Alma (1/10) - there's a sweet old lady named Alma who goes to my parents' church, but the keyword here is "old". lol It's too old-fashioned for me.
Ludmilla (5/10) - I like it, but not enough to use. I'd picture it more on like a Russian than an Italian, but that's just me.
Lisandra (see Lysandra) (9/10) - I have this name on my PNL, but it's the Lysandra spelling.
Gemma (10/10) - I love it, especially bc there's an adorable little girl in a YouTube family I watch named Gemma!
Tecla (7/10) - it's nice, and I like the saint association
Lucilla (8/10) - it's very cute, but I prefer Lucille, and in the middle
Selene (10/10) - Gomez. Great singer!
Tessa (2/10) - she just sounds like a prissy, bubblegum-popping, boyfriend-stealing high-school cheerleader
Iole (1/10) - not my style at all, sorry!
Perla (1/10) - ditto Iole
Nives (7/10) - love the meaning, but I prefer the Spanish Nieves
Amaranta (7/10) - love the name, not the spelling; Amarantha is preferable here
Cassandra (10/10) - another favorite!
Elettra (1/10) - sounds more like a stage name
Fedra (see Phaedra) (3/10) - I like this name, but Phoebe (similar meaning) is miles better and way more familiar
Diletta (1/10) - reminds me of the word "dilate" and a seizure medication called Dilantin
Clizia (see Clytia) (1/10) - just not my style! I also don't like the Clyt prefix

Alma (7/10). I like it enough but would not use it. I have a great aunt named Alma Mary who went by Mickie. I think she changed her name legally to Velma.
Ludmilla (3/10) The "lewd" syllable at the beginning sours the name for me.
Lisandra (see Lysandra) (6/10) This is an interesting choice, and I'd admire it on a real person, but wouldn't use it.
Gemma (7/10) I think it's sweet, but it's a bit stale to me.
Tecla (8/10) It reminds me of Tesla, which is interesting, and I have never met one, yet it seems fresh and interesting.
Lucilla (6/10) I thought the Italianate was Lucile. I love the French form, Lucille.
Selene (8/10) I've always thought Selena and Celina were pretty; Selene is adequate.
Tessa (4/10) It seems diminutive and insubstantial.
Iole (7/10) Interesting and pretty to say.
Perla (8/10) Adorable.
Nives (3/10) I do not see the appeal.
Amaranta (3/10) Too heavy.
Cassandra (6/10) Pretty but a little stale.
Elettra (5/10) Pretty but a little ostentatious for me.
Fedra (see Phaedra) (5/10) I prefer Phaedra, but even Phaedra is still only a 6/10.
Diletta (2/10) It reminds me of dilation and dilution.
Clizia (see Clytia) (0/10). This is a "NO" in English for obvious reasons.
Iris (10/10) I love and would use Iris.
