Dd2 has vowel name and I do love it... But I think consonant starting names are a bit more distinctive. Beth very popular.
So I vote Ramona

Anya is my favourite. Also like Ramona and Izzy (but would use Isabel, Ishbel or Isabella on birth certificate)

Not keen on Beth or Inara

Anya, Beth and Isabel/Ishbel etc all very nice.

Inara may be an ancient Hittite goddess (or god)*, but nowadays the name belongs to a courtesan in Firefly. Your choice, of course, but I'd be a bit wary of giving a real human baby a name linked to a passing entertainment.

what's a 'passing entertainment' - Firefly/Serenity, whilst only lasting a season, is a pretty well-respected show with a huge fanbase.

Inara is probably my favourite on your list, thought I'm not all that keen on most of them. Ramona is very rock-chick!

I love Firefly/Serenity Wink Grin as much as I love Inara I have dd2 who has an ara at the end of her name so it's probably a no go
