Girls:
Allis - I like Alis but Allis seems too... surnamey?
Amber - Growing on me
Annie - Cute (nn only)
Ansley - Prefer Ainsley, or Ansel for a boy
Bella - Meh
Betty - Nope
Cassy - Okay but prefer Cassie (nn only)
Connie - Good, prefer as a nn
Clair- Looks good on its own, but then when you contrast it with Claire it looks too short/cut off. Clair seems more unisex (and also Clare).
Darby - Nope
Darsy - This spelling makes me want to say Dar-zee
Ellie - Fine but boring
Faith - Okay, really depends on the combo
Esther - I like this, but at 10 I would have dismissed it as an old person name
Galle - I would never have guessed this was pronounced Gail haha. It looks like something between gall, gal, and galley. Gale is pretty good though.
Gracie - Nice, cute, nn only
Hannie - I liked this as a nn for Hannah when I was younger
Hailey - Boring but fine
Hope - Same
Hatty - Prefer Hattie. Hatty makes me think "crazy" because it associates with "mad hatter" and "batty".
Isabella - Pretty but a little boring
Jane - Technically boring too but I like it
Jannie - Again, I wouldn't have guessed this was supposed to be like Janie (jay-nee) and not Jannie/Janny (jan-ee like the Jan in January).

Keara was key-Air-ah
In that case I'd switch it to Kierra
Thank you for the detailed responses to my posts. You gave a lot of interesting feedback
I like Alice (that spelling), Anne but not Annie, Clare (that spelling), Jane, Joy, Karen, Lucy (that spelling), Mary, Rachel, Silvia (prefer Sylvia), Tessa, Vickie (that spelling, because of a friend), Brian, Cameron, John.My guess for Orile is Auriel. Windy should probably be Windy! There's a wonderful, cheerful, happy 60s song called Windy by a band called The Association; it must be all over YouTube, so give it a listen and see if it rings a bell.
The names I thought were cool back then were Snowbell, Allison, and Rainbow.
Because of Stuart Little Snowbell?
Well, no. I didn't see that movie till 15.
