Skylar is awful (and was commonly used for boys in the US and Canada).
I like Aurora, because of the Aurora borealis. The others I'm neither here nor there, although I don't think I would personally pick any of them.

I have a Sianna- chose that as an alternative to sienna 18 years ago.

I like Aurora and Summer, not massively keen on the rest.
I much prefer Skye to Skylar.

I prefer Skye to Skylar too.

Skylar sounds a bit Star Trek/Star Wars to me.

Savanna is nice but not for everyone imo

mathanxiety · Yesterday 01:04

I like Sienna, Piper, and Summer. The rest - meh.

Really dislike Darcie - it's 'arsey' with a D.

mathanxiety · Yesterday 01:08

Suggestions-
Haven
Eden
Saskia
Winter
Winona
Hallie

Aurora nn Rory. Lovely name.

Office of national statistics you can search every registered girls name. We did this when our little one was due to be born. Thousands of names. Hours of fun 😊. Go with what you like.

I'vw worked with a few children but haven't met a Summer or Avery from your list but have met a few children with the other names so I don't know if popularity affects your decision.
Again ONS tells you popularity of the names too.

Skylar Really not keen on this.
Avery Don’t like, I do like Aubrey.
Piper-My favourite
Nova 5th choice
Savannah 2nd choice

DefiantRabbit9 · Yesterday 15:24

Autumn and Nova are the stand outs to me. We were actually considering Autumn if we have a girl.

Manthide · Yesterday 16:58

Don't really like any of them! I think OP has chosen the most lightweight 'modern' names she could find and written them down. I prefer
Willow
Wren
Hazel
Amber
which have a similar vibe to me.

Firebird83 · Yesterday 20:00

They’re all a bit downmarket to be honest.

GingerBeverage · Yesterday 21:23

Not sure OP is coming back

Echobelly · Yesterday 21:54

Harper -a bit meh, feels sort of overused
Summer - pretty
Darcie - also pretty
Autumn - Nice
Sienna - Also nice
Aurora - I have a soft spot for this
Skylar - feels a bit cheesy and American
Avery- OK
Piper - a bit like Harper, but not as overused
Nova - a bit tacky
Savannah - Ditto
