Aixa -idk how to pronounce it but it looks alright
Bexti -idk how i feel. it looks like it sounds like 'bestie'
Chiamaka -sounds cool, looks interesting, I don't mind it.
Fofanah -i like it. not to be rude, though, but it sounds a little like someone saying Shoshana while chewing a mouthful of bread.
Shekinah -idk exactly how to say it but it looks interesting. I wouldn't say it's my favourite, though.
Sumia -i like it enough
Talbot -i dislike it
Tremaine -sounds like a type of hiking boot. not my cup of tea
Tuscany -i've literally been thinking of calling a character in a story Tuscany Rose as a sort of joke! I actually kind of like the sound, but I think it makes for a bit of a silly name.
Xitlali -I like it, but I prefer Citlalli.

Neat list!Aixa - is this Aisha (eye-sha, eye-ee-sha)? I like it.
Bexti - nms, it has that consonant crash like Braxton. Makes me think Becky is nicer.
Chiamaka - neat name.
Fofanah - interesting. I'm not attracted to the repeated F sound.
Shekinah - a bit overbearing maybe but probably seems sweet irl
Sumia - interesting ... I dunno. I like Samia.
Talbot - as a first name, seems not very appealing to me. The bot part especially
Tremaine - it's alright. How's it pronounced?
Tuscany - a little bit funny to me. I could probably get used to it, since it sounds a bit like Tiffany.
Xitlali - Citlali is interesting. I feel like the X makes it iffy to pronounce, since an initial X is sometimes a Sh.

I think that Aixa is interesting! How do you pronounce it, and do you know of its origin? I think that "Ayx-uh" (with a long A) sounds kind of cool.

The name-bearer has a Hispanic last name, which matches the origin listed in the submitted names. It's definitely my favorite on here!

Awesome! Apparently, Àïxa is another variant- the Catalan form of Aisha, which means "alive" or "she who lives". I find that really neat!!
