What do you think of these? Do you think any of them could be used IRL? Also which one out of the five do you think sounds the youngest/ most juvenile?

Danae
Melia
Heleia (http://www.behindthename.com/name/heleia/submitted)
Ianthe
Niobe

I like them all except for Niobe, which I think sounds like something chemical. I think they are all usable (except maybe Niobe).
I think Melia sounds most juvenile.

In order of usability:
Melia
Ianthe
Danae
Heleia
Niobe

I sort of like Ianthe, and Danae is interesting. Danae gives pronunciation issues.
I think the one that would seem best suited to a child is Melia.

I have met a Danae. Ianthe is usable, and probably Melia too. Heleia would get called Helena a lot. The story behind Niobe is too depressing.

I know a Danaea, almost the same.(age about 21.)

Melia could well be used IRL.

Niobe sounds the most juvenile, I think.

Any of them could be used, IMO. My favorites are Ianthe and Melia.

I like
Niobe-the most young and beautiful of those names

I'm neutral to
Danae-reminds me of Dani
Media-don't like the sound
Heleia-sounds too much like Helen or Helena two names in not fond of

I dislike
Ianthe-sounds too old fashioned
