From your list I like Cassia best. It's three syllables though, not two, but it's a name I've never heard before and quite like it!

Carla
Megan
Leanne

from your list I like Hazel, Thea, Lyra and Anja.

I hate Lissa and Clara sorry

I don't know if your Welsh or not by a couple of the names you've picked. But I know 101 Serens its a very common name.

Personally I love Anwen but I know an Anwen who when she goes over the bridge finds alot of people don't know how to pronounce it properly

delshell · 07/05/2022 11:34

Love Clara, Anwen and Seren.

KirstenBlest · 07/05/2022 12:41

Clara - not keen
Anja - Anya is better, prefer Anna
Lyra - don't like it
Anwen - a bit grannyish
Alyssa - nice but will probably get misspelt or confused with Alicia
Kaia - ok but too connected with somebody famous
Seren - don't like it
Cassia - not keen
Myla - dislike
Lissa - ok if short forMelissa
Mira - too close toMyra
Thea - dislike
Leia - Leah is better
Elodie - boring
Tilda - rice
Hazel - ok, but sounds like a middle aged woman's name

ABrightSilverLining · 07/05/2022 12:51

Love Seren.
