Esperanza: I like this a lot. I like Hope, but Esperanza has a much prettier, less abrupt sound.
Verity: Prissy English-cozy-mystery type name.
Clarity: Sounds like a hearing-aid company.
Reverie: This is an "intimate moisturizer" that I'm hearing ads for all the time.
Darling: About as dumb as naming a kid Honey or Sweetheart. Lame.
Holiday: Yeah, it's a last name, but it just doesn't sound right for a first name.
Anthem: Hate the sound of it, and it's not even a virtue name. If you want to be patriotic name her Liberty or Star or America.
Levity: I like laughter, but I wouldn't want to be named after it.
Beloved: About like Darling, only even more self-conscious.
