Constance and Clara are very under used, you'd be ahead of the curve.

I like most of them.
However, I don't like Autumn because I don't like nouns as names. "This has been a bad Autumn" "What a miserable Autumn!"

I think it’s a great list but I don’t like Pollyanna isn’t that a bit of a joke name that means to be overly cheerful??
Also not keen on Juniper and Emilia makes me think of the skin condition milia but that’s just my personal taste.
If popularity bothers you ( I personally couldn’t care less about whether a name is popular or not but I know some people do) don’t pick Sophia. If you put together the spellings Sophia and Sofia I think that’s the most popular baby name in the UK right now according to the latest stats.

My personal favourites from your list are Phoebe , Clara , Heidi , Rosanna.

Emilia

Juniper
Phoebe
Pollyanna
Primrose/ Posie
Rosanna
Sophia

Amelie - 7/10 - pretty, but so 2010
Autumn - 7/10 - nice, but I find it hard to say and not suitable for babies born in non-autumn
Annabelle -7/10 - nice, but there's spelling variation, I don't like Anna and Belle as nicknames
Arabella - 7/10 - nice, but Annabelle sounds better
Clara - 7/10 - nice, but don't like how English people pronounce it
Connie/ Constance - Constance 8/10, Connie 5/10, don't like Connie, but Constance is nice but long and kinda hard to say
Emilia - 7/10 - nice but Emily better
Heidi - 8/10 - nice, but feels overly German
Juniper - 8/10 - nice, nice nicknames
Phoebe - 9/10 - nice, lacks good nicknames
Pollyanna - 5/10 - nice, but overly long and jokey
Primrose/ Posie - Primrose 6/10, Posie 8/10, really like Posie, but not keen on Primrose
Rosanna - 10/10 - nice
Sophia - 9/10 - nice but overly popular
Zara - 6/10 - I think this name is harsh, but nothing necessary wrong with it

A really lovely list op.

Not so keen on Autumn, which I think is a different vibe from the others.

Phoebe is a good classic, but I do see the word amoeba when I look at it, so it's my next least favourite. It also makes me think "feeble."

Juniper is sweet but maybe a bit of a name for a pony?

Most of the others I love. I probably love Annabel, Arabella, Constance and Sophia best of all. All classic, traditional, pretty for a child and elegant for a grown woman.

I also really like the Emilia spelling which has Shakespearean vibes.

My top three are: Clara, Phoebe and Sophia

Amelie - beautiful, but a little overdone
Autumn - ok
Annabelle - ok
Arabella - not keen
Clara - classic, beautiful
Connie/ Constance - not keen on Constance but Connie is cute
Emilia - better than Amelia
Heidi - timeless
Juniper - not keen
Phoebe - meh. Had its day.
Pollyanna - OTT
Primrose/ Posie - Posie is cute. A little ditsy, but still nice.
Rosanna - timeless. I like it.
Sophia - pretty, and thankfully it’s not as popular as it used to be.
Zara - ok

I like Amelie and really like Autumn but the rest aren’t to my taste. We’re all different though and you probably wouldn’t choose my children’s names!
