Royalty: Royalty...because it sounds the most like a name. Lower than top 200s.
Word: Starlet... I guess? I like stars and could not think of any word names I liked that weren't already popular.
Virtue: Honesty. Sounds the most like a name, and is something good to live by. Lower than the top 200s.
Flower: Linnea. Beautiful and rare, my favorite flower name.
Religion: Eden. I've always liked it. Its pretty but not too girly.
Ever: Everee (ev-er-ay). I'd make something up because I don't like the pre-existing ever names.
Gem: Amethyst. I like purple and gemstones. Also, its rare.

I'm starting to appreciate Eden, I used to find it so blunt, but it's really growing on me (ha ha garden jokes). It's a bit fanciful, but it's so short and compact that it's kinda cute! I'm seeing it in a new light. And Edie is such a chic nickname.

1. Sovereigna - I just added an a to Sovereign to make it more feminine of course, and she could go by Reigna / Reina / Ray. And I like it more in reference to the idea of an individual's sovereign rights, not a ruler. I wouldn't use a title in real life for a child. Although I admit I do like the sound of Saint (still wouldn't use it) and I think it could work for a girl as well as a boy.2. Cadence nn Cady3. Merit nn Meri (I wonder why this is listed as only masculine in usage?)4. Marigold nn Mari or Goldie5. Faith probably6. Everelda nn Ever I guess?7. Jasper
I genuinely like Queenie, I might use that one. Or Reine, if we're allowed to use words in other languages. I had an ancestor called Reine-Marie, I thought that was kinda neat. I guess it would be easier to go through life as a Reine than a Queenie....Unpopular word name: Journey, maybe? I also like Story. Unpopular virtue name: Amor Unpopular flower name: Orchid (I've been converted)Religion word: HopeEver-word: Reverie Gem name: Ruby, Opal, or Garnet
1. Regina
2. Scarlet

7. CelestineI chose Regina because it isn't a word name. Plus, I think it's underrated.
