Adele - not bad
April - too 80s
Bailey - too overused
Bridget - too 70s
Bryanna - NOT Brianna (I HATE the 'bree' sound) - she will be called 'bree' anyway and have to correct people on top of it
Celeste - one of my favorite names, has the FF6 plus normal name thing going
Coraline - not too horrible
Cordelia - not my style
Emily - too overused
Geneva - not too bad.. Jenova? heheh
Harlena - not my style
Heather - too 80s
Hermione - such a popular thing to show fandom of.. it strikes me funny
Irene - too 70s, but has the Xanth appeal so that might set it off some
Iris - same as Irene
Jocelyn - eh
Joyce - nah
Juliet - eh
Kirsten - not bad
Lara - not horrible
Magnolia - nah
Megan - too 80s
Petra - very nice, plus the Ender's Game appeal
Sage - seems more male to me
Scotia - child will have to explain how to pronounce name forever
Sylvia - halfway decent, would never use it though.. VC Andrews fan appeal
Terra - love this due to the FF6 appeal, I'd likely go with Terressa and shorten it though, because she will have to say "no, NOT Tara" too often
Vera - same as Sylvia
Violet - now that a celeb has used it, it'll explode

Alexander - I hate this name but everyone else and their mom loves it
Andrew - eh, it's a name
Benjamin - eh, it's a name
Brendan - 7 out of 10
Bruce - nah
Bryan - you would probably get innovation points with this one nowadays
Declan - I know a dog named this, he's a very cute Sheltie
Drake - like baby dragon or like the brand of cakes?
Eric - most people I know with this name are asses
Frederick - same as Bryan
Gabriel - I kind of like it
Garrett - I don't like it
Gary - nah
Jasper - it's on the tip of my tongue to say "the ghost?" but I forgot why
Logan - getting overused
Travis - eh
Trevor - would be a good twin to Travis
William - not too horrible, not my favorite

combinationally:

Terra Celeste or Celeste Terra, depending on whether she's an Earth sign or an Air sign.
