Re: Which name?

My favorite of these is easily Tahlia. I like a lot of them but that one stands out as being especially beautiful.
Ordered from favorite to least favorite
Really like or like:
Tahlia - Tahlia is my favorite Thalia spelling and Talia is my second favorite. Tali or Lia can both be good nn's.
Elyse - I slightly prefer the spelling Elise. This name is very similar to Alice only it is less common.
Andrea - I like the nn's Ann, Annie, and Andie. I especially like Andie.
Aria - Very trendy right now but it is very pretty.
Charlotte - Charlie, Lottie, and Lettie are all really good nn's. Unfortunately this name is very popular.
Heather - A bit dated because of how popular it was but I only know a few of them personally.
Amber - I have know quite a few Amber's, I go back and forth between liking it and finding it a bit too cutesy and dated.
Layla - Not too common although at the same time fairly popular. It reminds me of Kayla but I like Layla a lot more and I doubt it will ever reach Kayla's level of popularity.
Okay
Gina - I know a lot of Gina's, I had a best friend with this name who is now Gene and I also have an aunt Gina. I prefer the name Regina which I would place in the "Like" catagory. I also prefer Gia since it is less dated.
Dislike
Madison - Far too popular and now on it's way out which is especially bad. Also I don't care for -son names. Maddie is a fairly good nn but I would use Madeline/ Madeleine before I'd use Madison.
Kayla - I used to know a lot of Kayla's so the name feels very dated. Add all the Kaylee's and other similar names this name feels even more dated.
Brynn - I really dislike it as a fn but it might be nice as a mn.
