Eliza - love, my favourite of your list
Isla - nice, but I find it over-used
Iris - really like, interesting and smart, not over-used, my 2nd choice
Emily - lovely classic
India - will always have colonial overtones for me unless you are Indian
Lola - not keen
Hazel - not keen but better than Lola
Millie - sweet

Ollie/Olly - don't like, but do like Oliver (if he wasn't called Ollie)
Miles - great - smart, grown-up name unlike Ollie.
Erik - not keen
Jack - love, never get tired of this great name
Nathan - dislike. I like Nate on its own or short for Nathaniel.
