name_f] ~I would say this is okay but then I saw the other poster say it’s meaning!!! Yuck!!!
Othella ~Oh this is unique, I kinda like it.
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] ~I do like [name_f]Lottie[/name_f], not a fan of this full name though.
[name_f]Ottoline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] ~Again, I like [name_f]Lottie[/name_f], not a fan of the full name.
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f] nn [name_f]Plum[/name_f] ~I do not like this name or the nickname with it, leaves a bad taste in my mouth!

[name_f]Peony[/name_f] ~Another one that frustrates me with pronunciation!!!

[name_m]Pippin[/name_m] ~While I like [name_u]Piper[/name_u], not a fan of this!
Reisel/[name_f]Resel[/name_f] ~Like
an art easel? Sigh. No.
[name_f]Reverie[/name_f] ~I’ve seen another poster mention this name before. [name_m]HOW[/name_m] IS IT [name_m]EVEN[/name_m] PRONOUNCED!? I’m genuinely curious. Rev-er-e?
[name_m]Riordan[/name_m] nn [name_u]Rory[/name_u] ~I like [name_u]Rory[/name_u] but not [name_m]Riordan[/name_m]
RĂłisĂ­n/Rhosyn ~Not sure how to pronounce this.
[name_f]Scarlet[/name_f]/[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] ~I really
dislike
when people spell it with one T, looks so wrong to me, no clue why. I do love the name though.
Scotlyn ~Okay, this is a lot like Irelyn, however with that I prefer [name_f]Ireland[/name_f]. With this I think I do like Scotlyn better than [name_f]Scotland[/name_f]. It does sorta look like it’s spelled wrong though, so maybe try Scotlynn? [name_m]Just[/name_m] a suggestion. Either work.
[name_f]Shirley[/name_f] ~I just think of [name_u]Temple[/name_u] and I don’t care for it because of that honestly.
Skylark ~This seems like a way to make [name_u]Skyler[/name_u] masculine
sorry.
Stevia (my dad’s name is [name_m]Steven[/name_m], but I’m still not sure about this one, lol) ~Yeah I would suggest not using this for a girl, rather using [name_m]Steven[/name_m] as a middle name for a boy.
Surrey ~Seems masculine to me, not sure why.
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u] ~Another name that seems masculine.
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] ~This name seems really dark to me. I’ve never cared for it.
[name_f]Talitha[/name_f] ~Not sure what this is supposed to be so no.
[name_f]Thalassa[/name_f] ~Another one that’s a no, not sure how to pronounce that.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] ~[name_f]Thea[/name_f] is cute by itself!!!
[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] ~No
but might I suggest [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]?
[name_f]Thelma[/name_f] ~AND [name_f]LOUISE[/name_f]! Wow. Sorry, had to. Not a fan though.
Thistle ~Whistle Thistle. Not a fan.

[name_f]Whitley[/name_f] ~This is okay I guess, prefer [name_u]Whitney[/name_u].
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Willow[/name_f] ~NOPE. I’m not a big fan of W names, especially [name_f]Willow[/name_f]. The name irks me!!!
[name_f]Willamina[/name_f]/[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] nn [name_f]Willa[/name_f], and/or [name_f]Willow[/name_f] ~See above, no W or [name_f]Willow[/name_f]. [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] is a name I’ve never liked anyway!
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] nn [name_f]Willa[/name_f] ~No [name_f]Willow[/name_f].
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] ~This is the one W name you have that’s actually pretty okay. [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] is a cute nn.
[name_f]Winnie[/name_f] ~I like [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] as a nn but I don’t think it stands alone well.
[name_f]Winslet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] ~Oooo, I do like this!!! [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] is a cute nn for it. I think I like this better than [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] honestly.
[name_f]Yvette[/name_f] nn Yv/Ev ~This is alright. One of the only okay Y names really. I think I’m a little weird and like [name_f]Evette[/name_f] better
No clue why.

Sorry if I offended you in any of this, I tend to get weird as I get tired. Started strong though xD Almost gave up but wanted to finish for you.
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helped!
Best wishes.

PS, it seems like a lot of your names are movie and/or actress inspired. Haha, cute!

It’s nearly impossible to respond to this properly on a phone, so even tho most of my posts are positive, I’m just going to point out a few things I see as negatives. You have a ton of beautiful names! But


Stevia is a plant derived sweetener used as a sugar substitute. It’s pretty popular where I am, I wouldn’t use it for a name.

Spelling [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] with a y cheapens it for me, makes it look a inauthentic and a bit trashy. That said, I love the name [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] spelled this way. Not a fan if Hazyn either.

Why add an n to [name_u]McKinley[/name_u]? Adding letters to a known name does nothing to enhance the name. Not my favorite for a girl either way.

Finally, I see [name_f]Emily[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f] as different names, so I don’t get using one as a nn for the other. Same with [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_u]Wren[/name_u].

I only got thru the A’s with ones I love, but [name_f]Althea[/name_f] nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Araminta[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] nn [name_u]Rory[/name_u], and [name_u]Auden[/name_u] are keepers [name_f]IMO[/name_f]!

[name_f]Scarlet[/name_f]/[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]

Stevia is a bit awkward, so probably better as a middle if you really want to use it. [name_m]Steven[/name_m] comes from [name_m]Stephen[/name_m] so you could use [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] to honor your dad. I’m not a fan of place names, but those places are important to you, keep them. But I think I’d hate to be named after a city. I’d nix:
Too wordy (they are probably better for middles):
Blush
[name_f]Emerald[/name_f] nn [name_f]Emmy[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u] (and masculine sounding)
Skylark
[name_f]Laguna[/name_f]
Thistle
[name_f]Whimsy[/name_f]
[name_f]Whitley[/name_f]
Dandelion
[name_f]Lotus[/name_f]
[name_f]Orchid[/name_f] (both this and [name_f]Peony[/name_f] are beautiful flowers but feel awkward for names)
[name_f]Peony[/name_f]
Too related to famous people:
Hepburn
[name_f]Winslet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
Othella
Masculine sounding:
[name_u]Auden[/name_u]
[name_u]Blaine[/name_u] nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f]
[name_u]Darby[/name_u]
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u]

[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]

Novis
Trendy:
Kandee
[name_f]Kinsley[/name_f]
McKinnley
Hazyn nn [name_m]Haze[/name_m] (sounds like hazing)
Sound really old:
[name_f]Antigone[/name_f]

[name_f]Ethel[/name_f]

[name_f]Meryl[/name_f]
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lily[/name_f]/[name_f]Lilli[/name_f] (also sounds like Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, which is the major turn off for me)
[name_f]Thelma[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Yvette[/name_f] nn Yv/Ev
[name_m]Ansel[/name_m] (also feels really masculine)
I wouldn’t know how to pronounce these:
Allifair
Danieli (dan-yell-lee)
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]
Elsyve (made this one up myself , pronounced, else-iv)
[name_f]Eluned[/name_f]
[name_m]Llewellyn[/name_m] nn [name_f]Lulu[/name_f]
[name_f]Myfanwy[/name_f]
Reisel/[name_f]Resel[/name_f]
RĂłisĂ­n/Rhosyn

This is all my opinion and names that I can’t pronounce or I think is too old or wordy may not be the same for you. You have a lot of great options. I hope that helped and I wasn’t too harsh. Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!

I was going to put why I liked or didn’t like them for all of the names but It wouldn’t allow me to post so I have put the names into 2 lists name I love and name I like and I have put a * next to my absolute favourites.

[name_f]Emerald[/name_f] nn [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] -hmm, I could see it

Middle, but not really first:
Thistle - bramble? bristle? thorn? unpleasant
Elsyve - elusive?
Blush - naming someone after a type of makeup and the outward sign of embarrassment doesn’t seem like a wise idea.
[name_m]Ansel[/name_m] - traditionally a boys name (a la “[name_m]Hansel[/name_m] & [name_f]Gretel[/name_f]”), but it’s not terrible
McKinnley/[name_u]Monroe[/name_u] - very presidential.
Surrey - a surrey is a type of carriage
[name_f]Hazyl[/name_f] -I would much prefer it spelled correctly
[name_m]Lennox[/name_m] - very masculine
Izmir - I know it’s a city, that’s definitely the first connection, but it also sounds like “is smeared”, not the most pleasant. If you’ve been there and have a connection to the city I think as a mn it could work
[name_f]Peony[/name_f] - all I hear is “pee on me”
Allifair - interesting, not sure about it as a first though
Nary - lol, like “nary a one”, never heard it as a name
[name_u]Navy[/name_u] - I don’t mind it as a mn
[name_f]Whimsy[/name_f] - meh, as a mn it’s all right

Remove:
Scotlyn/Irelyn - please no. please.
Stevia - [name_u]Stevie[/name_u] is a cute nn, but Stevia is a sugar substitute
[name_f]Thalassa[/name_f] - raptor
Novis - like novice, a person inexperienced in a specific task. What about [name_f]Nova[/name_f]?
[name_f]Myfanwy[/name_f] - sorry, but my first thought was “my fanny”
Kandee - only thing worse than the name [name_f]Candy[/name_f] is [name_f]Candy[/name_f] spelled wrong
Hepburn - for a girl? as a first? just not pleasant at all.
[name_m]Pippin[/name_m] - cute nn for [name_u]Piper[/name_u], but I wouldn’t use it on it’s own for a person (great dog name though)
[name_f]Laguna[/name_f] - this is just a city to me, and not a very pleasant sounding word “lag” “gun” “goon”
Ellanoir - please don’t spell it like this, it’s very jokey

[name_f]Emily[/name_f] nn [name_f]Emma[/name_f]—I don’t know why [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_m]Stone[/name_m] (born [name_f]Emily[/name_f]) chose to go by [name_f]Emma[/name_f]. It’s not a nickname for [name_f]Emily[/name_f]—it’s an entirely separate name.

[name_f]Fiona[/name_f] nn [name_f]Fig[/name_f] (personal reason for the nn [name_f]Fig[/name_f], lol)—[name_f]Fiona[/name_f] is lovely but I think it would be borderline cruel to saddle your daughter with the nickname “[name_f]Fig[/name_f].”

No:

Allifair—not sure what’s going on here
[name_m]Ansel[/name_m]—this is a male name
[name_f]Antigone[/name_f]—too over the top literary
[name_f]Asia[/name_f]—sounds a little white-trashy
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f]—I guess it could work, but I’m from Oregon and to me it’s all the city, [name_f]Astoria[/name_f].
[name_u]Auden[/name_u] (a spin of [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] after [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] Hepburn, and my favorite season, [name_f]Autumn[/name_f])—Not attractive at all. You get the “odd” sound, and then a clunky “un.”
Blush (probably my favorite color name)—to me this has sexualized undertones and it’s just awkward
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]—It’s both taking the “old lady name” trend a little too far, and just isn’t the most attractive name. Sounds “blah.”
[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f]—Much prefer [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] is too much like [name_m]Cornelius[/name_m].
Dandelion—Please, if you want a cutesy flower name, go with [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. Dandelions are weeds!
Danieli (dan-yell-lee)—Sounds like a nickname for someone named [name_f]Danielle[/name_f].
Ellanoir—What’s going on here? A spin on [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]?
Elsinore—Ditto above.
[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]—It’s just too much.
Elsyve (made this one up myself , pronounced, else-iv)—Please don’t make up names. No one wants a made-up name.
[name_f]Eluned[/name_f]—Made this up too?
[name_f]Endellion[/name_f]—bizarre, sounds like a medical term
[name_f]Enid[/name_f]—Clunky and unattractive
[name_f]Ethel[/name_f]—I’m on the fence with putting this in the above category, but I still say no. It’s just not cute, or pretty, at all.
[name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]—I hate this name. It sounds exactly like “eulogy.”
[name_f]Eunice[/name_f]—Too far down the old lady path and not attractive. Sounds like eunuch (castrated male)
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]—I just think “[name_f]Flo[/name_f]” would be endlessly teased, especially come puberty time.
[name_f]Gilda[/name_f]—[name_f]Glenda[/name_f] would be better, but still just not really seeing it on a little girl or modern woman
Hazyn nn [name_m]Haze[/name_m]—please no.
Hepburn—I get that [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] was lovely. This is not.
[name_f]Hilde[/name_f]—ehh, too much. Maybe as a nn for something
Irelyn—sounds like you’re trying to say “[name_f]Ireland[/name_f].”
[name_u]Isa[/name_u]—prefer the full [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] you had
Izmir (it’s a city in Turkey)—does not have a nice sound
[name_f]Jolie[/name_f]—too [name_f]Angelina[/name_f]
Kandee (after my favorite makeup artist, Kandee [name_m]Johnson[/name_m])—[name_f]Candy[/name_f] is bad. Kandee is beyond bad.
[name_f]Laguna[/name_f]—beach? No
[name_m]Lennox[/name_m]—to me it’s the brand of glassware
[name_f]Lotus[/name_f]—too hippie
[name_f]Lulu[/name_f]—it’s a nickname that needs a real name
McKinnley—it’s [name_f]McKenzie[/name_f] that’s trying too hard to be different
[name_f]Meryl[/name_f]—all Streep to me. Not a bad association, but just too strong and I can’t see it on a baby girl
[name_f]Myfanwy[/name_f]—huh?!
Nary—Nary a chance that anyone will like having this name.
[name_u]Navy[/name_u]—color names are one thing, but this is all the military branch
Novis—could not possibly be any less feminine
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]—ehh, it just seems difficult to wear
[name_f]Orchid[/name_f]—ditto above
[name_f]Peony[/name_f]—Pee on who?
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]—I’ve heard this for boys, but even then it’s just too much
[name_u]Piper[/name_u]—I loathe this name and I’m not alone. [name_f]Do[/name_f] a search to find a recent thread on it
[name_m]Pippin[/name_m]—Completely unfeminine
Reisel/[name_f]Resel[/name_f]—I don’t know that this is a name but it sounds masculine
[name_f]Reverie[/name_f]—Okay I actually did used to really love this name. I thought of it in [name_m]French[/name_m] class back in high school. But I’ve later realized that it’s too much of a word, and actual [name_m]French[/name_m] people would find it ridiculous for someone to be named this.
[name_m]Riordan[/name_m] nn [name_u]Rory[/name_u]—I would like this on a boy.
Róisín/Rhosyn—is this a name? It sounds/looks a little too much like raisin
Scotlyn—made up. Smoosh. Not good.
[name_f]Shirley[/name_f]—It’s extremely dated and I don’t see it making a comeback ever
Skylark—sounds like a cheesy sci-fi character
Stevia —as others have said, this is an herbal sweetener.
Surrey—Like [name_f]Suri[/name_f] [name_f]Cruise[/name_f]? It was weird when they made it up, and it’s weirder to try to change the spelling.
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u]—Very masculine
[name_f]Thalassa[/name_f]—Never give a name with the word “ass” inside.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]—Go with the longer full name
[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f]—“ass” again
[name_f]Thelma[/name_f]—and [name_f]Louise[/name_f]. Too much.
Thistle—Like a thorny weed?? Sad!
[name_f]Whimsy[/name_f]—waaay over the top. To the point where it’s no longer whimsical.
[name_f]Whitley[/name_f]—sounds like a made-up form of [name_u]Whitney[/name_u].
[name_f]Winslet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]—it’s all [name_f]Kate[/name_f]. If you want [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], go with a real name like [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], etc.

I still say [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] would be the perfect name for you! But there are plenty of other great choices on your list, too.
