Love Hebe , Delilah and Mavis not keen on the others.

Tallulah - it ok but seems to suit a child rather than an adult

Hebe - dislike. I also think heebie jeebies!

Delilah - I quite like this but I'll bet other posters won't like the "Why, why, why Delilah" connotations.

Mavis - good God no. Reminds me of that old bat in Corrie!

Clemency - this is ok. I quite like Clemmie

Isadora -I really like this. Also Isolte/Isolde

Aoife - lovely name

Maren - also nice, although the old person I know with this name is German, so I assumed it is a German name.

Love Hebe but I only get bad feedback for it. My partners sister laughed when she heard it. "Heebie jeebies" gets mentioned a lot :(

Tallulah and Delilah are nice and flow off the tongue. I can't really imagine an adult Tallulah but maybe that's because of Bugsy Malone.

I prefer Mirren to Maren and Cecily to Clemency.

Whenever I hear Isadora, the Wizadora theme tune starts playing in my head! Not necessarily a bad thing.

I don't like Mavis - prefer Mabel and I'm not keen on Aoife either as I don't think it sounds that nice if you don't have an Irish accent.
