Cordelia is very pretty. I really like it. The nickname "Delia" is charming too.
I've never heard of Esperia before. I like it.
Finnick- Heyyyy, it's the Hunger Games! I must say, though, I don't particularly like the name.
Freya is also very pretty. I love it.
Hawthorne is nice, but I see it as more of a last name.
I like Leif. I thinks it's very cool. Very Scandanavian.
Lilliore- I've never heard this either. Is it for a boy or a girl?
Loyal- This is one of those word names that just shouldn't be a word name. It doesn't make sense.
Melusine is nice enough. I don't really like it.
Millisainte sounds like the name of a Spanish conquistador. I love it.
Odelia- Very pretty.
Promise & Remember I don't like. At all.

Cordelia - I don't mind Cordelia. There's something quirky about it, which I like. Corey and Delia are both fine nicknames. I'd say it should be a yes not a maybe.
Esperia - I keep hearing despair without the d. I don't like it.
Finnick - cool! I'm a fan on Finn and pretty much all it's longer names. Finnick is nerdy-awesome!
Freya - don't like it. Never understood it's appeal. Sometimes I don't love a name but can see what people see in it. Not Freya. It kind of drives me a bit crazy how many people around here like it.
Hawthorne - Great one! I've just never come up with a nickname for it that I love.
Leif - Very fun. I don't love one-syllable first names, but I'd totally consider it as a middle name
Lilliore - All the Ls and Is make me feel a bit cross-eyed. And I'm not enjoying the sound of it.
Loyal - nope
Melusine - don't like it
Millisainte (variation of Millicent found in my ancestry) - Millicent maybe, Millisainte, no. Also having the L and I overkill problem as in Lilliore.
Odelia - Yes. More frilly and less quirky than Cordelia, but I don't mind it at all
Promise - nope
Remember - nope
Esperia - I keep hearing despair without the d. I don't like it.
Finnick - cool! I'm a fan on Finn and pretty much all it's longer names. Finnick is nerdy-awesome!

Secretly love many of these.
Cordelia - adore! I can't decide if I like Cornelia better. But I think Cordelia has a slight edge of coolness. Unusable for me though, since a friend named her daughter Delia.
Esperia, very whispy. Nice. I think it usable, but not necessarily my taste.
Finnick - mmm, not for me. I like Fintant and Finnian, but this name makes me think of the word finicky, so not a fan. F-names are hard though.
Freya. Wasn't sold on this name til it was in a TV show last year. It actually it kinda cool and I love short names, so it fits. I thinks it fits into the modern definition of chic.
Hawthorne - eh. Works, but it a little over the top for me. I honestly would name a pet this, but probably not a human. Though, for a pet, I suppose Pawthorne would be cuter (see what I did there?) ;)
Leif - very rock and roll. Totally works today.
Lilliore - a combo of Lily and Liore? What could go wrong? I love it. In fact, Liore is one of my top names so I might re-explore its usability in conjunction with another name.
Loyal - nope. Sorry. I secretly adore virtue names but this one doesn't do it for me. That said, if I met someone with the name I would think he was awesome.
Melusine - nice. Pretty and showy, but still quirky. I like it, but not really a fan of 'mel-' names so it's not for me personally.
Mililsainte - too frilly. Millicent and Melisande are fantastic though.
Odelia - since I have met a toddler named Ophelia, I suppose this would work. It's cute... hmm, can't decide if I like it.
Promise - adore it! I wish I had the guts to use something like this or Whisper, or Wisdom... but I don't.
Remember - see above, but take the cool factor down maybe one point. Still a great name, but not as great as Promise.
*Gosh, I forgot how much I love virtue names! (Harmony anyone?)
Cordelia - adore! I can't decide if I like Cornelia better. But I think Cordelia has a slight edge of coolness. Unusable for me though, since a friend named her daughter Delia.
