Re: Names on my mind (possible faves)
Greta - lovely!
Allegra - nice middle but the product ruins it as a first for me
Bera - does the first syllable rhyme with "bare"? Nothing here appealing for my ear to grab, I'm afraid
Cecile - perfectly decent name but don't care for sound or meaning
Chantrea - lovely meaning but not loving the sound
Corinna - nice, sweetRowinna - definitely this spelling for the pron. you want (which I like much better, btw); at least those English-speakers who learned to read by phonetic rules will know the double consonant makes the preceding vowel shortMaryvonne - does "Mar" rhyme with "far"?; pretty but I'm wanting it to be MarianneMasha - for me, this does not appeal at all, sound-wise, as something to call a person you like/love

Reed - prefer Reid personally, but Reed brings pleasant nature imagery
Romy - don't think it's a terrible choice, but never have cared for it
Florine - enjoy most "Flor" names, but my brain logs this one as sister to Chlorine
Wendy - I've long loved it and I do think it can suit a grown up just fine
Zareen - doesn't particularly appeal to me but it's easy to say/spell/understand
Vanya - dislike this Jesse - a handsome and egregiously-underrated name, in my opinion
Gordon - handsome, solid
Ansel - love it; handsome and sweet
"EJ" - personally, wouldn't give initials as a name but these two sound okay
Azel - does the pron. rhyme with Hazel? or Basil? - not grabbing me
Bence - guessing this rhymes with "hence"; nothing grabs my ear
Elior - handsomeHankin - when I pron. "Han" like Han Solo, I get "honkin'"; when I rhyme "Han" with "man", handkerchiefs come to mind

Ogden - sound is okay; perceive this as a place name
Cager - "one who cages" or, worse, "cadges" is what I get from this
Zephyr - handsome; love it
