All lovely names, except Verity which I have never liked for some reason. My favourite is India, followed by Lilah, although I prefer the Lyla spelling.

People are saying they like Briar. Am I thinking of the completely wrong thing? I'm imagining a briar bush, which is a thorny prickly thing you do not want to fall into! Or how I'd describe someone in a bad (prickly) mood "don't go near Sarah, she's like a briar bush today"

Me too, I’m thinking of a bush also

They are all beautiful - you can't go wrong :)

The only tricky one internationally might be Briar, it might be confused for Brian the same way Edie could be Eddie and Noa sound like Noah. But no big deal im sure!

Verity - hands down.

I like Verity, Olivia and Grace. India is unusable nowadays. Lilah is a bit bland but OK. Briar I’m not sure about. In stories it’s often called Briar Rose, so it does have a fairytale image about it. Maybe it’s fine. Not much different to Holly.
