I like Lyra the best. Everything else is really on trend and boring to me! I have a soft spot for Iris and Violet even though they've gotten popular. But everything else bores me I'm afraid!

Maren spelled like this is okay or Marin (pronounced Mahr-in) is really nice!

I like Margot, Connie and then Hazel and Phoebe.
Don't like the rest.

Iris
Olive
Connie

are all fine. I dislike the others.

Love: Willa, Clara, Pearl, Hazel, Merryn, Phoebe

Like: Margot, Violet, Grace, Iris
Dislike with a passion: Connie unless it's a nn for Constance, and Lyra.
Feel eh about: Esme, Olive, Mabel

My daughter called Esme has a 9 week old daughter called Olive ..everyone absolutely loves Olive and her name 💕💕

Clairer ?

Iris - this has really grown on me lately. Perhaps a little harsh-sounding but classy and elegant.
Willa - really like this
Esme - meh, sounds a bit insipid to me - sort of generic pretty name
Clara - OK, getting quite popular if this is a concern
Pearl - OK, works better as a middle name imo
Hazel - OK, think it might date as it’s suddenly very popular again. Nice nature/colour links though.
Margot - no, sounds and looks unpleasant and will be incredibly faddy
Violet - meh, another trendy/faddy choice
Olive - no, dowdy and plain. Can’t see why it’s being revived tbh.
Grace - just incredibly dull
Mabel - archetypal newly trendy old lady name - not keen
Merryn - beautiful!
Lyra - really like this and the Northern Lights link but it’s part of the current Lily/Lila/Lara/Laila trend so might end up a bit lost in the crowd
Phoebe - nice, sounded fresh a few years ago but perhaps a bit bland now

Connie - no, not strong enough to stand alone for me and I’m not keen on Constance

My shortlist would be Iris, Willa, Merryn and possibly Lyra and Hazel.

Other ideas:
Rosa
Vita
Greta
Audrey
Etta
Beatrix
Gaia
Nancy
Cleo
Tessa

I love Violet, Hazel and Iris from your list. Like PP I only like Clara pronounced as Clare-ah, to rhyme with sarah.

Willa is awful, I've seen it suggested a few times on here and cant get my head around the love for it- it's like half a name

Iris - Love this. Beautiful, elegant name.
Willa - not sure. It's ok.
Esme - like it.
Clara - it's ok.
Pearl - not keen on this. don't like the errl sound.
Hazel - like it. Very unusual for a baby now.
Margot - not keen.
Violet - it's ok.
Olive - really don't like this. Not sure why because I like Olivia. Maybe just because I hate olives so much!
Grace - really like it. Would worry slightly about an ungraceful Grace though.
Mabel - not keen. Can't get this one out on old lady territory in my head.
Merryn - like it
Lyra - love it.
Phoebe - like it
Connie - like it but would use Constance as a full name.

I'd choose Iris or Lyra. Probably Iris.
