I only like the names Amy and Clare!
I'm fond of Baran, Clem (as a nickname), Clare, Harriet, and Iris.
I'm curious about the etymology for Finula.
I like:Clare
Elis (I prefer the spelling Ellis)
Eris
Isa
Lila (I prefer the pronunciation LIE-lə for this spelling, and the spelling Leela for the pronunciation of Lee-la)
I don't like Baran on a girl (too close to barren). Caritz sounds too close to carrots. Clem on a girl is not attractive (hopefully it is short for Clemence). Finula on a boy is an interesting choice (why not just Finn or another masculine variant?). At first I was drawn to Senaria, but then I realised it was too close to scenario and it also sounds more like a fantasy place name.I like Elijah, Iris, Amina and Zahra. Clare (prefer spelling Claire but Clara overall) is ok. Prefer Ellis to Elis and LIE-la to LEE-la. Harriet, Amy are ok. Isa might grow on me, but it does look like a nickname.
