Philomena's pretty, but a bit "much" for me.
I agree with Array regarding Koryn's spelling: it's very datable, very "young", and very trendy. Moreover, I consider Corin a male name only. Corinne or Corinna (or even Corina, if you want a feminised form of Corin) are both beautiful names for a girl though.

I think you meant to use the spelling Philomena, unless you purposely chose to spell it "creatively." While I don't care for the name (I think of the word philharmonic), I prefer the spelling of Philomena, as the other spelling is very odd looking. The spelling Koryn is extremely trendy, adding the y and spelling and spelling it with the K. Interchanging those letters does not make the male name Corin feminine (go with Corrine if you must use the name). I don't care for the name, anyway (I don't like the sound of it). Cora is very pretty and feminine, instead.

Philomena is one of my favourite names, but Philimaina looks weirdly made up to me. It also looks rather like it's Philimania--a love of mania? While I adore Philomena, Philimaina seriously doesn't do it for me.
Koryn is WAY too kreaytifly spelled for me. If it sounds like Corin, why not spell it that way? By adding in uber-trendy letters like K and Y, the name is instantly dated; everyone will be able to guess how old she is. Moreover, since Koryn is so bizarre looking, it could hurt her in future professions, particularly if she plans on being something serious.
I don't really like Corin so well for a girl--for me, it's very much a boy name. I do like Corinne for a girl (so long as you don't spell it Corrine).

Like I said in the last post, I accidently spelled Philomena wrong.
