I really like Keziah and Evanna, and I don't mind Calla.

Leonor looks like it needs another letter on the end, but that said I know a Leonor & she's lovely which makes me feel positive about it.

Not mad on the rest of them.

I like Calla and Aphra. Aphra Behn is a fab namesake! Apolline I think I'd admire on someone else's child but couldn't ever imagine myself using it! Apollonia is definitely a bit much though (and also sounds like a scientific/medical term to my ears).

Really don't like Gloria - it sounds middle-aged and sort of 'brassy' to me - and as another poster said Leonor looks unfinished.

I like Leonora but none of the others sorry.

Needsomeflapjacks · 27/07/2017 17:19

Not one sorry.

ConstanceCraving · 27/07/2017 17:18

I LOVE Gloria.
Leonor needs finishing with an a.

Not keen on the rest.

zeeboo · 27/07/2017 17:14

Appoline or Keziah for me!

SarahJonesS · 27/07/2017 17:08

I like Calla.

I think Leonor looks unfinished, prefer Leonore.

I'm not fussed about the rest.

Liadain · 27/07/2017 17:06

Evanna, Keziah and Calla are nice.

Gloria is a very churchy sounding name, I can't picture it on anyone under 50.

Aphra - part of me likes it, the other part hears "aphrodisiac".

Leonor - fabric softener.

Dislike the rest, especially Apollonia.

I really like Sunniva, Calla and Keziah (Keziah is probably my favourite from your list). I cannot warm to Gloria at all. Leonor to me looks it's missing a final letter - I like Leonora. Appollina and Aphra aren't really to my taste and I've never heard of Cyra and Evanna.

They're real, just quite unusual!

Are they real names or made up?

I like Gloria the most. Wouldn't know how to say half of the others and probably the other half would causr misspellings all the child's life.
