Henrietta (Hetty for short) - too long, too masculine sounding and Harriet already better
Larissa - it has dated feel, what would be nicknames? Lara and Rissa not nice imo
Athena - it's fine, it's becoming more mainstream, but to me this is only the goddess, kinda like 'one person name'
Alice - love it, but became kinda trendy recently
Aurora - popular, trendy, but I love it, I think it's usable, but hard to pronounce for some
Gaia - names ending with -aia sound and being two syllable short names already kinda trendy, don't like associations with these names
