I really enjoy the names Pearl, Astra, Marilyn, Elle, Celeste, and Shelby.
Darya - it's nice, much better than Daria.
Acer - I don't like it. It looks like an incomplete word.
Scilla - I wouldn't know how to pronounce that. As someone said before, it looks like the name of a disease.
Shura - it's ok. It's like adding an -a to the word 'sure'.
Eiran - I like it for a fictional fantasy character. I'm not sure whether it would work on a real child, but I love the sound.
Eleni - I love it, it's very pretty. I prefer Elena, though.
Pearl - I don't like. It feels old and dated.
Celeste - it's alright. Not my favourite.
Harri - I don't like it as a full name. It looks like Harry misspelled. It would be ok as a nickname for Harriet or similar names.
Madeline - it's fine but too long for my taste.
Marilyn - I really like the name, but it's one of those that will always be tied to one famous bearer so I'm not sure it's usable anymore.
Astra - it's fine. I like the space association.
Muse - it's one of those names that in my opinion enforces something on a child, just like Messiah, Pricess or Legend. The sound is nice, though.
Shelby - not my taste. I don't like the sh- sound at the start.
Elle - I like it better than Ella. It looks more elegant and simple.
Alva - I don't like it at all. First, it reminds me of Thomas Alva Edison, which isn't necessarily a bad association but I just don't like associations with names in general. Second, since Alba is such a common name where I live, Alva just looks like a misspelling of that.
Darya- pretty, but not attention grabbing. Darya Anisa
Acer- not sure how it's pronounced, but it looks to me like something a lower-middle class white family would name their son alongside the middle name Blaze.
Scilla -I actually find it quite pretty. Scilla Daphne, Scilla Estelle, Scilla Delphine
Shura -for some reason giving wise old lady vibes? Shura Lupe, maybe?
Eiran -idk how to say it, but it looks okay. Eiran Sylvester, Eiran Caleb
Eleni -cute! Eleni Summer, Eleni Coral, Eleni April, Eleni Georgia, Eleni Yasmin, Eleni Winter, Eleni Cassia
Pearl -don't find it appealing at all. Pearl Diane, Pearl Delaney, Pearl Myra
Celeste -I only like the Italian pronunciation. Otherwise, it strikes me as harsh, abrupt and incomplete. Celeste Lunaria, Celeste Avani, Celeste Evangeline, Celeste Angelica, Celeste Annemarie. i think it's best as a middle name, though

Darya - prefer Daria
Acer - don't like dictionary names, even if it is a Latin dictionary
Scilla - fine as a nn for Priscilla, otherwise not
Shura - sounds like a trade name: With Shura insurance your home will be safe!
Eiran - looks Irish and fem, is Hebrew and male. Too complicated
Eleni - far prefer Helen or Eleanor
Pearl - not bad; I know a wonderful one, but I prefer Margaret
Celeste - over-optimistic; prefer Sally
Harri - would spend his or her life explaining why it wasn't either Harry or Harriet; not worth the effort
Madeline - pleasantly neat and tidy
Marilyn - dated; should always have been a one-owner name
Astra - all right, I suppose, for people who don't mind it being plural; better than Astrum
Muse - oh dear. Both a dictionary word and a very ambitious demigoddess
Shelby - Ish thish itsh Shelby date? All I can think of.
Elle - sisters Kaye and Emme?
Alva - like Eiran above: looks fem but isn't. Yet another lifetime of explanations, either way.
I like Eleni.Darya, Pearl & Astra are okay.
Darya - pretty but I prefer Daria.
Acer - cool name!
Scilla - kind of looks like a disease, sorry.
Shura - it's alright. "Sh" isn't my thing.
Eiran - I like this one! It's got all the sounds/letters I like in a boy name.
Eleni - not a fan. I prefer Elena.
Pearl - I've always thought this was one of the uglier gemstone names. It just has a gross sound to me.
Celeste - I LOVE this one!! So pretty and satisfying to say!!
Harri - better than Harry since it doesn't rhyme with "hairy".
Madeline - boring.
Marilyn - names ending with -lyn aren't my thing.
Astra - pretty, but I prefer the masculine version, Astro.
Muse - naming someone "muse" is just weird to me, sorry.
Shelby - a lot of irritating, ugly sounds put together into one name. I think it's too consonant-heavy.
Elle - simple and elegant! I'd probably prefer it as a nickname, though.
Alva - much better than Alma or Alba.
