[Opinions] Re: 6 feminine names, opinions please!

I really like Angel, I know it's cheesy but all the girls named Angel I've met have been cool and it doesn't give me the too-sweet feeling that I think it has for most people.
Anita is nice, it reminds me of Antonia but with more... auntie vibes, I guess. But it's associated with too many "I need a" jokes (in an American accent).
Darla is very dated and sounds like a joke name. "Dar" sounds like a noise a bad comedian would make when describing how dumb somebody is, and Darla sounds like the name of a character who is meant to be dumb and a little old.
I love Lumi, it's short and cute but also mysterious and luminescent. It reminds me of fireflies and the moon (or anything that glows at night). But the structure of two syllables ending in "i" makes it very manageable for a kid (or a cat) in everyday life.
I would assume Mika is a boy at first glance, but I like it for a girl too. I'd wonder if it was a full name or short for Mikaela or something, but it's good either way. It doesn't stand out, it's just on the good side of average, but it's not too common and it also has that very wearable short/cute feeling.
I like Nova. It's recognizable but not too common. I like that the meaning "new" is obvious, but it also has an obvious astronomy association and comes with its own accidental space imagery. I thought it was popular a while ago and not so much anymore, but the chart says otherwise! I've never met a very young Nova, only a few slightly older than me, so I guess my impression is a bit older than the actual demographics.
