Thoughts on my long list?

There's no baby and won't be for a while, but I'm still interested in opinions on my long list. Most of these may be a little unusual, but that's my general style. I've cut out all the names that I like, but are unusable due to pronunciation issues or associations with people I know.

I might have done this already, but a few days ago I posted a thread about long lists. If you haven't posted on it all ready, feel free to post your long list on there. I'm gonna create a flow chart on the most popular to the least popular out of all the lists.

[numina]

Adanna
Adara
Aderyn
Aeliana
My favourites are--
Aveline- Ooh haven't heard Aveline before really. Adeline, Ada, Ava, Evelyn but not Aveline! I think she's pretty...my only criticism is that she blurs in alongside all these other names a little
Bryony
Cecilia- Soft sounding, girlie but weighty
Delphine- Elegant, streamlined
Elspeth
Estelle
Finola
Gwendolen- Bryony and Gwendolen are names made for partnership. Swoon
Iris- Graceful and light name....but one which makes an impression. Lovely choice
Petra- Petra and Finola would make wonderful sisters
Rowena
Saskia
Sylvie
Willa- Beautiful, and underused
Xanthe- Ditto. I never hear this one! Very nice choice

Ones I think you should ditch--
Valeriana/Valerie- The latter reminds me of celery..the former reminds me of frilly celery
Zelda- I just think fortune teller
Gillian- For this one, I think 50 year old secretary
Bethan- You have a list of such beautiful names, and Bethan just is not ever going to enchant (in my opinion)
