Thoughts on my long list?

Girl Names
1

There’s no baby and won’t be for a while, but I’m still interested in opinions on my long list. Most of these may be a little unusual, but that’s my general style. I’ve cut out all the names that I like, but are unusable due to pronunciation issues or associations with people I know.

Adanna
[name]Adara[/name]
Aderyn
[name]Aeliana[/name]
My favourites are–
[name]Aveline[/name]- Ooh haven’t heard [name]Aveline[/name] before really. [name]Adeline[/name], [name]Ada[/name], [name]Ava[/name], [name]Evelyn[/name] but not [name]Aveline[/name]! I think she’s pretty…my only criticism is that she blurs in alongside all these other names a little
[name]Bryony[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]- Soft sounding, girlie but weighty
[name]Delphine[/name]- Elegant, streamlined
[name]Elspeth[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Finola[/name]
[name]Gwendolen[/name]- [name]Bryony[/name] and [name]Gwendolen[/name] are names made for partnership. Swoon
[name]Iris[/name]- Graceful and light name…but one which makes an impression. [name]Lovely[/name] choice
[name]Petra[/name]- [name]Petra[/name] and [name]Finola[/name] would make wonderful sisters
[name]Rowena[/name]
[name]Saskia[/name]
[name]Sylvie[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]- Beautiful, and underused
[name]Xanthe[/name]- Ditto. I never hear this one! Very nice choice

Ones I think you should ditch–
[name]Valeriana[/name]/[name]Valerie[/name]- The latter reminds me of celery…the former reminds me of frilly celery
[name]Zelda[/name]- I just think fortune teller
[name]Gillian[/name]- For this one, I think 50 year old secretary
[name]Bethan[/name]- You have a list of such beautiful names, and [name]Bethan[/name] just is not ever going to enchant (in my opinion)
