They’re girls’ names. What’s your immediate reaction to each of them, please?

They're all meaningful and from our cultures, but - putting that aside - I’m looking for immediate reactions/first impressions.

Thank you!

I like Aziza best. Used to know one, so that may be why.

Do you pronounce the middle two with an eye sound or Is/Ir sound?

Is/Ir sound, not ‘eye’. But this is the sort of stuff that’s helpful, as it wouldn’t have occurred to me that people might think ‘eye’. Thank you!

I like Izuka and Iruka.

I think if you’re in the UK Aziza might be a bit too close to Aviva.

Personally not a fan of any name starting with Z, as it always sounds harsh to me - but that really is just personal preference,

My first reactions:
Aziza is my favourite. Iruka seems to have a harsher sound and I don't like it as much as the others. Izuka and Zikora seem nice too.
I pronounce them AZ-ee-za, eye-RU-ka, IZ-oo-ka, and ZIK-or-a when reading then in my head.
