Of those, only Thea and Jessica are names I would actually consider. Murron is awful.

Anya- bit meh
Natalia- beautiful
Murron- awful
Lyra - nearly as bad
Cora- meh
Jessica - okay
Eleni- quite like this
Thea - beautiful

Natalia or Thea for me with Eleni as a possibility. I think Eleni won’t age well.

I only like Jessica

Here's my order:
Jessica
Lyra
Thea
Anya
Natalia
Cora
Eleni
Murron

I like all if your names with the huge exception of Murron....it’s really ugly sounding.

I love Jessica and Anya. Dislike the others - sorry

Jessica 8
Eleni 2

@TildaTurnip

Anya and Eleni I like.

How is Murron pronounced? Is it phonetic?

I'd you've ever seen the move Braveheart - it's the name of William Wallace's wife in the movie.

Lyra or Cora are the only two for me.

Murron must be an anglicisation of Muireann, surely? I don’t like the spelling at all. It’s harsh and ugly, when the original is a beautiful Gaelic name.

I really like Anya, Cora and Natalia a lot from your list.

Lyra seems to be too obviously related to a tv show and I don't like the idea of it being so obvious who the child was named after (if it's a tv show) but that doesn't bother everyone

There are other such names like Arya from Game of Thrones

I’ve never seen Braveheart. I’ll try and google it!

I've never heard of a Lyra in a tv show. It's a name we came across in a names book and both liked.
We don't watch much TV.

I also just realised that I left one of our names off of our original post!

If anyone wants so say where Ellis would rank with the names in my OP, it's also a contender.

I love Thea, strongly dislike Lyra. The rest are alright.

Ellis is alright too. I know one who gets confused for Alice, if that would bother you.
