My thoughts on yours:
[name_f]Acacia[/name_f] - I think this flower name is intriguing has an unusual style and feels really spunky. I like it.
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] - Such a vividly beautiful name with a real spark and fresh vibe. [name_f]Willow[/name_f] just feels enchanting. She’s lovely.
[name_u]Sage[/name_u] - I like [name_u]Sage[/name_u] it’s a wholesome name but in away I prefer [name_u]Sage[/name_u] for a boy.
[name_f]India[/name_f] - A vibrant, colourful place name conjuring up great images and sheer beauty. [name_f]India[/name_f] is a great but she does have issues.
[name_f]Liana[/name_f] - My sister loves [name_f]Liana[/name_f] for me this name is pretty she has a sing-song vibe and feels very sweet.
[name_f]Raine[/name_f] - I prefer just [name_u]Rain[/name_u] I think [name_u]Rain[/name_u] packs more of a punch. Still she has a haunting vibe which is intriguing.
[name_f]Talisa[/name_f] - Not my favourite from the list but still she has a nice sound.
Kalani - I think this name is pretty, she has an exotic vibe which is lovely, the name is sweet.
[name_f]Ilana[/name_f] - This name is fine but there is something ‘off’ with it. I’m just unsure.
[name_f]Ella[/name_f] - Despite her popularity she feels lovely and yes like a beautiful fairy. I honesty find [name_f]Ella[/name_f] very sweet and attractive.
[name_f]Talia[/name_f] - Not a favourite of mine but the name does have a nice sound.
[name_f]Elissa[/name_f] - She’s pretty has a very modern vibe which is intriguing!
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] - A lovely wholesome name, she feels really rural and inviting. I think [name_f]Flora[/name_f] has a lovely fresh sound. She’s just cute.
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] - This name feels very powerful, just like [name_u]Rain[/name_u] she packs a punch, mixed in with a touch of surrealism. [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is just cool and collective.
[name_u]Bay[/name_u] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] wholesome name but prefer for a boy.
[name_f]Oceana[/name_f] - She’s exotic, conjures up gorgeous imagery of the ocean but even though she’s delightful prefer as a middle name.
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] - [name_f]Every[/name_f] time I think of names with a cool nature slightly Spanish/Hispanic vibe I think of [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. She’s just sultry and cool.
[name_u]Ember[/name_u] - Unsure feels slightly cut off.
[name_f]Erela[/name_f] - Feels unappealing.
