    These are way over the top as first names, in my opinion, but they would be okay as middles for a very safe first (like Anna or Jane):
    Araminta, Lilac, Celestia, Olethea, Perdita, Lucretia, Philomena, Andromeda, Emerald, Amethyst, Euphemia, Dove, Justice, Olive, Tallulah. Many berries would disagree with me on those last two, but I really don't think they're very easy names to pull off and they're not well-received by the general public, in my experience.

    I think these are ridiculous, no offense intended:
    Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Fairy, Chardonne, Whipser (I get this one- it has a great sound- but I don't think it would be fair to saddle a kid with a name like that. Forever a guilty pleasure)

    These make me think you're a rabid Harry Potter fan: Sibyl, Lavender, Minerva, Narcissa

    These are dated and/or trendy to me: Cassidy, Delaney, Kennedy, Vienna, Brinley, Avalon, Ainsley, Paisley

    For GIRLS?- Dominic, Atticus, Lucius, Severus

    These aren't my taste, but not bad names: Henrietta, Harriet, Philippa, Petra, Tabitha, Celestine (though I really like this as a middle name,) Beatrix, Mathilde, Matilda, Oleta, Rowena, Odessa

    I like these: Iris, Virginia, Cecily, Veda (is it VEE-da or VAY-da?) Roma, Dominica, Santana, Josephine, Beatrice

    I love these and they're among my personal favorites: Isadora, Agatha, Verity, Cora, Willa, Violetta

    Tallulah is definitely growing on me! But has yet to reach a full on crush.
    Wednesday, Tuesday, and Sunday are interesting. I've contemplated using Monday as a name for a girl (but only if that's the day she's born on!) since DH is from Dushanbe which literally means Monday. I'm glad I'm not the only one to consider day of the week names.
    Andromeda is my sister's name and will always get my seal of approval!
    When I was researching flower names Lavender made it on to my first list. It's not on my current list but it still makes me smile to see it pop up here.
    Minerva is one of my current crushes too!
    I'm not so keen on Olive but I love Olivia (but dislike Oliver)
    Philippa is another one that's growing on me.
    Philomena is a newer crush I've recently developed.
    I really want to crush on Odessa but I just can't get over its meaning! Such a beautiful sounding name though. </3 (plus DH has nixed all Russian names in advance before we've even started TTC (bummer since I love the name Sasha, it's one of the few unisex names I like!) so I'm guessing Russian place names are out anyway, too.)

    I'm bored, I'll take on the whole list :-)

    Tallulah - I just can't take this name seriously. It's not terrible, I just really really don't like it.
    Wednesday - I don't like day names.
    Fairy (mn only) - Way too out there for me. I guess as a mn it might be ok if it has some sort of meaning.
    Andromeda - Don't like BUT Andi would be a cute nn.
    Emerald - Don't like it.

    Violetta - It's ok. Prefer Violet or other V names (Veronica, Vivian, etc)
    Sibyl - It's ok, don't really like it though.
    Beatrix/Beatrice - NMS but it's ok. Really don't like the nn Trixie if that's something you were thinking of.
    Cora - LOVE but I like it more as a nn, especially for Cordelia.
    Willa - Don't like it but it's ok.
    Mathilde - Strongly prefer Matilda.
    Euphemia - I don't like the sound of it.
    Dominic - Love it!

    Brinley (f) - Sounds trendy IMO.
    Avalon (f) - It's ok.
    Justice - Don't like most word/virtue names.
    Chardonne (prn like Chardonnay) - Really don't like.
    Ainsley (unisex) - I kinda like this for a girl.

    Roma - Roman for a boy is nice but I don't really like this.
    Olive - This has grown on me a lot!

    Tallulah - this one seems to be a big favorite around here but it just makes me giggle. I think it's silly.
    Wednesday - I'm really not big on days-of-week as names. It's just, TOO common. Like Apple.
    Fairy (mn only) - too much, even for a mn.
    Andromeda - this one is pretty daring but considering the return of Penelope and even Persephone I think it has potential, esp with the common nn Anne.

    Emerald - I like this. Better than Esmerelda
    Amethyst - for some reason it seems "low class" to me.
    Violetta - pretty frilly, I like just Violet though
    Sibyl - it's a historic name but I just don't like it
    Beatrix/Beatrice - LOVE Beatrix. Beatrice is a little boring but the X is really cool
    Cora - pretty name
    Willa - I don't really like it, though I'm okay with Willow so go figure
    Mathilde - too foreign and medieval for my taste
    Euphemia - oh my no. Looks like Euphoria
    Dominic - for a boy, I assume? Nice name, I don't love it or hate it
    Atticus - I just loathe this name
    Lucius - and I loathe most boys names that end in S
    Severus - this one has to be the worst of all of them
    Lavender - I think it could make a nice mn
    Verity - LOVE LOVE LOVE this is one of my most favorite names
    Dove (mn only) - Pretty, I like it
    Tuesday - another day of the week, feels too common
    Minerva - this name just makes me feel nervous
    Brinley (f) - I wouldn't croak if I met someone with this name but I don't care for it much
    Avalon (f) - This name intrigues me. A lot.
    Justice - I like it in theory for a boy, the little girls' clothes store is a bit of a turnoff though
    Chardonne (prn like Chardonnay) - um, no thank you. It just seems like the parents were trying too hard
    Ainsley (unisex) - Meh
    Whipser (mn only) - Whipser or Whisper?
    Narcissa - no thanks
    Cecily - I really like the way this name sounds
    Oleta - I'm not sure how to pronounce this
    Josephine - Classic, but too "old aunt" for me
    Petra - cool Bible name
    Celestine - a little over-the-top, Celeste is gorgeous though
    Dominica - the additional A makes it too much like the Dominican Republic
    Santana - for someone with appropriate heritage, very cool
    Tabitha - cute name starting to come back
    Sunday - I think I've mentioned I'm not into the days of the weeks...
    Paisley (f) - I've been seeing this around quite a bit, I can't quite get behind it even though it's cute
    Roma - just not my style. Nothing wrong with it really though
    Olive - don't like it
    Virginia - classic, old enough to be worth considering again
    Henrietta - this name is soooooo stuffy
    Harriet - nms but okay
    Philippa - much more in the "ready to come back" category, it's kind of cute
    Iris - it's okay
    Matilda - never have liked this name
    Araminta - it's okay
    Lilac - pretty mn
    Vienna - this sounds so gorgeous
    Celestia - this one is pretty
    Olethea - wow way too much
    Perdita - no
    Cassidy - Kathie Lee Gifford
    Delaney (f) - cute, WAY not my style but cute
    Lucretia - too much
    Kennedy (f) - not a big fan of surnames on girls
    Agatha - no
    Philomena - sounds too Greek
    Rowena - I kind of like this in an uber-British kind of way
    Odessa - too Greek, maybe a mn?
    Veda - sounds old lady to me
    Isadora - this one I think has potential for comeback and usability in the modern world
