Which of my new discoveries should I add to my list?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all, I came across an old name book of mine, and plowed through it to see if I found any new names I liked. And my goodness, did I! I found quite a few I was intrigued by, so luckily I have a good number of free spots on my list from axing a few I was bored with. I’ll probably add around ten from the list below. So what are your thoughts on this new possibilities to add to my list?

[name_f]Amarinda[/name_f] - long lived
[name_f]Amethyst[/name_f] - an anti-intoxicant
[name_f]Ardelia[/name_f] - zealous, ardent
Aricia (ah-ree-see-uh) - princess of the royal blood of Athens

[name_u]Rue[/name_u] - famous; aromatic plant once called herb-of-grace

name)
