Adele - I like it. I prefer Adelaide, Adela or Alice, but all the forms of this name are pretty to me. Something about the "del-" sound I like.
Aria - I am not a fan of this name at all. There's something about it that feels trashy to me. I'm ok with the similar sounding Ariana & Ariadne, however.
Jacqueline / Jackie - I love this name. It is on my list as well. This spelling is the best in my opinion. I read a book called "Easy" recently, and every time I read that book it makes me fall in love with the name Jacqueline all over again. It is the main character's name. It sounds so elegant and graceful.
Jade - I am biased with this name, as I knew a mean Jade in high school. She ruined it for me. If I try to be objective, it is still not a name I would add to my list, as I'm not a huge fan of mineral/crystal/precious stone names. That being said, when it comes to those types of names, I think I like the sound of Jade due to its similarity in sound to Jane. It sounds like a fresher, more youthful-sounding version of Jane.
Maria / Marie - The name Marie was actually just on my mind. Here, Marie is overused as both a middle name and a double-barreled name. I can't tell you how many women named Marie-France, Marie-Philip, Marie-Claude or Marie-Luce I know. But I was considering Marie as just a first name, alone, by itself. It sounds so simple, yet strong, and it could be paired with so many middle names. Maria is beautiful too, but I do prefer it pronounced like Mariah.
Aria - I am not a fan of this name at all. There's something about it that feels trashy to me. I'm ok with the similar sounding Ariana & Ariadne, however.
Jacqueline / Jackie - I love this name. It is on my list as well. This spelling is the best in my opinion.

Adele — I really like it. Classic, not trendy, maybe a bit old fashioned, with a beautiful sound and meaning. 10/10
Aria — really not a fan. The musical connection is nice, but this seems so trendy to me. 3/10
Jacqueline / Jackie — you can’t really go wrong with this. It’s simple, classic, and works on any type of woman. 9/10
Jade — this is just as trendy as Aria, but without much meaning behind it. 2/10
Maria / Marie — underused classics as first names, overused filler as middle names. As a first name, I’d give them 10/10
Opal — interesting gemstone; not sure whether I like or strongly dislike it as a name (how I feel about most O names, tbh). 6/10
Paloma — beautiful sound, and I love the meaning of dove. 9/10
Pomona — I know this is a name with a long history, but it just makes me think of the city in California. I just can’t get past it. 4/10
Sasha — I like Sasha as a nickname for Aleksandra, but don’t think it can stand on its own. As a full name, I’d give Sasha 3/10
Zaynab — beautiful pronunciation and meaning, underused (at least where I live), classic. Just perfect. 10/10
Aria — really not a fan. The musical connection is nice, but this seems so trendy to me. 3/10
Jacqueline / Jackie — you can’t really go wrong with this. It’s simple, classic, and works on any type of woman. 9/10

Hi peonini !!!
Adele 5/10 boring. I much prefer Ada. It is clearer but also more mature and elegant.
Aria 6/10 it could be my style but for some reason it isn't yet. I really like Aura instead (pr is like the Italian Laura without L). It is refined, pure but super-modern without being trendy.
Jacqueline 'Jackie' 8/10 I really like this name. I prefer Jacqueline pronpunced in French.
Jackie 8/10 is stunning as NN. Actually it is growing on my mind as full first name too.
Jade 4/10 I dislike the sound. I much prefer Giada. But both seem trashy and overused.
Maria / Marie 5/10 both super boring and plain. Just it.
Opal 6/10 like Aria it could ne my style but it isn't. I much prefer Opaline that is in my PNL.
Paloma 9/10 If I will have a Spanish/Latino husband I would seriously think of it as FN or MN for a future daughter. Simple, great and cheer sound, elegant meaning.
Pomona 7/10 I use to like it but it is not among my faves.
Sasha 3/10 it is horrible on a girl imo.
I much prefer Sacha (spelt in French) but only on a boy.
Zaynab 7/10 I use to like it but by far too religious as Arabic name.
..and you?
What is your thought about them? ^^
