I like Grace and Olivia best.

Might Briar be ,mistaken for Brian?

Some really nice names - I’d go for Verity, or Briar if you want something really unusual

Grace and Olivia are lovely but way overused

Lilah will just blurr with the multitude of Lily/Lila/Lola/Lara/Lyra/Leah/Lena/Leilas

India I would avoid unless you have Indian heritage, it just sounds unsettlingly colonial on a white British child

Grace - really pretty, so popular yet it never gets boring
Verity - wouldn’t use myself, but would be interesting to see on someone else
India - beautiful
Olivia - I understand it’s popularity to some extent but it’s way too common at the moment
Briar - a lovely name with a lovely meaning
Lilah - quite pretty but it sort of blends in with all the other names beginning with ‘l’ that are in and out of the top 50 (Lara, Lyra, Layla etc)

Grace - it's ok but super popular, definitely not the best name on your list.
Verity - I like this one! Unusual and quite a strong name.
India - not personally a fan but nothing wrong with it.
Olivia- also very popular but much prettier than Grace, so I'd go for this over that if they are the top two for you.
Briar - love this. My favourite on your list.
Lilah- it's ok although I'm not a huge fan.

Grace - bland, very popular
Verity - quite lovely
India - feels overtly colonial to me. India threads are usually divisive and I’d try to avoid giving my child anything loaded as their name
Olivia - it’s so popular there’s nothing anyone can say really. Clearly it’s a fine name as so many are choosing it, but for me it’s just dull
Briar - love it
Lilah - sounds bland, as it fits right in with the vowel heavy names popular for girls at the moment. Lilac doesn’t stand out in a sea of Isla, Ivy, Lily, Ella etc. I prefer the spelling Lila

Grace - not keen. Nice meaning but I don't llike the sound of it
Verity - Ferrety
India - no
Olivia - overused so will always be Olivia Surname outside the home
Briar - nice
Lilah - awful, sounds like Lilo
