Clara - In our country is a classic name. So it's not my style. But why not if you like this name?!
Ivy - Not my style. I more prefer Iva. It means "yew".
Veronika - PRetty and classic name in my country. I like it. I like nickname Ronja or Roni
Rosa - For this name is much better it has second or first name.
Lucia, Victoria - I like it
Tessa - I don't like it. I more prefer Terra.
Violeta - It bothers me the -a in the end
Daniela - It's too masculine. Sorry.
Lia (mn only) - It same thing like a Rosa.(Sorry, my English is bad)

Clara - I love Clara, it's a classic, yet feels modern compared to its sister name Claire/ClareIvy - another name I love, I suspect it's going to be the new VioletVeronica - I'm not keen on it, it just sounds dated to meRosa - love it, but prefer RoseVictoria - I love most of the classics, but not this one, I don't know why but I have just never been able to warm to itTessa - great name, but I prefer TessLucia - it's gorgeous, but as someone with an Hispanic background, I hear it constantly, so I've long been bored of itVioleta - love it, and am starting to prefer it to VioletDaniela - another name I cannot warm toLia (mn only) - fine as a mn

Clara, Ivy, Veronica, Rosa, Victoria, and Tessa are stunning. It seems like you don't hear much out of those names these days. They should be more popular since they're so lovely in a classy way.The other names are too frilly for my tastes. The first six names you listed name close to crossing the frilly line but just missed it. I prefer Lucy, Violet, and Danielle, though Violet is the only name I really love. Lia would be a cute mn. It's better than the similar-sounding Lee, at any rate.

Clara- Eh, it's okay. I'm meeting way too many little Claire's and Clara's these days, so I feel like it's sneaking up on the charts (I haven't actually checked, but it's the impression I get.)
Ivy- I think it's kind of a statement name, in that it's just unusual enough to garner attention. I like it to an extent, but I think there are much better nature names/floral names/botanical names for girls.
Veronica- I've never liked this. It sounds harsh and snobby.
Rosa- I love almost all Rose names- except this one. There's nothing wrong with it, I just prefer Rose or Rosalie or Rosemary or Rosalind over Rosa. The only one I like less is Rosamund.
Victoria- I've added this to my list a few months ago. It's pretty, elegant, classic. The only problem is the inevitable shortening to Vicky or Tori.
Tessa- I like it, but I do prefer Tess. Tessa is a bit too wishy-washy for me.
Lucia- Depends on pronunciation. I like "LOO-shah."
Violeta- I'd spell it Violetta, and I like it a lot. It's frilly, but that's what appeals about it.
Daniela- My own name is Danielle. I like Daniella better than Danielle, but neither of them would make my list.
Lia (mn only)- I'm not too fond of this spelling. I like Leah and particularly Lea more.

Clara - Not my style, but I could appreciate it on someone else's kid
Ivy - I'm torn on this one. I like the simplicity of the three letters and the simple sounds. It's sweet and nature-y, which I also like. But it also feels a bit cheesy somehow. I don't know.
Veronica - Meh. Nothing about it really appeals to me.
Rosa - I don't like any Ros- names at all
Victoria - uninteresting
Tessa - love this one. Simple and spunky and straightforward
Lucia - not bad. But Lucy is so common
Violeta - VYE-oh-let-ah or VEE-oh-let-ah?
Daniela - it looks so nice with only one L. And I love Dani as a nickname.
Lia - fine, just fine.

Clara - I want to like this name I really do, but I know a horrible person named this. She's really nasty so I just can't get past that associationIvy - Love it, it's classy, sweet and not very commonVeronica - I like Veronica it's classy and a bit retro. I like Ronnie as a nickname tooRosa - prettier than Rose and more interestingVictoria - classic beautyTessa - I dslike it, I don't know whyLucia - I like it though I think I prefer the simplicity of Lucie / LucyVioleta - I prefer the simplier VioletDaniela - pretty just not my styleLia - I prefer Leah

Clara - quite nice; prefer Clare and would use it
Ivy - such an annoying plant, and I dislike names starting with I or Me.
Veronica - too long, and the nns aren't great. A good mn.
Rosa - Rosamond, yes. Rosemary, yeah, OK. Rosa, no (and Rose, no).
Victoria - a very definite yes! Not Tori, though - just Vickie.
Tessa - yes, please! I'd use it any time.
Lucia - no, but just because it doesn't fit with my language etc. I'd use Lucy any time.
Violeta - too simpering-heroine 19th-century sentimental.
Daniela - I like Daniel too much for a boy to even consider a female version
Lia (mn only) - either Leah or Julia would be better, but still not good enough to use

Clara - it's nice enough, but I prefer Claire. I see Clara becoming the next Lily.
Ivy - I've never liked it. I think Iris is a nicer "i" plant name.
Veronica - It's kind of harsh, but not so bad.
Rosa - Hmm... I don't really care for Rose names except for Rosalind.
Victoria - I've never liked this either. It's too... in your face.
Tessa - I like this but never know what it's short for (if Teresa, I really hate it)
Lucia - This is nice. I also like Lucinda.
Violeta - I prefer plain old Violet.
Daniela - it's better than Danielle but I'm not in love.
Lia (mn only) - It's a pretty sound.

Clara - Love it, gorgeous and so classy
Ivy - A bit frumpy for me and still dated
Veronica - Also dated and a bit clunky, also I don't think it has good nicknames.
Rosa - Pretty. I like it as a nickname.
Victoria - Nice enough, but pretty ordinary
Tessa - Gorgeous, love it!
Lucia - Okay, but the fact that it has two common pronunciations would put me off using it.
Violeta - Too frilly, although Violet is nice.
Daniela - Fine, but not very exciting
Lia (mn only) - A bit short as a stand alone name

Clara - 7.5, I like this name, I find it elegant and vintage yet pretty and usable also. The only thing that bothers me in the dual pronunciation - CLAR-uh or CLAIR-uh. (For me it's CLAR-uh.)Ivy - 7, I like this also, the v is edgy and gives it some spunk, while the name as a whole also retains it's elegance for being a nature name.Veronica - 6, don't like Veronica as much, I find it too fussy but at the same time it has an alright sound, also I'm not a fan of the possible nicknames, I slightly prefer Vanessa.Rosa - 7, the "a" on the end of this seems unnecessary unless you're Spanish. IMO Rose is much nicer, and in fact my favourite name.Victoria - 7, this has really grown on me lately, I still wouldn't use it but I don't see anything against it.Tessa - 7, in theory I should like this name because it ticks a lot of my boxes; uncommon, two syllables, ends with "ah". But this seems more like a babble, a sound, than an actual name.Lucia - 9.5, the only reason I haven't given this a 10 is people's tendancy to hesitate over pronunciation, is it loo-SEE-ah or loo-SHA? (Personally, it's loo-SEE-ah, and I love Lucia so much that it's on my PNL).Violeta - 4, no, not a fan. In Spain? Sure. UK or US? Maybe not. Keep it simple, Violet isn't great but it's still sweet.Daniela - 4, again, why overcomplicate things? The single L only works if you're in a Spanish speaking country. I don't like Daniella or Danielle really, but in like case, two Ls are better than one.Lia (mn only) - what's wrong with Leah? Leah is like the prettier big sister that Lia and Lea are jealous of because they have no chance of competing but just keep trying anyway.
