Aveza Guinevere
Calanthe Ingrid

I like Iona Briseis and Maren Eugenia. I think I would like Ingrid Calanthe better than Calanthe Ingrid.

Maren Eugenia really catches my eye. It's gorgeous! I love the colors and the whole thing is so jewelly. Perfect!
Aveza Guinevere is very nice too, it's my second favorite. It feels so exotic without being so, which I like. Actually Aveza is new to me and I was surprised to click it and see its origin.
Calanthe Ingrid doesn't do anything for me.
Iona Briseis I'm not a huge fan of, but it has pretty colors and a nice cool, breezy feel.

All of them are nice. Calanthe Ingrid is my favourite and lends itself to the nn Callie. Maren and Iona are probably the most easily usable.

I really really like Maren Eugenia.At first glance, Maren can be mistaken for fashionable rather than substantial -- a familiar prefix of Mar-, followed by the trendy -en suffix. Don't get me wrong, I think Maren is wonderful, but I could certainly see it for American parents teetering on the side of "I Want A Modern Way To Honor A Mary!", which I'd appreciate less. Eugenia comes along and wipes that possibility clean. Great combo.ETA: Maren Eugenia also strikes me as very wintery. Maren is like bluish icicles and Eugenia is snow white. Makes me like it even more.The rest are nms and I don't have too much commentary on them, though I can appreciate the resounding V's in Aveza Guinevere.

Calanthe Ingrid and Maren Eugenia are really lovely and definitely usable. Aveza is a nice name and I like its sound. I don't like it paired with Guinevere. I also like Iona but with Brises I'll never get past the 'bris' part without thinking of circumcision.
