Like:
Isla
Alma
Rosa
Ruby
Nell
Rosalind
Elowen
Lillian

Don't like:
Nelly (the elephant?)
Romilly
Ocean
Teigan
Karenza
Demelza
Guinevere

Lillian is the nicest there imo

I like Rosa, Ruby and Romilly out of that list.

I love Ruby. The others are all Ok.

I particularly like Lillian.

Thanks. You love all, none you don't? We must have the same taste!

I like Ruby, Nell, Romilly and Elowen.

Isla, Rosa, Rosalind and Lillian are ok.

The rest are a big no from me.

Isla - lovely if you don’t mind the popularity
Alma - quite nice. A tiny bit fuddy duddy maybe?
Rosa - classy, classic (maybe a tiny bit bland compared to some of your ideas?)
Ruby - love this - full of feisty charm
Nell - I like this - simple, classy, underused and pretty
Rosalind - a bit dated
Romilly - a bit trendy but I like it anyway and it has brilliant nn options
Ocean - too hippy for me
Nelly - prefer Nell with Nelly as a nn
Elowen - lovely (could she become another Ellie though?)
Teigan - a bit dated and less classy your other ideas
Karenza - not keen - Karen with “za” on the end
Demelza - a bit dated / witchy to me
Lillian - ok, a bit dated to me (prefer Lily, Lilia etc)
Guinevere - a bit austere sounding, prefer Genevieve

I’d pick Rosa, Ruby or Nell. (Or Isla if it wasn’t so popular atm).

I like Ruby, Ocean and Lillian. Maybe Isla. Not so keen on the others.

Oh I quite like Romilly too

Rosalind is beautiful! I don't like Roz or Rosie though which might be potential shortenings. Not sure if that would push it into the middle name category for me - as a full name it's gorgeous.

My second choice would be Lillian although I prefer the spelling Lilian.

Of the others I'd consider Rosa or Karenza. (I've seen it spelt Carenza as well I think, prefer that spelling.)

Isla far too popular for my
liking
Alma a perfectly good name but not to my taste
Rosa lovely
Ruby again too popular
Nell half a name
Rosalind as above - perfectly good name
Romilly ok
Ocean just no
Nelly same as Nl
Elowen perfectly good name
Teigan dated
Karenza perfectly good name
Demelza as above
Lillian nice
Guinevere nice

Rosa, Ruby and Lillian are all my favourites.

Isla- lovely
Alma- nope
Rosa- my favourite
Ruby- but dull
Nell- I like it
Rosalind- no
Romilly- no
Ocean- awful
Nelly- not sure
Elowen- not keen
Teigan- awful
Karenza- like
Demelza- love
Lillian- no
Guinevere- awful

Top three:
Rosa
Isla
Demelza

Isla - overused. Will probably not date well. Lila also popular
Alma - wasn't it a battle in the Crimean War?
Rosa - ok
Ruby - too popular for dogs here
Nell - great
Rosalind - beautiful
Romilly - rough part of Stockport
Ocean - awful
Nelly - not on your nelly
Elowen - LON. Will get mispronounced
Teigan - tea gun?
Karenza - too frilly
Demelza - too telly
Lillian - one of me nan's pals
Guinevere - might grow on me. Jennifer is nicer

Elowen is my favourite. I also like Isla, Rosa and Lillian but they are all very popular.

Hard no to Ocean and Teigan.

I agree with the nicknames for Rosalind

I love this take. I didn't know that about Romilly! If anything I thought it may be a bit too posh! Alma was a battle but is also the Latin for soul. And is Spanish and Portuguese for the word soul. It's also a name.
I see what you mean about elowen

The place in Stockport is actually Romiley and it's not that rough, but there are nicer areas. Romilly is a surname and place name (which according to MN is not a good thing).

Alma around here is a pub in a road named after the battle. I also think of Alma Sedgwick (Corrie) and alma mater.

I like Ros as a nn for Rosalind. I know a really nice Ros, which I think is short for Rosalind, and a Rose, which is short for Rosalind.

Elowen is el-OH-wen, but will get said as EL-oh-wen/LON. It will also get misspelt as Ellowen/Ellowyn/Elowyn.
It will end up being yet another Ellie. I guess you could call her Nell if you like.

Why? I don't know anybody's middle names. Let alone hear them said "out loud" with their first names. Who does that?

OP, the one that stands out for me is Demelza - is she a character in Poldark?

Teigen seems American.

Isla - nice but popular
Alma - a bit too old lady IMO
Rosa - ok
Ruby - ok
Nell - needs to be a nickname from something else
Rosalind - dated and not in a trendy way
Romilly - a suburb of Stockport
Ocean - hideous
Nelly - the elephant
Elowen - nice, a bit different but not too different
Teigan - awful
Karenza - have you made this up? I don't understand how you'd pick Isla and then this?!?
Demelza - ridiculous
Lillian - ok, a bit old lady and not in a trendy way
Guinevere - nah

Isla - pretty
Alma - reminds me of an animal
Rosa - cute
Ruby - overused
Nell - love
Rosalind - no boring librarian name
Romilly - Stockport
Ocean - hippy
Nelly - no
Elowen - awful
Teigan - also awful
Karenza - nope
Demelza - nope
Lillian - grandma not in a good way
Guinevere - awful

Best on your list is Nell

Isla - nice but very popular. That’s for a reason but would put me off.
Alma - ok. I don’t feel anything strongly about this name.
Rosa - lovely but fairly popular.
Ruby - a bit wet to me
Nell - a nickname so I’d want a full name
Rosalind - don’t like this at all
Romilly - don’t like this
Ocean - nope! A bit airy fairy.
Nelly - the elephant packed her trunk…
Elowen - is this a name? I’ve not heard it. It sounds ok but will get lots of questions I feel.
Teigan - Tee-g’n or tie-g’n? Don’t like either.
Karenza - no don’t like this
Demelza - don’t like
Lillian - a bit old fashioned for me. Prefer Lilia.
Guinevere - nope.

I would choose Rosa from your list.
