Interesting names!
1)
Nefeli - I love it and
Nephele as well. It has a soft, naturey vibe, and seems to fit with current trends in terms of sound. I'm surprised it's not more popular on BtN or in 'real' life.
2) Castalia - never heard this before, but I really like it. Castalia is pleasant to say and reminds me of another favorite, Vestalia.
3)
Kalliope - really pretty, prefer this spelling to
Calliope. Like the NN Kalli/Kallie.
4)
Andromeda - I used to like it a lot, but now I find it too sci-fi-ish and frilly. Like the NN Meda, which is growing popular in my country.
5)
Jocasta - the 'joke' sound is not my favorite, but I do like that it's mythological without being overly posh and frilly.
6)
Menodora - I really want to like this one, but it reminds me of 'menstruation' and related words. The Romanian form
Minodora is lovely, though.
7) Melanthe - the sound and meaning feel too melancholic. Cool name for a goth character, though.
8)
Hera - it's OK, but I prefer
Hero.
Hera is a margarine brand where I live, so that's my first association.
9)
Orinthia - not a fan, it feels artificial and too posh.
10)
Zenobia - I don't get the BtN hype. The sound is really unappealing to me. It reminds me of 'zombie'. I much prefer
Zinoviya.
