Tia - Tiana, even though I find Tiana itself a little bit NNishMillie - MilenaMia - Demetria, even though I find Mia too far-fetched a NN for Demetria. Tilly - MatildaMac - Mackenzie. It's extremely trendy, but I still kind of like it on a boy because it's not overused as a boys' name.Remy - Remy. I like it as a full name.Toby - TobiasCam - CameronAs for the others...Ebba - NMS. I just don't like the way it looks for some reason.
Honey - Dislike it. It's sounds like a stripper alias, or a dog's name. I don't care if it's used as a NN, but I don't like it as a full name because it doesn't sound sophistocated and serious enough.
Torin - OK. I don't have strong feelings either way, really.
Lalita - Love it! I've recently discovered this name myself, and I just adore it. It has a fun, melodic sound to it, but it's also elegant, and very beautiful.

Tia: Tiamat I suppose, though it really is a bit much. (Tiama didn't catch your eye? Pity. It's so much warmer than Tiana.)
Millie: Eumelia is nice.
Mia: Demetria! I love Demetria.
Tilly: I love both Ottilie and Matilda.
Mac: Based on that list, Mackenzie I guess.
Remy: Just plain Remy.
Cam: Eh...Cameron I guess.Honey sounds a bit stripperish. Lalita is a bit too like Lolita, and it has the same sexualised air. Torin is weird, like you have trouble saying Tobin. Ebba's nice.

I'd chose
Tiana
Mila
Euphemia
Matilda (love this with Tilly)
Mackenzie

CameronObviously i love Ebba! Honey is sweet but not sure i would use it on a child more a pet name imo. I also like Torin a lot but not keen on Lalita.
