Ohh I love Reya but it’s a bit to similar to my name otherwise I’d add it to the list

Emmy - ok as a nn for Emma
Reva - no. Is it Ree-va or Rey-va?
Maya (May-a pronunciation) - too many Mays, Mias and Maias around
Summer - rhymes with Bummer
Romy - not keen
Neeve - naff

I absolutely love Neeve, but prefer the Irish spelling Niamh. I also think Maya is really pretty. I’m not that keen on Romy, as to me it sounds too American, but like the others.

Emmy - don't like this, it's too cutesy. I'd use Emily / Emma / Emmeline / Emilia etc with Emmie as a nn. Reva - really don't like this but no reason why, just doesn't appeal to me Maya - you'll always be correcting people who assume it is MY-A. It's a nice name though. Summer - awful Romy - even worse Neeve - it's an ok name but not spelt like that. The correct spelling is Niamh or, if you must, Neve (as in Campbell or McIntosh). Neeve looks like you don't know how to spell it.

Not hugely keen on any of your names, sorry OP. Must just have different taste.

I love Summer.
A really pretty, happy name and reminds me of my favourite season.
I really wanted to consider it for my incoming baby girl but my husband says no :(

Maya (especially with your pronunciation) is my favourite of your list, although I personally prefer the look of the Maia spelling. Not especially keen on your other choices - although I like Emmy as a nn for Emmeline and Romy for Romola or Romilly.
