Allegra- lovely, not overly used, and I like the cheerful meaning.
Alma- a little to solid and dated
Amaryllis- Interesting but a bit of a mouth full. Perhaps Ama or Rilla could be a nickname?
Andromeda- Nice
Arianwen- Pretty with a nice touch of fantasy
Astraea- Okay but I prefer Astra, Astara or Astrid.
Carlotta- dislike. It reminds me too strongly of the prima donna in the "Phantom of the Opera."
Christine- Beautiful. I also like Christina.
Eirwen- okay but dislike the 'ear' sound.
Eluned or Luned- It would probably be mispronounced.
Emmeline- Nice but popular
Erianthe- dislike.
Esperanza- Exotic and feisty sounding.
Evangeline- Beautiful. Love this name.
Fern- Pretty
Gaia- Earthy and Methodologically rich, very nice
Hyacinth- dislike the sound
Inez- nice
January- nice but very unisex
Jemima- Very nice
Johanna- Beautiful and classic.
Linnet- Cute and lady like.
Meg- short and simple but I prefer it as a nn for Margaret.
Nayeli- pretty
Ocean- Geographically, I like the Ocean but not as a name for a person.

Allegra- It reminds me of the allergy medicine, and beyond that it's not really my style. I'm not a big fan of the sound.
Alma- On the other hand, I think Alma is lovely. It's very soft and homey, very cozy.
Amaryllis- It's a tad GP for me, but not bad.
Andromeda- I think the galaxy/space connections are cool, but I do worry about pronunciation. At first glance I always think "an-dro-MEE-dah," not "an-DROM-med-ah."
Arianwen- I think it's really pretty and distinctive. I like a lot of Welsh names for girls.
Astraea- I'm not sold on this. It reminds me of ashtrays and the word "stray."
Barnaby- I think Barnaby is so quirky and a lot of fun. I'd try to avoid Barney as a nickname if I could. I'd probably call him B as a nickname.
Carlotta- Not my style. It sounds somewhat dated and a little harsh.
Christine- Still too 80s for me. I grew up with too many of them.
Eirwen- I prefer Arianwen by far, it has a more open and pretty sound to me.
Eluned or Luned- Not really my taste. It has a kind of heavy sound to me.
Emmeline- I think it's cute and vintage, but maybe still to close to Emma and Emily to really make an impact.
Erianthe- I think it would cause too many problems for her in my area, as far as spelling and pronunciation go.
Esperanza- Eh, it's okay. Very lively and I like the meaning.
Evangeline- I think it's very pretty and still kind of demure or restrained despite the length. I also like the number of nicknames you can get from this name.
