Lolita - I think it has a really beautiful sound but the association is just too obvious.
Lalita - a completely unrelated name but I find it too close to the name above to ever consider it in real life.
Madeline - I love it but it is just way too common for my age group, could be shortened to Maddie (which I don't like so much), has the word 'mad' in it which bothers me a bit and can be pronounced and spelled in too many ways.
Lola - I like the sound but it has such a huge barmaid association. Even I think of that all the time when I hear the name.
Lana - I really loved this until I read it backwards. If that word didn't exist I might use it. I thought about spelling it Lahna or Lanah but I don't like the way those look at all, part of Lana's appeal is its simplicity.
Destiny - I think of a cute pioneer puritan girl with this name wearing a bonnet but most people have a bad association with this. I know it wasn't used by the Puritans (or at least very rare) but I always put the name in the same category.
Amice - AM-is, a common medieval name. Hardly anyone would pronounce this this way and it's also very unknown.
Seamus - would always get mispronounced here.
