Alaia (Al-e-ah?) is the only one I like.

Please don't use Dakota. It would be cruel.

Alana is quite nice.

Only like Freya.

Hate Teagan and Dakota, sorry - and Liara sounds both made up and semi-medical.

Sorry, I'm not keen on those names except for Freya. Alana is OK, but the name reminds me of Rod Stewart's first wife. Hate Lola - it reminds me of that extremely buxom woman on Eurotrash:

Lucia is OK and Dakota and Nevaeh are pretentious.

Is Nevaeh a real name or have you invented it?

LOVE Lucia. All the rest aren't great, sorry.

Lola is nice.

I know an Alaia. Pretty name. She is Basque, so think it might be a Basque name?

Not keen on the rest.

Like Lola, Lucia and Freya. Not too keen on the rest.

Teagan: No

Alana: No
freya: Ok
lola: Ok
Alaia: No
Nevaeh: No
Lucia: Ok
Dakota: No

I'm not the best person to ask as I don't like the trend for made up names etc so the Ok ones are just the ones that are 'real' names for want of a better description!

Sorry, I don't mean to rain on your parade. I'll have a think of some suggestions.

Freya, Alana and Alaia are ok, but not my really my taste. No to the rest, sorry.

What about Lyra or Liora? They are similar to Liara but without the 'liar' bit and with some history and nice meanings.

Again, Alaia sounds like 'a liar', if I'm pronouncing it correctly.

Lucia has about four standard pronunciations (Loochia, Loosia, Loothia, Loosha) which could be a big pain, and I would expect a Lucia to be Spanish or Italian.

Alana is nice, so is Freya.

Lucia is lovely but how would you pronounce it? That's quite important.

We have very different taste in names I think.

Nevaeh is a real name if by real you mean that people use it. I know a newborn Nevaeh. It was quite popular a couple of years ago. It's Not Nice.
