Elossa & Vesta

What do you think of these two names I've come across today?Elossa is a Finnish word meaning "alive". I've never seen it used as a name until today, but I think it is very "name-y": like a mixture of Elon and Elissa?I spotted Vesta in an obituary: the full name of the deceased was Vesta Vellamo which I find beautifully alliterative.~*~*~*~kuin metsäorvokki laaksossa

They’re not that bad but they sound like characters from Shera

Can't say I care for Elossa my brain goes to floss on that one. Vesta is nice enough, very Roman, Vestal virgins and all.

Elossa is pretty, but I do prefer Eloise.
Vesta is okay but I can’t stop think of vests. According to this website, it’s a Roman cognate of the Greek name Hestia, which I definitely prefer!

Elossa is unique, but I prefer Eloise to it.Vesta is beautiful. I heavily associate it with the minor planet Vesta. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/4_Vesta)
