Tiffany - nothing special and I don't feel like it's a good name for a nowadays girl. Maybe after some time it'll be fresh again, but not now and I guess many people may think so too.
Eliana - lovely, charming, definitely in my style, although I would add another n as I love names ending in -anna, well, many of them anyway.
Alessandra - mixed feelings. I kind of like ALexandra/Aleksandra, it's a strong yet feminine name, I love Alexander/Aleksander, but at the same time Aleksandra is soooooo overused here in generations from about 60's until now. ANd in ALessandra I don't like that ss, it takes away even that bit of charm that Alexandra/Aleksandra has.
Evangelina - brilliant, love it. I can't decide which is more beautiful, Evangelina or Evangeline. Meaning is also really lovely. And I like Angelina and related names too, so, yeah, Evangelina is definitely one of my favourites.
Veronica - sweet, but strong and oldfashioned in a nice way. And some nice associations getting in the way, although still it's so similar to our Polish Weronika, which is hugely overused recently and became rather boring to me.
Daniella - love it for it's strength and energy.
Estella - also love, along with other -stella/stelle names.
Serena - pretty, sweet and, just so serene-sounding.
Catalina - not a fan. I like many variants of Katherine, but not this one.
Ellen - prefer Helen or Helena, but it's still lovely and I love it, even if it's dated.

Tiffany – too fluffy, very dated
Eliana – ok, too soft for my taste
Alessandra – really like, pretty but strong, personally prefer Alexandra
Evangelina – too religious for me, but I like it for others, also too many syllables, I’d prefer Evangeline
Veronica – I have a soft spot for this one, but how to avoid the Ronnie nickname?
Daniella – really don’t care for this, it’s very dated and is one of those names that seems to say “I wanted a boy named Daniel, but since I got a girl, we’ll just make the name feminine.” Not as bad as Davida, I’d opt for Gabrielle or Gabriella if you like the “elle/ella” ending.
Estella – I like this a lot, much better than Estelle which still sounds old-fashioned to me or Stella which is still too associated with the Streetcar Named Desire character
Serena – very pretty, lovely meaning, I’d more likly use as a middle name
Catalina – I just couldn’t, my husband loves the salad dressing
Ellen – nope, there’s only one now – Ellen DeGeneris, and it’s otherwise horribly dated, I’d go for Eleanor, Helena, or even Eileen before Ellen.
Kellan – actually rather like this, modern and more masculine variant of Kelly and nice alternate for Kieran, not as adventurous as Stellan
Timothy – it’s okay, I don’t like the nickname Tim though
Stefan – not bad, but not a favorite, I do like it better than Stephen or Steven
Jasper – love it, I know it’s hipster, but I really love it
Emiliano – no, I’d go with Emilio instead
Finley – don’t like this for boys or girls, I’d go with Finn
Elliot – I love this name
Desmond – I really like this, it’s so Scottish, more flair than Duncan or Douglas (though I like those too)
Dillon – kind of dated – prefer the Dylan spelling
Hugo – okay, but not for me

Tiffany - sadly dated and always flimsy.
Veronica - inconveniently long, with unattractive nns.
Daniella - better with one l - Daniela - but not good either way. Daniel for a boy is brilliant.
Serena - a one-owner name and a lot to live up to.
Ellen - drab and dusty; far prefer Helen.Timothy - very good, and Tim is excellent.
Stefan - prefer Stephen, which I would use.
Desmond - sounds unattractively heavy; dated.
Dillon - the only spelling I can face is Dylan.
Hugo - very pleasant. I'd use it, mostly because Hugh has pronunciation issues where I live.I've never met anyone with any of the other names listed, so I can't really comment.

Tiffany - I personally like it. I think it's sassy and elegant, but the fact that it's so stereotyped as snobby is a little disheartening.
Eliana - Cute, but a little frilly.
Alessandra - Pretty, but I prefer Alexandra.
Evangelina - I don't like the "a" at the end. Evangeline, however, is beautiful.
Veronica - A timeless favorite of mine. I like the nickname Ronnie, too.
Daniella - It's alright. Nothing special to it, though.
Estella - Like Evangelina, not a fan of the "a" ending, but Estelle is nice.
Serena - Very pretty. Not much else to say.
Catalina - It's nice, but I personally wouldn't use it.
Ellen - Boring, but it's fine, I guess.Kellan - Strong. A solid name.
Timothy - I'd like it if I didn't know somebody in real life named Timothy who's really unpleasant.
Stefan - It's okay. Not much else to say.
Jasper - I really like this name, it's strong and reminds me of someone wild and untamed.
Emiliano - Cool, but I don't think I'd personally use it.
Finley - I don't really like this name, but I can't put my finger on why.
Elliot - I prefer this name with an extra "t", but it's one of my favorites.
Desmond - Again, like Timothy, I know a very unpleasant Desmond, so I can't say I like this name very much.
Dillon - I prefer this spelling to Dylan. It's modern in a way that isn't obnoxious.
Hugo - Cute and quirky. I'd consider naming my future child this.

Evangelina: Good lord, can you stick one more flounce on that flouncy name?
Veronica: Cute, sparkly but down to earth.
Daniella: It's pretty in a rather exotic, glamorous way. I like Danielle a bit better.
Estella: Nice but I prefer Estelle.
Serena: Very pretty.
Catalina: More interesting than Katherine, but very reminiscent of salad dressing.

Stefan: Annoys me somehow.
Jasper: I do not like this name one iota.
Emiliano: Handsome, but not as handsome as Emilio.
