Like Celeste and love Cecilia.

Not keen on the others.

I really like Cecelia and Ava (in that order). Gracie is pretty too although I’d go for Grace and use Gracie as a nickname. Chloe is ok, I don’t like the others and Reeva would constantly be mistaken for River (I also think of Steenkamp).

Reeva - too similar to Eva and River
Chloe - massively popular 20 yrs ago so likely to be dated
Cecilia - not sure
Ava - dislike
Gracie - not keen
Celeste - no
Eliana - too frilly and will just be another Ellie

Reeva - immediately makes me think of Reeva Steenkamp
Chloe - feels dated and bland
Cecilia - lovely
Ava - it’s starting to fall from a massive swing in popularity. Just feels a bit dull and insipid to me
Gracie - I prefer Grace to Gracie (and both are full to me)
Celeste - quite pretty, though I prefer Cecilia
Eliana - again, this sounds bland to me. It’s another El- name and Eliana really typifies the style of girls name which is popular at the moment (lots of vowels, liquid consonants).

Cecelia, Ava and Gracie are my favorites although I'd be worried about the popularity of Ava and Gracie so would probably choose Cecelia which is very pretty and suits all ages.
Chloe- very dated.
Eliana- Ellie is v v popular and I think she'd inevitably become one.
Celeste- pill. Ship.
Reeva- seems unfinished. Is it a shortening?

Reeva- will be mistaken for River/ spelt wrong
Chloe- bit dated
Cecilia- fine, not for me though
Ava- nice but lots around
Gracie- really dislike
Celeste- love, although there’s a contraceptive pill with similar name
Eliana- ok quite like
