Louise - classy, understated elegance. Keep.
Rooney (f) - unpleasent, grating, unredemable. Ditch.
Gregory - quietly charming, quietly handsome. Keep
Titus - uptight, more a character than person. Ditch.
Ren (m) - meh, not much either way.
Tara - pronounced tah-ra love, pronounced tear-ah dislike, too whiney.

Louise- a very pretty and simple name.
Rooney - not very feminine and not particularly manly on a guy either. It just sounds like a last name.
Gregory - kind of stuck up-sounding. There are better old-fashioned or classic names.
Titus- its strange to name a child this in real life. I can only think of a god.
Ren - I like that Asian Pacific Islander names with nature or love meanings can be unisex. I would love to see Ren on a guy in real life.
Tara - its pretty and not overdone. Fit for a warrior or a bookworm. A lot of range.

A god?
Louise - pleasant and low-key; better than Louisa
Rooney (f) - quite frankly, looney. Or loony. A very bad idea.
Gregory - nice enough; I dated a pleasant one for a while. I prefer Gregor: shorter and snappier and less Catholic.
Titus - I only think of a line from a very vintage detective novel: the characters are theatre people at a party, and one of them has been drinking too much. Another one murmurs to a friend "If So-and-So has one more brandy, he'll be Titus Andronicus"!
Ren (m) - no doubt OK in its natural habitat. Where I live, in one of the local languages it means 'race': perdewetren = horse race.
Tara - The harp that once through Tara's halls the soul of music shed ... and then there's GWTW. Not my scene at all.

Louise- a classic, and a feminisation of Louis which is a classy european name.
Rooney- don't like it. too reminiscent of Wayne Rooney.
Gregory- yes, it's heavy, clerical, and a bit russian, but it's a genuine classic.
Titus- while it has negative historic conotations (to me, as a jew), it sounds strong. I imagine a burly Yoruba man when I hear this.
Ren- MC Ren of N.W.A?
Tara- pretty cool.

Tara- pretty cool.
Louise - whiny, stuck-up sound.
Rooney - too surnamey, not for a girl, and not a pleasant sound.
Gregory - I’m not a huge fan of G or O sounds in names, so I think this name is ugly.
Titus - I don’t really have an opinion on this one.
Ren - I see this as unisex, but it’s alright.
Tara - absolutely lovely name!

Louise - Solid classic, not too popular
Rooney - Leaves sort of a sour taste in my mouth
Gregory - Another solid classic, has not yet been condemned to "old people" territory
Titus - It makes more sense for a character
Ren - Short and sweet, I love it
Tara - Familiar and extremely versatile
