Aumaine- sounds like a weird medical term
Constantine- too mean sounding. There’s no comfort in it, it’s only bossy.
Dariana- I guess I don’t mind it, but Daria is much better.
Dorsey- way too similar to the word “dorky”
Egon- it reminds me of Igor. Also it starts with “ego”
Enid- I don’t mind it but it’s kind of old fashioned, yet somehow sassy at the same time.
Eran- why not just Aaron/Erin?
Freesia- too flowery. It reminds me of the villain from dbz. I have a lot of bad feelings about this name I don’t feel like explaining.
Ioanna- probably Greek??
Jenessa- it sounds like a parody of names millennials have. Like. Jabecky. It’s silly.
Jeneva- I don’t dislike it any more than I dislike Geneva. The Geneva convention is not a good namesake.
Jubi- “juvie”
Kellam- I actually sort of like it. Never heard it before tho.
Keleen- meh. Same thing as Jenessa but it’s not as bad. If anything I dislike the spelling. I’d spell it Kellene if I had to use it. Keely is much better.
Kosrof- probably also foreign
Leora- I know a Leora! It’s a cool name and I think it should be more common.
Linette- I find it a little snooty but it’s alright. Not really a far cry from Lynette.
Lynarra- the “lyn” and the “arra” just… don’t go
Markiah- sounds like IKEA. Or a car brand.
Meriwether- I can only think of an old lady.
Natania- eh. Not bad, but I don’t see what exactly was wrong with Natalia that they had to put the n in there.
Nava- reminds me too much of the word “navel”
Constantine- too mean sounding. There’s no comfort in it, it’s only bossy.
Dariana- I guess I don’t mind it, but Daria is much better.
