Abigail - I think of the salem witch trials with this name, which I think is kind of trendy. Abigail goes well with 1 syllable names: Abigail Joy, for example. From your lists, I like Abigail Ilse.
Hannah - I hate this name. Sorry. It doesn't go with anything. I DO love her story though...and I would pick a name like Joy to go with it too. I know a Hannah Kathleen.
Jael* - Ew. It sounds masculine to me, and I think of the Top Model girl.
Leah - Love this name. Leah could go with a long name, like Melisande.
Lyida - Did you mean Lydia? Reminds me of the Amish, which is fine. 1 syllable mn.
Naomi - Naomi Roisin, Rowan.
Tamar* - so beautiful. This name needs a really feminine mn.
Damaris - not so into this...maybe nice with Rose, Joy, Ilse, etc.
Elizabeth - The best name that goes with everything, imo. Elizabeth Joyce is nice.
Janae* - ew. So 1980s.
Persis - sounds very Greek...and masculine.
Phoebe - cute! Long, lovely name. Or Pheobe Quinn. That's cute too.
Priscilla - Roisin again.
Amira* - LOVE this. Amira Vivienne is nice.
Adina - With the mn Quinn, so cute!
Amara - SOOOOO lovely! Amara Joyce, Amara Leigh, Amara Faith
Sarai - LONG and lovely again. Sarai Josephine, Sarai Rosalind

Melisande* - This is nice.
Phadre/Phaedra (FAY-drah)* - too weird for me
Bronwynn^ - precious...and trendy
Lorelei - so cute with Ruth. (thunderofsins from this comm should have her very own little Lorelai Ruth by now!)
Adelaide* - so cute!

I already commented enough...

First of all, any name with A and E next to each other is instant fail. The lower case A is written like an upside down mirror image of lower case E. This is visually dissonant. ae ae ae. See? You must take into account not only how a name sounds, but also what it looks like on paper. A and E together looks like a damn jigsaw. Also, using accent marks is also instant fail. And then there's Lyida. I'm not even going to begin saying what's wrong with that name.

Besides that, they're good. I approve.

Amara Quinn?

Roisin Sarai (Just happened to like it)

ok, it was SUPPOSED to have been "Lydia" my fingers were being retards and typed "lyida" instead. oops!

and i see what you mean about the 'upside down 'e'' - never looked at it that way before. hmmm.... so that eliminates what? 4 or 5 names off my lists? still leaves me hanging with a lot left over. the accent mark is optional, i just went with the language and used it.

glad we can agree on names. :) it'll make the seduction that much easier on my conscience.

With all the stupid miss-spellings running around in this community I assumed you meant to spell it that way, even though it looked wrong. Lydia is OK just because she's that one chick from the Beetlejuice movie.
