LastNightsMakeUp · 31/03/2018 18:55

Also you have a few drag queen names in there... not sure if that's a positive or negative for you!

Glumglowworm · 31/03/2018 18:56

The only ones I’d keep would be Mila, Willow and Beatrix

Moxie, xylona, Nomi and Idylla are particularly awful so they’re the first ones I’d cross off the list

RidingWindhorses · 31/03/2018 19:00

All except Mila, Delilah, Electra and Beatrice (don't like trix).

I appreciate a classical name but a girl I knew called Venus was always called Penis.

linz0308 · 31/03/2018 19:43

I would get rid of
1.Indigo (Indie is ok)
2.Dulcie/Dulcinia
3.Zinnia
5.Bessie
6.Moxie
7.Venus
8.Nova
9.Deja
10.Magnolia
11.Sabre
12.Aspen
14.Nomi
15.Xylona
16.Juniper
17.Blossom
18.Xia
19.Idylla
20.Delilah
21.Ivory
23.Electra
26.Cassy
27.Xantha
28.Zory
29. Jinx
30. Tempest

Beeziekn33ze · 31/03/2018 19:51

Keep:
Aspen
Xia
Cassy or Cassidy
Xanthe (not Xantha)

But it's your choice. The one that I really dislike is Moxie

IVflytrap · 31/03/2018 19:56

I'd remove

6.Moxie
8.Nova
9.Deja
10.Magnolia
11.Sabre
15.Xylona
17.Blossom
19.Idylla
21.Ivory
23.Electra
28.Zory
29. Jinx
30. Tempest

Xylona sounds like a chemical, Sabre, Ivory, Electra, Jinx and Tempest have negative or destructive associations, Moxie, Deja, Magnolia, Idylla and Zory look or sound ugly. I've never liked Nova.

1.Indie/Indigo
4.Mila
12.Aspen

SuperBeagle · 31/03/2018 21:21

Need to be crossed off immediately:

  • Dulcinia
  • Moxie - What on Earth is this? Concur with others that it sounds like a disease.
  • Bessie - Only cows should bear this name
  • Venus
  • Deja - Again, what on Earth?
  • Sabre - You see Sabre, you hear "toothed tiger", or lightsaber.
  • Nomi - Too gnomey. Naomi is nice, however.
  • Xylona
  • Blossom - Can work as a middle name, but not as a first name.
  • Idylla
  • Ivory - Dead elephants.
  • Electra - Carmen
  • Xantha - Xanthe is fine, though.
  • Zory - Also what on Earth?
  • Jinx - The cat from Meet the Parents, and totally unusable even if that wasn't an association.
  • Tempest - Absolutely awful. Tempestuous?

Usable but don't like:

  • Indie / Indigo
  • Dulcie
  • Zinnia
  • Nova
  • Mila
  • Magnolia
  • Zana
  • Beatrix

The best of a pretty poor bunch:

  • Aspen - Wouldn't use if you have no connection to the place, though.
  • Autumn
  • Juniper - Prefer Juno
  • Xia
  • Delilah - Prefer Dahlia
  • Willow
  • Cassie - This spelling
Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/03/2018 21:25

Also lose Venus. It would've be too bad if it didn't rhyme with Penis.
If you looking for a planety name. Do you not like Saturn or Mercury. I can see by your list ypu like out there type names.

Smoliver · 31/03/2018 21:33

Love:
Indie/Indigo
Autumn
Juniper
Willow
Bee/Beatrix

Like:
Zinnia - love this but in Matilda, it's the name of her mother, which slightly puts me off
Mila
Nova
Magnolia - although, not a fan of the nn Maggie
Blossom - prefer it for a middle name though
Xia
Delilah
Ivory
Cassy - prefer Cassie as the spelling
Xantha - slightly prefer Xanthe
