Aaralyn - N/A - looks made up and seems destined for spelling trouble. I vote no.
[name]Acadia[/name] - French; Idyllic place - Pretty enough. NMS, quite, but it’s fine. I vote sure.
[name]Adelaide[/name] - A very attractive sound. It is rising fast, and some here have worried about “laid” teasing…I still vote yes overall.
[name]Annika[/name] - [name]German[/name]; [name]Gracious[/name], merciful - a perfectly nice name that is a little dry for my style. Also maybe rising fast. Vote yes.
[name]Ariadne[/name] - Greek; Very holy - I love this name although I know many people find it clunky. I vote yes.
[name]Aura[/name] - Latin; Glowing light - pretty, but a little insubstantial and I’d worry about “oral.” I vote no, but yes to [name]Aurora[/name]/[name]Aurelia[/name], maybe.
[name]Avalon[/name] - Welsh; [name]Apple[/name] Island - pretty, but kind of a bit much? I guess I vote yes though.
Avelyn - N/A - just looks made up, I’d vote no. I do like [name]Aveline[/name] though.
[name]Beatrice[/name] - French; Bringer of joy - love it, wonderful, yes!
[name]Bonnie[/name] - English; Pretty - I see the appeal, but it’s kind of passe and not substantial. I vote no. Maybe as a nn for [name]Bronwyn[/name]?
[name]Bronwyn[/name] - Welsh; Fair, blessed - I do like this, but I know many people don’t like the Brawn association. I like the spelling [name]Bronwen[/name] better. I guess I vote yes.
[name]Charlotte[/name] - English; [name]Free[/name] - a very lovely classic. Yes.
Chevelle - N/A - nah. [name]Don[/name]'t know what this is.
[name]Chevonne[/name] - Phonetic spelling of [name]Siobhan[/name] - too made up. No.
[name]Claire[/name] - French; Illustrious - lovely classic, yes.
[name]Clara[/name] - Latin; Illustrious - lovely classic, yes.
[name]Colette[/name] - French; [name]Victory[/name] of the people - kind of fun and spunky! Yes.
[name]Cordelia[/name] - English; N/A - a bit of a mouthful, but ultimately worth it. I’ve seen definitions for it, btw. Yes.
[name]Dakota[/name] - Native American; The allies - seems passe to me, like it’s a 90s only name. No.
[name]Darcy[/name] - Irish; Dark one - pretty although a little too uni for my style. Yes overall though.
[name]Dasha[/name] - Russian; N/A - pretty, but, feels made up. There are also these racist/classic jokes about La-a/[name]Ladasha[/name] floating around. I vote no.
[name]Deja[/name] - American; Already - well, it’s from French, and I think it’s too weird to use it as a name. No.
Eilley - Irish; Beautiful bird - I love this name (I love another spelling and etymology). I’d be worried about spelling though and basically vote no. As a nickname for [name]Eileen[/name] though, lovely. What about [name]Isla[/name]?
[name]Eliana[/name] - Hebrew; The [name]Lord[/name] has responded - [name]Lovely[/name] and I vote yes, although it’s getting very trendy. I like the similar [name]Eliora[/name]/[name]Eleora[/name].
[name]Elise[/name] - Hebrew; My God is a vow - lovely and elegant, yes.
Ellora - [name]Indian[/name]; Clouds - yes, lovely, although the spelling [name]Elora[/name] seems similar.
[name]Elodie[/name] - French; Wealthy - gorgeous and classy, yes.
[name]Eowyn[/name] - N/A - appealing, but hard to know what to do with it. No.
[name]Evangeline[/name] - English; Messenger of good news - To me, too trendy and too much of a mouthful. Although my objections to it are more taste than anything else to be fair, I still say no.
[name]Fallon[/name] - Irish; Leader - I like the sound of this, but it makes me think of “fall on” and "failin’. I vote not.
[name]Farrah[/name] - English; Ironsmith / Arabic; Joyful - I like this name. Yes.
[name]Freya[/name] - Scandinavian; [name]Goddess[/name] of [name]Love[/name], fertility and beauty - fun and lovely. Yes.
G
[name]Hannah[/name] - Hebrew; [name]Grace[/name] - a classic. Kind of tired, but, yes.
[name]Haven[/name] - English; Safe place - too much meaning. No.
[name]Hazel[/name] - English; The hazel tree - fun vintage name, having a huge upswing. Not my exact style, but yes.
[name]Helena[/name] - Greek; [name]Light[/name] - [name]Adore[/name] this name. Yes.
[name]Isla[/name] - Scottish; Island - pretty if trendy name, use [name]Islay[/name]/Islie as a nn instead of Eilley. Spelling is a mild difficulty with this, but less so than Eilley. Yes.
[name]Jadis[/name] - N/A - I just think of Jaded. No.
[name]Kyrie[/name] - Greek; The [name]Lord[/name] - [name]Will[/name] you pronounce it [name]Keer[/name]-ee-ay? OK then, I guess, although the meaning is a lot. If this rhymes with [name]Kylie[/name], it’s too awkward and weird. No overall.
[name]Lacey[/name] - N/A - pretty and appealing, but I have a hard time seeing it on a grown woman. No overall.
[name]Lenore[/name] - French; [name]Light[/name] - conversely, I have a hard time seeing this on a young girl and so I vote no, although it is OK. [name]Leonora[/name] I find prettier, and [name]Leona[/name] could e a nn. I also like [name]Eleanor[/name] and [name]Eleanora[/name] and think you would too with all your [name]El[/name] names.
[name]Leona[/name] - Italian; [name]Lion[/name] - Quite like it, and also [name]Leonie[/name]. Yes.
[name]Lita[/name] - Spanish; [name]Manly[/name] - too lightweight. No. I find [name]Leda[/name] and [name]Leta[/name] OK, though, and they also have more appealing meanings (I don’t trust this meaning, btw, it must becoming from [name]Carlita[/name], as [name]Carl[/name] often is given as meaning manly. [name]Carlita[/name] I also don’t like, it’s meant as a nickname for [name]Carla[/name], which I like fine. So [name]Lita[/name] is a broken part of a nickname. [name]Carla[/name] nn [name]Carlita[/name]/lita would be OK.
[name]Lorretta[/name] - Italian; [name]Laurel[/name] - it just feels dated and tired to me, [name]Lauretta[/name] is somehow a little prettier. No overall.
[name]Lorraine[/name] - French; N/A - again, feels dated. Go with [name]Laura[/name] or [name]Laurel[/name].
[name]Lucille[/name] - French; [name]Light[/name] - I like [name]Lucy[/name] and other [name]Luc[/name]- names, but this is too [name]Lucille[/name] ball for me. No overall.
[name]Luella[/name] - N/A - although I usually don’t like the lightweight names, I have a soft spot for this one. Sure.
[name]Mischa[/name] - Russian; Who is like God - [name]Just[/name] feels like [name]Mischa[/name] [name]Barton[/name]. No.
[name]Mina[/name] - English; Strong willed warrior - Cute. Sure.
[name]Mira[/name] - Latin; Admirable - [name]Lovely[/name]. Yes.
[name]Nicolette[/name] - French; [name]Victory[/name] of the people - I like it although it does always make me think of Nicorette gum. [name]Colette[/name] is probably easier, but I still vote yes on this overall. I also like [name]Nicola[/name].
O
[name]Penelope[/name] - Greek; With a web over her face - lovely, yes.
Q
[name]Roxanne[/name] - English; [name]Dawn[/name] - too much of the Police song for me. But, yes to [name]Roxana[/name], that spelling.
[name]Ruby[/name] - English; [name]Red[/name] gemstone - cutesy, but a lovely vintage name. Yes.
[name]Sabella[/name] - American; Consecrated to God - Nah, it’s just [name]Isabella[/name] chopped up. Makes me think of Salmonella : (.
[name]Samara[/name] - Arabic; Result, Reward - - Pretty, I like it. Yes.
[name]Saoirse[/name] - Irish; [name]Freedom[/name] - lovely although a bear to spell. I vote yes IF you have other Gaelic names you’ll use for other children, otherwise she’ll feel left out.
[name]Scarlett[/name] - American; [name]Red[/name] - not quite my style, but a fine name, sure.
[name]Sinead[/name] (shin-aid) - Irish; God is gracious - too much [name]Sinead[/name] O’[name]Connor[/name], no.
[name]Siobhan[/name] (shiv-awn) - Irish; God is gracious - lovely, sure, again similar issues to [name]Saoirse[/name].
[name]Shiloh[/name] - Hebrew; His gift - too much [name]Jolie[/name]-[name]Pitt[/name] for me, no overall, although a very mild no.
[name]Soraya[/name] - Arabic; [name]Rich[/name], Also the name of a constellation - very pretty, sure.
[name]Tatum[/name] - English; [name]Cheerful[/name], full of joy - somehow, I have a very strong love-hate reation to this. More love though, so yes.
[name]Tempest[/name] - English; [name]Stormy[/name] - Naaah…too negative!
[name]Tierney[/name] - Phonetic spelling of Tigernach; Irish; [name]Lord[/name] - Kind of uni for my taste, but a fine name. Yes.
U
[name]Verity[/name] - Latin; [name]Truth[/name] - gorgeous. [name]Love[/name] love love it! Yes.
[name]Willow[/name] - English; From the willow grove - kind of trendy for my taste, but elegant and I think it stands on its own separate from the trend enough. Sure.
X
Y
[name]Zada[/name] - Persian; Offspring - pretty, but kind of hard to pull off? I feel like it would be misheard as [name]Jada[/name] a lot. Still I vote yes overall.
[name]Zoe[/name] - Greek; Life - trendy, but still great, I vote yes!
[name]Zora[/name] - Slavic; [name]Dawn[/name] - I like this, but I feel like it’s a little too weird? A weak no.
[name]Zahra[/name] - Arabic; Fair, bright - better than [name]Zora[/name], but I still just feel like it won’t get spelled right. If you’d go for [name]Zara[/name], I feel like that’d be the best compromise for like 3 of the names here.
Good luck!
I wouldn’t use it myself but I would be happy to meet a [name]Fallon[/name]
