[name_f]Elira[/name_f] - very pretty, makes me think of fairies, has the popular el- part.
[name_f]Alienor[/name_f] - I personally like it, but I think there would be a lot of trouble with pronunciation and spelling
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f] - pretty, but not my favorite
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] - I like this one, has a lot of nn’s, it’s a classic and transitions nicely into adulthood, but it might be a bit heavy on a 3-yr-old
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f] - not my favorite, and might become very popular soon due to [name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Harry[/name_m]'s girlfriend and all the speculation surrounding her
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - I’ve bever been a fan of this one
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] - interesting, ive never seen it before
Nimue - not my favorite
[name_f]Aliena[/name_f] - i like this one, would love to know how you pronounce it
Cerseis - not my style
[name_f]Noor[/name_f] - nope, not a fan
Elisot - no, looks like [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] to me
Illyria - very pretty, but i foresee spelling issues
Hespera - different but not bad
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f] - looks too much like a boys name to me
Ostara - this is different! I like it! [name_u]Unique[/name_u] but i could see it in a classroom.
[name_f]Elira[/name_f]- Pretty, but I prefer [name_f]Elora[/name_f].
[name_f]Alienor[/name_f]- Seems like a kree-8-tive spelling of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]…
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f]- I love this! [name_f]Elysia[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] is on my own list.
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]- Very classy and sophisticated. Not very unusual, actually, as much as uncommon. [name_f]Lovely[/name_f].
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]- Very pretty 
I am a big Hunger Games fan, so this is kind of HG-related to me, but still quite nice.
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]- I really like this one! It seems very ethereal and princessy.
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f]- I’m not a huge fan. Seems kind of glitzy and fake.
Nimue- Assuming this is NI-myoo, it’s very unique. I’ve never seen it before. Reminds me slightly of [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] (NEEV)
[name_f]Aliena[/name_f]- All I see is Alien, sorry.
Cerseis- SER-cis? SER-says? I kind of like how it looks, but pronunciation would be a nightmare.
[name_f]Noor[/name_f]- This is really pretty and reminds me of both [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] and [name_f]Nola[/name_f], two favorites. It’s very windblown and has a classic feel but is very exotic.
Elisot- I can’t tell if I like this or not. It sounds like a mishmash of [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliette[/name_f].
Illyria- Hm… I like [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] better. I hear ‘ILL’ very clearly and it sounds kind of like trendy [name_f]Eliana[/name_f].
Hespera- This is OK. I’ve never been a fan of Hesper but I like this a tad better.
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f]- I love a good Welsh name! [name_f]Anwen[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], and [name_f]Olwen[/name_f] are all favorites.
Ostara- This is very unique and pretty. Seems wise and knowledgable.
[name_u]Love[/name_u]: [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f], Illyria, Hespera, and [name_f]Olwen[/name_f]
Like: [name_f]Elira[/name_f], [name_f]Elysia[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], Nimue, [name_f]Noor[/name_f], and Ostara
Elisot is interesting, but I don’t know much about it so I don’t really have an opinion.
The Rest: I don’t dislike them, but they’re just “okay” for me.
[name_f]Elira[/name_f] - has an exotic sound but also sounds somewhat menacing (leer)
[name_f]Alienor[/name_f] - an old version of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. If it’s pronounced correctly it would be lovely.
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f] - pretty and otherworldly
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] - I love this name. I find it magical and medieval.
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f] - ok but it’s not my favourite Shakepearean name. It sounds a little prissy to me.
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - not a fave
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] - a rare name with a chic [name_m]French[/name_m] flair
Nimue - I love this name so it’s too bad that it would lots of spelling and pronunciation issues.
[name_f]Aliena[/name_f] - nothing special
Cerseis - looks like a mix of Briseis and [name_f]Circe[/name_f]. Too much like the word “circus”. Not a fan.
[name_f]Noor[/name_f] - one of my favourite Arabic names
Elisot - a strange blend of [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and [name_u]Eliot[/name_u]. Is the “t” silent or not, that is the question?
Illyria - I’m not a fan of names that begin with the word “ill”. Delirium comes to mind.
Hespera - exotic and magical
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f] - one of my favourite Welsh names
Ostara - see Hespera
[name_f]Elira[/name_f] - [name_f]Kinda[/name_f] nice. Seems a bit made-up.
[name_f]Alienor[/name_f] - Also kinda nice. [name_f]Azenor[/name_f] is my favorite of the [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] variations. I also like [name_f]Aliena[/name_f].
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]. Gorgeous sound and imagery.
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] - Simultaneously cute, strong, fun and straitlaced. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it.
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f] - Really like it. Not the best namesake ever, but a really cool name regardless.
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - Eh. NMS. A bit too cutesy for me. I like to see it on others, though.
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] - I prefer just plain [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] on a boy, but [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] is ok, too.
Nimue - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it. So pretty and unusual.
[name_f]Aliena[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this one, too! I know it has “alien” in it, but it’s just so pretty and [name_f]Celia[/name_f] from As You Like It is a fantastic character (who doesn’t love loyalty, kindness, and passing the Bechdel Test?)
Cerseis - Is this a mix of Cersei and Briseis/Chryseis? It’s intriguing, but I don’t think it quite works. It’s kind of a tongue twister and makes me think of caesarean sections.
[name_f]Noor[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this one. It’s so serene and wise-feeling.
Elisot - I can’t quite get on board with the “sot” part.
Illyria - I adore Illyria–it’s a gorgeous sound despite the “ill” beginning, and I love Twelfth [name_m]Night[/name_m].
Hespera - Eh. NMS. I feel like H as a first initial makes everything look frumpier, in most cases.
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f] - I like the vibe, but not the sound.
Ostara - Pretty. O-names are awesome.
I only like [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], especially with nickname [name_f]Essie[/name_f].
Like: [name_f]Elira[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], [name_f]Noor[/name_f], [name_f]Olwen[/name_f].
The rest is just, meh or not usable for my taste.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_f]Elira[/name_f], [name_f]Elysia[/name_f], and Hespera.
[name_f]Elira[/name_f]- I haven’t heard this before, but it’s very pretty! I would pronounce it el-ee-rah.
[name_f]Alienor[/name_f]- I prefer [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and its variants but it’s a nice name. I would pronounce it ay-lee-en-oor.
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f]- This is one of my two guilty pleasure names. I love the greek connection and the meaning. I would pronounce it el-ee-see-ah.
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]- Nice, but not my favorite [name_f]Ros[/name_f]- name. I would pronounce it rose-uh-mund.
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]- Pretty, but I can’t imagine it on a little girl. I would pronounce it cress-ee-dah.
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]- It’s ok, sort of pretty, but not my favorite. I would pronounce it aw-til-ee.
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f]- I like it alright, but I can’t see it as a first name for a person. It’s a nice middle name, though. I would pronounce it zeh-fir-een.
Nimue- I’m not very fond of it, and the sound isn’t nice to my ears. I would pronounce it nih-myoo.
[name_f]Aliena[/name_f]- I only see the word Alien in it, and I can’t figure how you would pronounce it. ay-lee-en-ah? ah-lee-ay-nah?
Cerseis- Is this a combination of Cersei and Briseis? I like it better in theory than in reality. I would pronounce it seer-sees.
[name_f]Noor[/name_f]- [name_f]Noor[/name_f] has been growing on me lately, but it’s not one of my favorites.
Elisot- I think this is a mashup of [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and [name_u]Eliot[/name_u]? I don’t like it very much. I would pronounce it el-ih-sot.
Illyria- I like Illyria, it reminds me of [name_f]Elysia[/name_f]. But I don’t like it as much. I would pronounce it ill-eer-ee-ah.
Hespera- Hespera is actually really pretty, like a mix between [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] and [name_f]Hera[/name_f]. I would pronounce it heh-spare-ah.
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f]- This reminds me of a fairy. It’s very light. I like it ok. I would pronounce it ohl-wen.
Ostara- Its pretty, but not my favorite. Still nice, though. I would pronounce it oh-stah-rah.
[name_f]Elira[/name_f]–Pretty, sort of like a name in a fantasy novel
[name_f]Alienor[/name_f]–All I see is “alien”
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f]–one of my favorites!
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]–lovely and classic
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]–not my style, but it’s a nice name
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]–Very cool!
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f]–I’ve considered this name too, so I think it’s beautiful.
Nimue–pretty, but hard to figure out the pronunciation
[name_f]Aliena[/name_f]–again, “alien”
Cerseis–Reminds me of [name_f]Circe[/name_f] and Cersei, neither of which are likable characters…
[name_f]Noor[/name_f]–Sweet
Elisot–Sounds like a boy’s name.
Illyria–Another fave
Hespera–not a fan of names with “hesp”
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f]–love it!
Ostara–very interesting
I’m just going to list the ones I like:
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f] (Great meaning as well)
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] (but I prefer [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f])
[name_f]Elira[/name_f]
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f]
[name_f]Aliena[/name_f] (looks a bit like alien though)
[name_f]Noor[/name_f]
Illyria (I also like [name_f]Lyra[/name_f], and [name_f]Illiana[/name_f])
Hespera
Ostara
[name_f]Elira[/name_f] - is interesting. It sounds a bit too close to my love Illyria for me, or on the flip side feels like its missing something - maybe even a whole letter. I really like [name_f]Eliora[/name_f] or [name_f]Elvira[/name_f] which might explain that.
[name_f]Alienor[/name_f] - I find the spelling of this version difficult. I realize its an older and more archaic option but it feels very trendy. With [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]/[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] being well known versions I fear this variant might be more trouble than it’s worth.
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f] - I love the otherworldly-ness of this. It brings about happy, flowery thoughts and feelings. Very peaceful. (I still prefer Illyria as it has less of a “land of the dead” connection).
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] - I love a lot of the [name_f]Ros[/name_f]- names but find this one difficult. Mostly because it’s two [name_m]German[/name_m] words coupled together [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] = pink and Mund=mouth. I quite literally cannot hear anything else. I really love [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] etc though so theoretically I’d say this is great.
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f] - I don’t usually love C/K girls names and this one feels a bit hissy on top of that. I think you have better in this list.
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - It’s a pretty name - pronounced correctly it’s very old fashioned and a bit clunky to say despite it’s femininity. I also like it’s Swedish variant [name_f]Ottilia[/name_f] - which I think is a bit more straightforward as far as pronunciation in various languages goes.
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] - This is a lovely name! Soft, a little frilly, a bit edgy and very underused. The Z makes her feel very modern, despite her long history, which is great!
Nimue - I want to love, I just don’t even know if I like this name. It feels incomplete somehow.
[name_f]Aliena[/name_f] - I have the same problem with [name_f]Aliena[/name_f] as I do with [name_f]Alienor[/name_f]. (See above).
Cerseis - nms.
[name_f]Noor[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Noor[/name_f]. I think it’s a beautiful and versatile Arabic name. I particularly like it as a mn “filler” as it gives me a similar feel to [name_f]Mae[/name_f] or something - it really can round something out or make a great connector and has a beautiful meaning to boot.
Elisot - I think it’s interesting. I just don’t love it.
Illyria - love, love, love.
Hespera - I prefer [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] and [name_f]Hestia[/name_f]. Hespera feels a little hissy to me in comparison. The other feel crisper more straight forward and yet equally mythical and magical to me.
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f] - Always strikes me as a bit more masculine than I would like it too. overall nms.
Ostara - Pretty, sms - be definitely feminine and I can see it’s clunky charm.
In my opinion, the best from your list are [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], and [name_f]Olwen[/name_f]–love those names! I also like [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] and [name_f]Noor[/name_f].
[name_f]Elira[/name_f] - I like it, but I prefer [name_f]Elena[/name_f] and [name_f]Elora[/name_f].
[name_f]Alienor[/name_f] - seems like a weird spelling of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f].
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f] - I like this.
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] - I’ve never really liked the the -mund sound in names, so I prefer [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] to [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f].
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Cressida[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f].
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] - I’ve never heard of Zephryine before and I like it well enough. I probably wouldn’t use it though.
Nimue - I love Nimue! One of the names on my favourites!
[name_f]Aliena[/name_f] - this is a [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] name, so I think that’s why I like it.
Cerseis - I prefer Cersei or [name_f]Circe[/name_f]
[name_f]Noor[/name_f] - I like this only as a middle name
Elisot - I’ve never heard of this and I actually really like it.
Illyria - One of the names on my list!
Hespera - Im not really a fan.
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f] - I kind of like it.
Ostara - I don’t know if I like this or not. I suppose it isn’t that bad.
I’ve gotta say, I enjoy almost all of these! I love unusual, but feminine names. I’ve bolded my faves.
[name_f]Elira[/name_f]- not sure how to pronounce this, but if it’s “Ee-lear-ah” then I like it! it’s almost melodic.
[name_f]Alienor[/name_f]- too close to [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] for my tastes, but still a nice name.
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f]- agree with previous poster, it’s pretty & other-worldly.
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]- I love any name with the possible nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]! and [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] is less common than [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f].
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]- Shakespearean love.
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]- don’t really like this because it reminds me of otter…
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f]- love!
Nimue- don’t know how to say this, so have no opinion…
[name_f]Aliena[/name_f]- it’s nice, but not amazing.
Cerseis- too many “s” sounds.
[name_f]Noor[/name_f]- I don’t personally like this one because it sounds too much like plain old “nor.” not special enough.
Elisot- if the t is silent like in [name_f]Margot[/name_f], I like!
Illyria- sounds like an illness to me.
Hespera- exotic & stong!
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f]- reminds me of [name_u]Owen[/name_u], which is a name I don’t like, so it’s not my taste. not bad, though.
Ostara- love! sounds like the name of an inter-galactic queen, but still not “alien.” reminds me of Inara from Firefly. <3
[name_u]Love[/name_u]…
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f]
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f]
[name_f]Noor[/name_f]
Hespera
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f]
Like…
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elira[/name_f]
[name_f]Alienor[/name_f]-[name_u]Love[/name_u], but [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation only; [name_u]Ali[/name_u]énor
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f]-reminds me of Gladiator. This is a good thing.
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]-queenly.
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]-maybe too wave-y for my taste.
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f]-another [name_m]French[/name_m] beauty that I love but don’t think would translate well.
Nimue
[name_f]Aliena[/name_f]
Cerseis
[name_f]Noor[/name_f]-the only [name_f]Noor[/name_f] that I know of is a [name_m]Harvard[/name_m] graduate, and an accomplished professor. Good connotations for me, at least.
Elisot
Illyria
Hespera-love it. Has a nice hissy snake quality.
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f]
Ostara-too…starry?
[name_f]Elira[/name_f] - not sure how you pronounce this…looks like [name_f]Ell[/name_f]-ee-ruh to me. I quite like the sound, but I don’t like how it looks written down
[name_f]Alienor[/name_f] - I’ve heard of this before, again I like the sound but I don’t like the ‘alien’ at the begining.
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f] - doesn’t seem unusual to me. Variation of [name_f]Alissia[/name_f]/[name_f]Alyssia[/name_f]/[name_f]Elissia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] - I like this, it’s classic but not overused. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] are lovely nicknames. I say it [name_f]Rose[/name_f]-uh-mund.
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f] - recently began to start liking this! Very nice especially if you like unusual names
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - keep coming across this and it’s growing on me. Is it pronounced [name_m]Ott[/name_m]-ill-ee? If so, then I love it
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] - I dont like this one, alot of Z names look forced and like they’re trying too hard to be unusual
Nimue - havent a clue how to say this. I don’t like how it looks either sorry.
[name_f]Aliena[/name_f] - same as [name_f]Alienor[/name_f] except I like this one slightly better because of the ‘nuh’ sound at the end instead of ‘nor’
Cerseis - dont know how to pronounce this but love the way it looks
[name_f]Noor[/name_f] - not a fan. it’s too simple and doesn’t look feminine at all.
Elisot - I like this. It makes me think of [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] and [name_f]Winslet[/name_f] put together
Illyria - pronounced Ill-eye-ree-uh? Not too sure. The spelling looks false. I prefer [name_f]Ilaria[/name_f] (Ill-are-ree-uh.)
Hespera - quite nice
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f] - looks too masculine for me. Prefer [name_f]Elowen[/name_f].
Ostara - I like this. I’d probably prefer it if it were [name_f]Astara[/name_f] though. The O looks too heavy.
So many beautiful names! I love Ostara (I like [name_f]Astara[/name_f] but this is far prettier), Hespera, Illyria, Cerseis, [name_f]Noor[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] and [name_f]Elira[/name_f]… they sound like mermaid goddesses or something. So gorgeous.
The rest I just don’t really care for… [name_f]Olwen[/name_f] is the only one I think is truly ugly, and I’ve never liked the look of [name_f]Alienor[/name_f]/[name_f]Aliena[/name_f]. Oh, and [name_f]Elysia[/name_f] is one I just out right dislike too.
I prefer a different variation:
[name_f]Elira[/name_f] - [name_f]Elora[/name_f]
[name_f]Alienor[/name_f] - [name_f]Elinor[/name_f]
Nimue - Although on prinicple, I should like this name, I just don’t. [name_f]Neomi[/name_f] or Nimae
[name_f]Aliena[/name_f] - alien & pronunciation just don’t work for me. [name_f]Elaina[/name_f]
Cerseis - Chryseis
Elisot - sot= habitually drunk= no thanks
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f] = [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
Really like or love:
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
