[Opinions] Re: I'm back with an interesting list ;)
I love Chloe, and I've always had good luck with the Chloe people I know.
Eva is a family name - an aunt who didn't have a mn. I prefer Eve or Evelyn, and I don't enjoy Rose, especially when hyphenated.
Tahnee looks like a Disney invention. This site says it's a version of Tawny: not in my accent, it isn't.
Grace is risky. Like a tone-deaf Melody, a Grace who's always falling over her feet would be unfortunate. I know a lovely Grace, whose brother used to call her Dis when they were kids, and she never minded ...
Angel is a title or, perhaps, an occupation. Angela is a name, and quite a nice one.
Summer! There's a Canadian Olympic athlete whose names are Summer Mackintosh, and my family keeps on joking about climate change. I don't like season names.
Kiko and Yuki are outside my language and environment. I'd be happy and interested to meet them, but I'd only consider using the names for, say, pet parrots. And I don't like the idea of pet birds, so I wouldn't, anyway.
