Jemima / Jemimah - I prefer Jemima. I love it, but I know it's problematic in America because of the Aunt Jemima stereotype.
Keziah - it's OK, but a bit too close to the Swedish word for cottage cheese (keso).
Sepphora - part of me like it, but the four last letters spells the Swedish word for w***e and the first letters looks like a word that means something like "spaz", so no, sorry.
Hepzibah - sorry, but I can't stand it. Sounds like a sneeze.
Talitha - interesting, but not really my style.
Saffron - I like it a lot.
Posy / Posie - sounds silly.
Yasmin - I used to hate this name, but now I know a Yasmine who is so sweet that I can't dislike the name.
Lula - more of a nickname.
Zadie - nms.
Zuri - nah.
Gigi - childish.
Matisse - it's kind of cute.
Amari - nah, sounds like a clothes brand.
Elior - too fantasy-esque for my taste. And also makes me think of Eeyore.
Eliezer - too religious.
Ephraim - ditto.
Gideon - giddy up.
Jed - sorry, but yuck.

Jemima / Jemimah - I adore Jemima. Not keen on 'ah' spellings for some reason.
Keziah - Dislike it and even more dislike Kizzy which it's invariably shortened to
Sepphora - I love this name but prefer 'Sephora'
Hepzibah - dislike and find it old fashioned in an unattractive way
Talitha - Very lovely
Saffron - This is really dated where I come from. 70s-80s babies (like me)
Posy / Posie - Posy is adorable for a tot. But would sound a bit silly on a high court judge I think. I find the 'ie' spelling a bit much
Yasmin - Beautiful
Lula - Love it as a shortened version of Tallula
Zadie - I like this one too, though I really loathe Sadie
Zuri - not keen
Gigi - Pronounced 'zhi zhi', I love it, but I think of it as a nickname for any of the feminised 'George' names. (One of my favourite films btw)
Matisse - It's a surname. I'd find it really contrived as a first name
Amari - Not keen
Elior - Love
Eliezer - I prefer Eliazar
Ephraim - I know hate isn't a nice word but...
Gideon - not a favourite (I'm sensing a fellow MGM musical fan here...)

Jemima / Jemimah - I wanna like it, but it beings to mind Aunt Jemima too much.
Keziah - Really beautiful, with a bit of an edge to it. I like Kizzy as a nn.

I love Saffron. I like Zadie. I'm fond of Lula as a nn for Tallulah.
I used to dislike Jemima, where I live Jemima is the name of a pancake syrup. But gradually I have come to like Jemima better.
Sepphora is too close to Sephora, the popular cosmetic store. Gigi does not feel like a full name but it is a cute nn. Matisse reminds me of the painter, and I would not use it. Zuri reminds me of Zurich so I would not use it. Posy reminds me of the word "poser" which means fake. Keziah feels a bit trashy to me. Hepzibah sounds like a witch's name. I'm just not a fan of Amari, Talitha, and Yasmin.
I like Ephraim, but am not a fan of the other boys' names.

Jemima / Jemimah - I prefer Jemima since that's the spelling I'm used to seeing. With the h on the end it just looks trendy even though it's not.
Keziah - For some reason I don't find it overly feminine / not very pretty.
Sepphora - Definitely prefer Zipporah.
Hepzibah - Ugly. A hippo or a witch name in my opinion.
Talitha - It's interesting.
Saffron - I like it, would make a cool middle name.
Posy / Posie - Too cutesy nicknamey for me.
Yasmin - It's pretty. I think of it as the more sophisticated version of Jasmine, no idea why.
Lula - It's ok as a nickname, for Lucinda, Tallulah etc.
Zadie - It is quite spunky, but it has a trendy vibe in my opinion.
Zuri - The trendy version of Suri?
Gigi - Just reminds me of the baby term for horse.
Matisse - This could really grow on me, pretty but spunky and unusual.
Amari - It has a lovely sound, and would be a good nickname for Amaryllis, Amaranthe etc.
Elior - Prefer Eliora on a girl.
Eliezer - Awkward to pronounce and look at in my opinion. Prefer Elijah, Elias etc.
Ephraim - Nice enough. A much better option than the above two.
Gideon - ok
Jed - A nickname only in my opinion

I really like Saffron. I think it would be a refreshing choice. The other names are nms.

Hi !!!
Jemima*: I like very much this name and I prefer this spelling. But what is the right pronounce? jeh-MEE-ma? Because I think je-MI-ma is too "English" for a real Biblical name.
Keziah too strange imo. Not good sound.
Sepphora* - I love all variant of Tzipporah. Sepphora is a new variant for me (I've always heard Séphora) but as Sephora it is nice and elegant.
Hepzibah - Yes but...I dislike the sound.
Talitha* - I really love this name!! It is among the names that I would use on a real child (also spelled as Talita in its Italian variant).
Saffron* - I like this name lately too! But I love the sound of its Italian variant (Zafferano) since I was a child so as Tzipporah, I love all variant of this word.
Posy* - Yes...It is fresh and floreal and short. I like it and I hope it will increase in popularity.
Yasmin* - I love this name! It is prettier than Jasmine and closer to the original word. But is not pronounce with Z as everyone says but with a S.
Lula - Lovely memory? Good! But...I dislike Lula.
Zadie - I dislike this name. Too nickname-y imo.
Zuri* - Lovely meaning and peaceful sound. This name makes me feel serene. I don't know why. Maybe for the similar sound of Azzurro (azure, light-blue in Italian).
Gigi - I strongly dislike this name. Too NN.
Matisse - I love the sound of this name. You are right! But Is a masculine name imo.
Amari - Well...I like the sound yes...but not love it.
Elior - I prefer its feminine variant but I like it very much.
Eliezer - Mmm like but not so much.
Ephraim - I like it when I was a child. Now...nothing special.
Gideon - Absoloutly I dislike it. Horrible sound imo.
Jed - Mmm no. I like Jared but not Jed.
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Eliezer - I adore it, as well as Eleazar.
Ephraim - Absolutely wonderful. I also love the Russian variant Efrem.
Gideon - It's a nice name, especially with nickname Gid.
Jed- as a nickname though, not a full name.
