Deborah - I do like it in its own right, but it is hard for me to separate associations from middle aged women. I actually really love the way Deborah looks written out in cursive, in that helps.
Alice - I love Alice. One of my favorite names. What a sweetie.
Caitlin - Regardless of pronunciation, Caitlin pretty much bores me, sorry. I'd honestly prefer Cathleen though I know that's not exactly what you're going for.
Cheyenne - Always seemed tacky to me, sorry. I also don't like the way it sounds. Shy-Anne? Outgoing-Anne.
Jade - Always on the fence with this one. I don't hate it but the sound is harsh. I guess it's good if you suffer from bad kidney stones.
Kristin - I prefer Kristen, but either way I find it a bit dated. It is pretty, though.
Nicole - Also dated and I'd prefer Nicolette or Nicola.
Zara - Gorgeous, I knew a really weird one who tainted it for me a little, but I'd be happy to see it on others.

Arlie - Not substantial enough on its own. Short for anything? What about Arlo?
Bram - Like Bram but again I'd rather see it shortened for Abraham or Abram.
Byron - I think it's weird and pretentious, and reminds me of... emptiness? I guess because of the word "barren", ha.
Daniel - Daniel is a great name. I really like using Daniel as a first name for really bizarre middle names. It's generally a really good balance.
Hayden - Eh.
Inigo - Cool!
James - Boring
Kester - No
Marlowe - Eh
Natan - Don't hate it but I like it better than Nathan
