Re: WDYT of these name's I'd consider naming my (hypothetical) daughter?
Ashe is a good nature name, but it still mostly sounds like a nickname.
I don't like the sound of Constance or Connie.
Dorothea is a bit better than Dorothy, which I've grown to like. Dorothea is somewhat majestic. It does have a lot of nicknames, but I don't really like any of them.
Although Juno is kind of cute, it doesn't sound particularly feminine to me. I like the Sabrina Carpenter song, but... it's very sexual and it will take me awhile to not think of the song when I hear Juno. There is also the movie called Juno about a pregnant teenaged girl. I heard it's a great movie. I wouldn't want to name my daughter anything that reminds me of virginity, sex or fertility. I feel like there's pressure in a name like that.
I like Liliana a whole lot and I love Lilly and Lillie! Not so much Lilli.
Maribelle is beautiful. I wouldn't nickname her Mari because I'm tired of Mary, which would be said the same. Perhaps I'd shorten it to Belle because it reminds me of a bell. Something musical.
Rowan is decent but I prefer it much more on boys. Owen has a softer sound, but I still wouldn't call a daughter Owen.
Yumi is a nice name, something familiar in Japan. If I were to name a child anything inside of my own language or culture, I would choose something else, though. Perhaps Rio, Shio, Kiyo, etc. because I think the sound is pretty!https://www.gofundme.com/f/restore-independence-for-a-struggling-family?lang=en_US&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_medium

I do agree that the connotations with Juno are... iffy to say the least, but people use the names Carmen, Vivian, and Samantha, despite them all having similar connotations. I'd probably just use Juno as a middle name as to not be too similar to the movie (that I forgot existed XD).
Love the nn Belle a lot as well!
I also love the name Kiyo, I just wanted to list only 8 names (... which I failed at since I mentioned Minerva...).
