I would get rid of:
Adelia - sounds like a mix of Odelia and Adela, both of which are much nicer
Alyce - Alice and Alys are so much better
Ameline - Emmeline is nicer
Anneliese
Ariel - little mermaid. Arielle or Ariella are much prettier!
Arista - “a wrist” or “arrest her”
Astoria - feels like it is used just for the nickname Story…
Astrilde - Astrid and Mathilde are gorgeous, this feels like a bad compromise
Breanne
Brindle - what?! Like the dog fur pattern?!
Calista - “make a list”
Cecette - I love names ending in ette, but this just doesn’t work…
Delphinium - too much!
Edana
Edessa
Emerald - too much
Emmalyn - Emmeline is so much better
Historia - I love history, but it doesn’t work as a name
Hyacinth - too much
Ilaria - Hillary is better
Ileana
Imelda “meld”
Iphigenia - sounds like a disease
Iridessa - iridescent is a pretty word with a pretty meaning, but it doesn’t work as a name,
Isannah - Susannah is much nicer. Or Isabel.
Jacquetta - sounds like “Jacket”
Jewel - too much
Lucelia - I love Lucy and its long forms, but this is trying too hard. Lucilia is better.
Melisanda
Melora - Meliora is better
Morwenna - idk I just don’t like the sound
Nymeria - disease
Pandora - pretty name, pretty meaning, bad association
Romilda - very clunky. Romilly is nicer.
Saedra - Phaedra is nicer.
Shasta - pretty flower but sounds like pasta
Shayna - lovely meaning but on paper it looks made up
Vada - Nevada
Vidia - video
Yvaine - “vain”. Yvonne is better.
Zahara - Sahara desert. But I love Zara!
