Kept for games:
Lorena - Y'all loved this one but I didn't love it enough to keep it on the main list
Annika - Ditto above

Rahela - very serious and sour, sounds like a rattlesnake. Has a "hell" sound to it.
Agatha - the name of a distinguished great aunt who wears lilac and cravats. Makes me think of the wonderful Agatha Christie.
Rosalia - very feminine, floral, sweet, romantic.
Xenia - super cool, sleek, a bit sci-fi but also friendly. Has the X factor. I pronounce it KSEN-ee-a.
Sophia - overused, yes, but very clean and respectable. It's one of the relatively few female names with a connotation of intelligence. A Sophia would have a perfectly straight blonde ponytail, clear skin and wear a lab coat.
Heinrich - stuffy and shrill, like a Prussian general shooting pheasants.

Rahela- Rachel, but more interesting and colourful.
Agatha- Like the principal from Matilda who throws kids out windows. I don't like the 'agg' sound, or 'guthuh', so really the whole name
Rosalia -feminine, romantic and beautiful!
Xenia- good meaning and super pretty name. Xenia is an ancient name that works in any timeline!
Sophia- soft, timeless and beautiful: a name where overuse is understandable!
Heinrich- like if ketchup was a lumberjack

"Like if ketchup was a lumberjack" absolutely killed me omg 😭
f:
Rahela -- It's lovely and definitely preferable to Rachel (which I like despite decades of overuse).
Agatha -- This is one of my favorite names. It's sophisticated but doesn't lack chutzpah.
Rosalia -- It's a bit too frilly for my liking, but I don't dislike it.
Xenia -- Gorgeous, ancient, and not without mystery.
Sophia -- Respectable because of its ancient pedigree but in need of retirement after recent overuse.
m:
Heinrich -- Handsome and more interesting than Henry.

Rahela - pretty enough.
Agatha - one of my least favorite names in the entire universe. Ugly in every which way.
Rosalia - beautiful name! Takes the flower and makes it fairytale-like!
Xenia - I prefer Xena, but it’s still very cool!
Sophia - lovely classic. Can’t go wrong with it.
Heinrich - I like this name. It spruces up Henry.

Rahela - prefer Rachael
Agatha - is fine but Aggie isn't. Mn only
Rosalia - frilly and fussy; prefer Rosalie
Xenia - Zen- of Zeen-? Don't care really: it just seems unmemorable and dull
Sophia - love it if it's sophEYEa, not if it's sophEEa
Heinrich - fine if you're German; pretentious if you aren't

I've never heard of the prn sophEYEa!
British English, though with Europe on one side and the US on the other, sophEEa is taking over.
Me neither.
