Willow (hoping to use this if I have a girl)---I like this name a lot, but the only Willows I know are fictional characters. However, I don't think any are soooo amazingly popular that your daughter will have to explain that she's not named after them all the time....So, go for it! It's unique and lovely.
Iris--I really dislike this name, especially because I dislike girls names ending in S and names beginning with I. So, Iris is on the very bottom of my list.
Lily--Cute and pretty, but waaaaay overused. Stick with Willow, it's much more unique.
Zara--This is pretty, but I know a Zarra who constantly gets her name mispronounced.
Amelia---Eh, I'm indifferent. It's not really striking or different or anything, it's just kind of blah.
Camille--I like this as a middle name only.
Isobel--Again, I don't like I names, but this one isn't horrible except there are too many Isobels, Isabelles, Isabellas and all variants running around already.
Ava--Short and sweet, but too popular for me.
Esme--I dislike this name, the way it sounds and look.
Eden--Very pretty, but I like it as a mn again.
Maeve--Lovely! I also like Maeva. One of my top combos is Lydia Maeve
Niamh--This sounds pretty but looks ugly to me.
Xanthe---This used to be one of my favorite names, and I still like it. I love all Greek names though.
Darcy--Too 80s for me, but still kinda cutesy.
Juniper--This name is growing on me, but it was actually my great great uncle's name, so I can't help thinking it's masculine.
Alexandra--Classic, but again, blah.
Phoebe--Cute and sassy, not one of my faves, but nice.
Alyssa--I love this name, especially for it's nn potentials.
Ariana--I like Adriana better....or Aubriana
Dahlia--Very pretty, and unique, though it seems to be getting a fan following right now.
Guinevere--Nice, but I prefer just Gwen.
Eve--Classic and sweet sounding, but I like it as a mn more.
Vera--All I can think of is Vera Wang or Vera Bradley. So no for me.

I like these combos:
Willow Xanthe
Maeve Willow
Alyssa Guinevere
Dahlia Maeve
Phoebe Camille
Xanthe Camille


Jasper (hoping to use this if I have a boy)--Manly and roles off the tongue nice. Might be teasing potential though...
Seth--Very classic and underused name. I like it a lot. Seth Jasper is a strong, inspiring combo!
Noah--Too popular.
Micah--Sounds too girlish for me, you have much stronger choices.
Isaiah--Eh, not my cup of tea. Ian is the only I name I like for a boy, and I don't even like it that much.
Caspian--See Jasper, same rules apply.
Josiah--Not terrible, but not wonderful.
Fidel--Please don't use this.
Caden--A little trendy. Not awful though.
Felix--Very traditional, not my fave, but unique.
Oscar--I really don't like this name and there's lots of teases to be had from it.
Nathaniel/Nathan--I love both of these. To pieces.
Alexander--See Alexandra. Although, popular names for boys don't bother me as much....Alexander's nice.
Levi--This name and other names like Eli just look...unfinished to me. And sound that way too.
Julius--Bold name! I also like Junius.
Matthias--More unique than Matthew, but I don't really like it.
Jonathan--Okay, but rather boring. John is more widely used, but also more masculine for me.
William--Waaaay too overused right now. I can't even think of all the little Williams, Wills, and Liams running around.
Christian--Okay, but a little feminine for me.
Caleb--Very nice and underused. This should be at the top of your list with Seth.

I like these combos:
Seth Jasper!!!!
Jasper Julius
Nathaniel Felix
Caleb Alexander
Seth Alexander
Jasper Alexander
Julius Nathan

Camille- love this one as a mn. I like Camilla as a fn and prefer it to Amelia
Isobel- I really love the sound and meaning of this name. Also, almost any mn will work with it. Prefer Isabella
Ava- This one is lovely and classic. I prefer Eva (pro Ay-va) because of the original latin spelling and pronun.
Esme-absolutely gorgeous and I loved it far before Twilight. I also like Esmee :D
Eden- Gorgeous! This name is near and dear to me because I'm a Christian and we believe that one day earth will be restored to Eden, so this one is very special :)

I love:
Isobel - Beautiful! Love this spelling.
Alexandra - Strong, classic, feminine
Dahlia - Gorgeous!
Eve - Love it's simple charm.
Caspian - Exotic/romantic
Felix - Nerdy-cool, one of my ultimate favs!
Matthias - Along the same lines as Caspian
William - Strong classic!

These are great:
Willow - Soft elegence
Iris - Simple & a nice alternative to some of the more popular floral choices
Lily - Beautiful name it's popularity deters me
Zara - I refer Zahara but I like its spunk
Amelia - Sweet
Camille - Very pretty. Makes a great middle name.
Ava - See Lily
Esme - Unexpected
Eden - See Willow
Maeve - Pretty
Xanthe - This is a guilty pleasure for me
Ariana - I prefer Aria but this is nice too.
Guinevere - I prefer Genevieve, like it as a middle name only maybe a bit much as a first name
Jasper - Nerdy-cool, love it's nature vibe
Micah - Spunky
Isaiah - One of my fav Biblical names
Josiah - Prefer this to above
Oscar - A guilty pleasure for me. Like the potential nicke Ozzy.
Alexander - Strong
Julius - I prefer Julian but this is nice too.

Ehh:
Niamh - I see potential problems with pronunciation. I don't care much for the sound.
Phoebe - I can't get past the Friends association.
Alyssa - Boring zzzz
Vera - Harsh, no appeal for me
Seth - This bores me
Noah - Nice name but has been done to death. I like Joah.
Nathaniel - Ehhh.. just ok
Nathan - I prefer this to above
Levi - I think of the jeans
Christan - I actually really like the sound of the name but I'm not fond of it's religious connotations
Caleb - See Nathaniel

I'll pass on:
Darcy - Very unappealing. Harsh, not at all feminine or pretty sounding imo.
Juniper - I love nature/floral names but this one is over the top
Fidel - uhhh... Castro?
Caden - Uber trendy, done to death, so sick of 'aden' names
Jonathan - Dated, boring.

You have some really great names here!!
