These are not on our list but names I encountered this past week. I'm curious to hear what you think of them and whether you find all of them usable:

Ayaka
Citra
Lindsay
Christabel
Makena

Makena is a name I loved as a teenager and I'm sort of liking it now. I pronounce it like Makenna/Mackenna. Would it be usable?

Which spelling of Lindsay is best? And I am aware that Lindsay is one that's not unusual ;)

Are Lindsay and Christabel ‘unusual’?

Your comment is not helpful and it would actually nice if you could read the post before answering.

Ayaka is pretty awful tbh. To many connotations of Yakking up ie being sick.
Lindsay is better Lindsey with an e.
Christabel should really be Cristabel imo.
Again Makena needs to be spelled in the other ways you describe so as not to be known as Mak-e-na

Citra is a hop ...

Christabel and Lindsey (spelt this way as it comes from a place name) are the only names I recognise. Both are ok though I prefer Lindsey on a boy as that is what's traditional. I'd have to do research into the others to see whether they are modern inventions or legitimate names in other languages.

McKenna/Makenna etc is a surname, not a first name.

I’m not keen on any of them but whatever floats your boat.
