I marked off my least favorites with a short reason why. I don't mean to be harsh with my comments at all.

 

Alyssia - hard to pronounce and just not my style

Arie

Ayla

Berlin

Briar

Emberly - sounds dated and very joking

Hanley - trendy and doesn't have much of a history

Ilana

Kellyn - I debated marking this one off, but ended up doing it because of the spelling. Kellen is nice.

Kira

Roxana

Ryann - not sure how to pronounce it?

Savina

Shyler - Is it supposed to by Schuyler? If so, I like it. If not, too made-up for my taste.

Vanna

 

The rest in ranking:

1. Ilana

2. Briar

3. Ayla

4. Arie

5. Vanna

6. Kira

7. Berlin

8. Savina

Alyssia - I like this one but I think their might be some pronunciation confusion
Arie - This is cute but it makes me think of a store, if there aren't Arie stores near you or you don't mind the association I'd go for it
Ayla - LOVE this one adorable
Berlin -This one feels a little too harsh for a little girl in my opinion
Briar - I think with the right middle name this one would be Perfect it feels like a name that needs something more if you know what I mean
Emberly - I really don't like this one it feels kind of trendy and made up
Hanley - I actually don't mind Hanley, I don't love it and I don't think I'd use it but it's nice
Ilana - This name is beautiful, different but still recognizable.
Kellyn - I like this name but the only time I'd heard it until now it was on boys and spelled Kellen. My brother plans to use it for his son, so it definitely feels more boy to me
Kira - Spunky cute and uncommon but familiar thumbs up from me
Roxana - I've had Roxanne on my list for ages i prefer Roxanna with two n's but still love it
Ryann - this feels like a boy's name to me no matter how its spelled (thats assuming pronunciation is like Ryan)
Savina - This is cool I like it but I think there might be a little Savannah confusion
Shyler - don't really like it sorry it feels like a mix between Shiloh and Skylar to me
Vanna - It's alright I don't think the Vanna White connotation will ever go away though

Thank you all for the opinions. They really helped. Especially the lists and the comments. I will look at this list and rearrange some names and stuff. Question, if a name has questionable pronunciation or spelling (like Alyssia) could I just use it as a middle name? Middle names aren't used that much so why should they be purposely easy to spell and pronounce you know?

[pinkmonkey23]

Alyssia - I think if you want the name then maybe to spell it Alicia / Alycia or Elisia/Elicia

Arie - like aria without the a.. Hmmm - might be more for a middle name spot

Ayla - I do like this it is the unusual spelling of Isla... 

Berlin- not my style and its not a place name i think is nice for a girl.

Briar - i like this but not with the rose as a middle.. ultimately can be a middle name spot also

Emberly- The E version of Amberley no doubt.. Have you thought of Amberlin/Amberlyn

Hanley- Different im guessing hanna and lee smush.. It more of a middle again i think.. 

Ilana - Ilana there is also Iliana both nice names

Kellyn - This is nice.. Also going to suggest Kerren/ Kerryn

Kira - My cousin is called Kyra.. Nice name.. lol 

Roxana- Nice name Roxy as a nn or great middle too

Ryann - Is this RYan with an extra n or is it RHI-ann i think i prefer the Rhii-ann version to ryan i see ryan as a boy only name.

Savina- Different take on savanna

Shyler- this name is one of those names that will never get a popular vote.. its too inbetweeny from skyler and shiloh i say if you like one have it but not the middle not keen on it.. Shiloh i do like.

Vanna- Pretty i like it .. 

 

I hope i didnt offend xx
