I like:

Octavia
Olivia (if only it weren't so popular...)
Piper
Chloe
Adelaide
Ember (I also unabashedly like this)
Claire
Cadence (I like this one, too)
Charlotte
Willow
Alaina
Jade
Clara (one of my favorites)
&
Reid
Isaac

Rowen (though I prefer Rowan; I also think this is transferred use of a surname, rather than just a variant of Rowan)
Lucas
Noah
Leonidas & Leo
James
Rhett
Conrad
Maverick (I'd never use it, but I do like the sound)
Gabriel

I raise my eyebrow at:

---

Lilyauna (she's going to be correcting misspellings of her name her whole life)
Jaxxon (and I thought my cousin spelling her son's name Jaxson was bad...)
Kor-Dell (what was wrong with Cordell?)
Lemon (f)... especially with the nickname Lemmy, which makes me think of Lemmy Kilmister!
Aimsley (see Lilyauna)
Gatlin
Jayvian
Ezlin... Esslyn was odd enough the first time I heard it on Midsomer Murders (https://www.behindthename.com/bb/fact/4054116), but this is next-level.
Jennox
Carsyn (enough with the "let's switch this vowel out with a Y" already)
Marisabelle (overdone)
Jaylie (like, somebody in jail?)
Londyn (this is worse than Carsyn)
Delyza
Karsyn (f - oh for the...!)

As for Enneya, my first assumption was that it was an African name, possibly Igbo; this is because it reminded me of Nnenna. But the most similar Igbo name I could find was the masculine Enyinnaya.

I know a little girl named Lemon and her twin sister is Prinley. They are expecting another girl. I’m afraid to even know what they’re thinking.

There are plenty of others that are 'only' lnfns, or 'only' kre8iv spellings but don't actually set my teeth on edge.

People are still using Cadence? The way it's plummeting on the charts its days are numbered. That reminds me about making a list about "flash in the pan" names that I like though....

---

Emelia is interesting.

---

Conrad is kinda growing on me!

---

Love Leonidas, ugh

---

Delyza is fun, it's so witchy

---

Harvey and Hank make me smile, I like the idea of youngsters with those names

---

A Moira! I think Moira is my current fave

---

Also, so cool to see Octavia on the rise
