Munya and Annida stick out as new to me. Munya seems harmless/interesting; it initially vaguely reminded me of Musa, Vanya, Munira, Dunya, which are names I like. I feel like I'd prefer if Annida was Annie, Nida, or Neda, but probably Annida sounds better in some combos.I dislike Steve, Cameron, and Jaxon, but I'm used to them. Nicola is my favorite.

Annida is actually kind of pretty-sounding; I'd never heard it until just now. Out of this list, I enjoy the names Jack, Beth, Steve, and Christine.
Jaxon at 28 - named ahead of the curve
Sade - is this pronounced Shah-day / shar-day like it is in the US? It oddly seems better than it did when Sade (singer) was popular.
I like Nicola, Alex, and Jack
Annida = Anita I guess? I prefer the creative spelling, it's neat. But it still sounds like I need a
I've never seen Munya before but btn says it is feminine. Is Munya a guy? or is Christine? Or is there some kind of gender shenanigan
A British–Zimbabwean actor/comedian named Munyaradzi "Munya" Oliver Chawawa came up when I googled. It seems like it'd be Shona, a nickname?...mu* is a noun prefix in Shona; munhu means person.There's also a Rwandan pop musician named Munyanshoza Dieudonne (also written Dieudonne Munyanshoza, in English - I think Munyanshoza is his surname), so I guess that could be an association.

Sade was pronounced Shah-day! Jaxon chose his own name, so it makes sense to be ahead of the curve. Annida rhymed with Canada (if you can imagine an English person saying Canada), it surprised me since I’ve never heard it before. And Munya was the guy.

The names that stand out are Sade, Annida and Munya, don't like any of these
