Andrina: I'm not fond of it, or any other feminine form of Andrew.
Blythe: one of my favourite surname names! It has a lovely meaning and is neither too common nor too strange.
Cherry: okay as a nickname, disastrous as a given name.
Delphina: while it's pretty, it's far too close to "dolphin" for me.
Essence: sounds like the name of a brand, Essence cosmetics or Essence spices.
Garnet: it's okay, though I can't say it's one of my favourite jewel names.
Hester: an unearthed jewel. I love both Hester and Esther.
Isolde: the pronunciation is confusing - is it "iz-old" or "is-old" or "iz-old-ə" or "is-old-ə"? I prefer the name of her lover, Tristan (though I hate it on a girl).
Jasmine: it's kind of boring, and makes me think of the Disney princess, an association that's cute until the girl's seventh birthday.
Kendra: it's interesting, I can see a Kendra living on the Scottish Moors and talking to fairies, though I wouldn't use it on a real person.
Laureth: looks like a misspelling of Laurel (which I adore) or Lauren (which is rather boring).
Morgana: cool, but for some reason, it sounds like a villain's name to me.
Nori: a bit too simple for my taste.
Ophelia: lovely, but considering her tragic fate, it might be a heavy name for a child (I'd still encourage parents to use it)
Prudence: I actually prefer it to most virtue names, however I'd rather used it on a cat that on a person.
Queen: no. That's also how I feel about King, Duke, Prince /Princess, Royal, etc.
Roxanne: I like the song by the Police, but the name isn't one of my favourites.
Suellen: Susan and Ellen are both acceptable names, this hybrid isn't.
Theda: the d in the middle makes it sound harsh, I prefer Thea.
Ursa: sounds villainous to me.
Vespera: I can only imagine it on a fictional character.
Wallis: ugly, especially on a girl.
Zinnia: I like it! It's a fresh alternatives to Lily and Rose.
