I love Adria, Celeste, Iris, and Mabel. Lola is cute as a nn, but I wouldn't use it by itself. Jenna, Zahra, Jamison, and Emerson are all right for other peoples' daughters.I think the reason most of these names weren't used is because many of them are misspelled or too unisex for the BtN crowd.

I can see why most of them weren't used (too 'out there', grossly misspelled, just unattractive in general), but the ones I do like are: Aminta - the 'mint' part bothers me a bit, but I like possible nn Minnie (though I prefer Araminta)
Amirah
Anais
Celeste
Georgetta - well, my mn is Georgette, so I'm partial ;b
Hana
Iris
Katia
Kaya
Kyla - somewhat trendy, but I probably only like it b/c it rhymes with Isla, lol
Lola
Lulu - as a nn
Mabel
Roxy - as a nn
Salome - nice name, but it makes me think too much of salami
Selah
Simone
Zahra
Zuleika

I just skimmed the list (it's so long!:p) but I think the reason they weren't used is because most of them are entirely too cutesy. I'm talking about Muffin, Cherish, Boo, Honeyblossom (though I do like Primrose as a MN), Noo, Missy, Trixibelle.
Also, there are a lot of misspelled versions of familiar names (Cathalene, Alyxandra, Annaliza, Cydney, etc.)
Then there are the "word" names that are no longer words due to horrendous butcherings of the English language (Whizdom, Reignbeau) along with actual word names wich are generally not popular on the boards (Camera, Dandelion, Pepper, Jazz, Carnie).
There are a bunch of trendy names (Savannah, Kyla, Jordan) and place names, (Sistine, Persia).

I only think Lily and Savannah are nice.

I played your congrats game and why I didn't use those names were because I didn't like them, they were too out there or I liked other names more and therefore chosed them instead. And some names I prefer on a boy and I can't see them on a girl (such as Tyson, Skylar, Michael, Baylee, Messiah)I like Anais, Jenna, Kyla, Messiah (on a boy), Raven, Ripley (on a boy), Sailor (on a boy), Savannah, Selah, Tyson (on a boy) and Simone!
