Alaia - I don't like it. It looks too incomplete with all the vowels at the end.
Amandine - Don't like it
Apple - Strangely, I love it. I think it's a super cute and sweet name for a baby, although I'll feel bad for her when she's a teenager and it's not so cute and sweet, and she's made fun of for having a fruit as a name.
Ava - Too overdone, now.
Chester - I like it.
Cosima - I don't like it.
Iris - I don't like it.
Mabel - Love it.
Ripley - Believe it or not?
Satchel - Mean
Tallulah - Love it
Truman - Love it
Willow - cute
Zola - Eh. Don't really like it. I like Zora, and Zoe, but Zola not so much.

Alaia - Nice
Amandine - Don't really like the sound. It's a bit chemical/prescrition drug sounding.
Apple - Has grown on me since first hearing it, but I think it's better as an affectionate nn that a legal given name.
Ava - Nice
Chester - Could work on the right person, but it's nothing I'd use.
Cosima - Too gypsy/fortune-teller sounding.
Iris - Nice
Mabel - Don't like the sound. It makes me want pancakes and syrup. I always think maple.
Ripley - Ugh, I hate this. My old hairdresser used this for her daughter and I was at such a loss for words when she told me. "That's uh... different."
Satchel - Purse, Handbag, Sack, Suitcase, Luggage... yeah, no Satchel either, thanks.
Tallulah - Very pretty sounding. I like it a lot.
Truman - Too presidental.
Willow - I like a lot of nature names. I love willow trees. But for some reason, I hate this as a name. I think of such an ugly passive boring girl for some reason.
Zola - Z names tend to scream "look at me! I'm so spunky."

Alaia- I'm not sure how this is supposed to be pronounced..but if it's like Aliyah, then i guess it's pretty.
Amandine- no
Apple- I used to love it, but I don't like it now. It's one of those names that is cute for a little girl under the age of 8. Older than that, it's just..ugh.
Ava- love it
Chester- for a dog
Cosima- no
Iris- no
Mabel- awful
Ripley- no
Satchel- nooo
Tallulah- eh it's alright.
Willow- meh
Zola- no, reminds me of zoloft when i'm saying it

Tallulah- i love this!

The majority of these makes me glad I have no notions of becoming a celebrity, as I might catch Teh Crazy when it comes to naming my future children.

Alaia Well...I think it would be better Alaya, if it has to exist.
Amandine Someone is going to be called Amanda most of her life
Apple Ugh.
Ava Beautiful and classy
Chester Was suggested for Britney Spears's boy because of how many cheetoes she eats.
Cosima Sounds like a disease.
Iris Better than others, but not my style.
Mabel Reminds me of makeup
Ripley Believe it or not, I hate this name.
Satchel Reminds me of baseball before a bag, but still not the greatest.
Tallulah Should only be used for pets.
Truman I'm not a fan of last-names-as-first
Willow Pretty, but not my style
Zola Zoloft?

I really like Amandine.

Mabel isn't my favorite, but its actually a nn for the old Hebrew name (used by a lot of the puritans in Early America) Mehitabel, which I do like.
