Galilea: Saved only because you could use Lea as a nickname
Citlali: wow...just wow
Nyah: Not sure how this should be pronounced...but it makes me want to say it while sticking out my tongue and making a face :P
Sarahi: not too bad
Yuliana: hmmmmm....not too bad, either
Essence: makes me think of Shampoo
Monserrat: ummmmm...interesting...not sure if it's a good interesting or a bad interesting, though.
Lizeth: don't really like it...don't really hate it
Dayanara: rhymes with sayonara....no thank you! :P

I know a couple of Sarahis, I think it's a pretty name

Sarahi reminds me of Sarabi, like from the Lion King.

.. Dayanara reminds me of diarrhea..

Essence I like.

Nyah = sound you make when sticking out your tongue!

Citlali? Wtf? That's like.. a bunch of letters just thrown together, lol

I'm not a fan of any of them but Essence, really. And even then, I wouldn't name my daughter Essence.

Essence is horible.
Monserrat is interesting.
Dayanara sounds like sayonara to me, lolz.

The names that make it onto the Top 1000 list often surprises me. Like Athena. I love that name, both because I love the goddess and the simplistic strength and beauty of it. In 2006, it was #504. Never would have guessed that it'd be on the list at all, let alone so high.

Galilea is the only name on that list I like and would ever consider.

Mon(t)serrat ALWAYS makes me think opera, because of Montserrat Caballé (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montserrat_Caball%C3%A9). But then...I'm probably in the minority there. XD Still, not a bad reference to make!

I wonder if Nyah is pronounced "naiah" or "nyah"? The "naiah" pronunciation is pretty. I also rather like Lizeth, and Sarahi isn't bad.

Nyah is really the only name I like on that list. (And to all the above posters, I wouldn't pronounce it "nyah", I'd pronounce it "NY-ah".) I think it's rather pretty.
