Emmy - lovely, but I'd name her Emmeline or Emily and have Emmy as a nickname
Reva - reminds me of Oscar pistorius' girlfriend whom he killed Confused
Maya (May-a pronunciation) - not a fan
Summer - lovely
Romy - I just hear "roamy". Not a fan.
Neeve - Niamh?

I like the others except for Neeve. Prefer Niamh

I prefer Emma to Emmy. Emmy is my cat's name though

Emmy's OK as a shortening for Emma, Emily, Emmeline. Not keen on any of the others.

I like Romy and I like Niamh, but not the spelling Neeve.

I don't mind Maya, but would pronounce it the same way as Maya Jama does. So based on that you might want to think about how your child's name is perceived by people who see it written before they're introduced.

Your other choices don't float my boat to be honest.
