Leonora - like
Helmi - ok
Thisbe - not sure
Lumi - dislike
Anouk - not keen
Viola - ok
Stephanie - quite like
Jessamine - dislike

Zachary and Leonora are my favourites

Lumi is a software platform, so I would avoid that personally. I don’t like Anouk or Helmi, but the rest are fine.

Zachary - very popular. Will beZac or Zach.
Elliott - ok but it will probably get misspelt
Christian - too religious
Caleb - fine
Lachlan - fine in a Scottish accent
Henrik - ok but will get mixed up with Henry

Isadora - not keen
Hebe - like but it will get mixed up with Phoebe
Leonora - not keen
Helmi - not keen
Thisbe - the Verse
Lumi - too lightbulby
Anouk - ok but too French. Annie is nicer
Viola - 'he/she rapes' in Spanish, Vee or Vi?
Stephanie - ok but dated
Jessamine - ok but prefer Jasmine and Jessica

I like Zachary and Caleb. Elliott seems to belong to the previous generation really. Lachlan seems very Australian - think it's popular over there? Don't really like the sound anyway.

Jessamine is gorgeous and unusual too. Viola is nice, so much better than Violet. Quite like Leonora, or what about Leonie? Hebe, no, heeby-jeebies, rhymes with Phoebe which I prefer. I do like Stephanie, but a lot of people might perceive it as dated.

Zachary - dull to me
Elliott - it's nice, feels a bit dated but not awfully so, I prefer the Elliot spelling
Christian - I actually love Christian despite being non-religious, but really don't like Chris
Caleb - it's fine but not that interesting
Lachlan -fine but not that interesting
Henrik - I like Henrik, I'd probably assume Scandi heritage
Isadora - love it
Hebe - I like it, everyone I've spoken to hates it though
Leonora - it's fine
Helmi - not a fan
Thisbe - really like it
Lumi - love Lumi. My husband vetoed because he thought I said Halloumi
Anouk - not a fan
Viola - not a fan
Stephanie - being brutal, I have no idea what a name as dull and dated as Stephanie is doing on this list when there are other beautiful and interesting names
Jessamine - I really like Jessamine

Zachary - fine name
Elliott - I like this one the best
Christian - I like this one, but may be dated
Caleb - don't like this one and I don't like the meaning
Lachlan - this is my second favorite
Henrik - I think Henry is better
Isadora - love this
Hebe - dislike this
Leonora - this is second favorite from your list
Helmi - I'm not fan of this, but this is first time I heard of Hemli as a name
Thisbe - my favorite
Lumi - I prefer Lumina, but Lumi is nice too
Anouk - I also love this
Viola - prefer Violet
Stephanie - love this, love the meaning - "crowned"
Jessamine -.love this, but prefer Jessamy

Zachary- yes and I like zach
Elliott - yes
Christian - yes but not keen on chris
Viola - yes, also like Violet
Stephanie - yes
Not keen in the others

They're all really nice with the exception of Caleb, which is not to my taste, and Lumi, which is a new and heavily advertised all-over body deodorant. If it isn't sold in the UK now, it probably will be in the next few years.

Lots of great names!

Are you Finnish, by any chance? Since you have the names Helmi and Lumi on your list.

My favourite from the boy list are Lachlann and Henrik.

I can't choose from your girl list - they're all lovely (except Lumi, as mentioned).

Love these :
Zachary
Lachlan
Viola

Not keen on your other names sorry.

How about:

Violet
Xanthe
Paloma
Nefeli
Camille
Eloise
Zara
Ava

Isadora
Hebe
Leonora
Helmi

I like Zachary, Elliott & Caleb, don't mind Lachlan.

Not as keen on your girls names, sorry. I prefer Violet to Viola.

It's kind of impossible to comment as the cultural range is so wide. Where is the starting point?

From my English UK perspective, I wouldn't consider any of these names.

Elliott and Caleb are lovely. None of your girls are my kind of name but maybe Lumi or Viola.

Zachary - like
Elliott - love, think it sounds handsome and scholarly some how
Christian - nice
Caleb - underused
Lachlan - fine
Henrik - cool

Isadora - I like Isolde, Isobel more
Hebe - not for me
Leonora - I like Leo and Nora more separately for some reason
Helmi - not my style
Thisbe - ok
Lumi - like Luna more
Anouk - LOVE favorite name on your list
Viola- like Violet more
Stephanie - love the nn Stevie
Jessamine- Jess/Jessie is cute but not keen on the whole name
