    Kendall

    Opal 

    Samara 

    These are the only ones worth keeping, IMO. I actually really like Opal, and Giovanna is decent. Samara and Kendall are okay but nms. The rest on your list were way too out there for me.

    This list is not a joke and they are all real names according to the name books - a lot of names sound pretty to me but I'd hate to have my child go through life with everyone else making fun of it- thanks for your honest opinions!

    We clearly have VERY different styles. Since I couldn't pronounce half of them, I'm not really a fan.

    The only one I think is okay is Samara, but I can't say it without thinking of that horribly scary child with long dark hair climbing through the television with blood dripping from her mouth. (The Ring).

    Samara is the only one I actually like.

    The rest are NMS and most of them, I think, are horrible.

    These are the only ones on your list worth keeping, IMO.  The others are terrible.  None of the four above are exactly my style, but they're ok.  The others, not so much.  Sorry.

    If a lot of these names sound pretty to you, you must have prego brain.  Most of the names are atrocious.  Good thing you're getting advice.

    Adrastea- bad, just bad

    Apollonia- sounds like a p0rn star

    Arella- doesn't roll off my tongue well and appears to be Kr8tive 

    Giovanna -very nice

    Golda -sounds like a fat girl's name

    Kendall- I knew too many Kendall's so this name is 'ruined' for me

    Laufeia - huh? (bad)

    Lexine- nms but better than alot of these others you have

    Losana - weird

    Nabila - reminds me of labia

    Nadira- ok

    Najia- nms

    Neriah - looks made up or some version of Nevaeh

    Netana- is ok but I think would look flow better as Natana.

    Nimah - too easy to make fun of.. nimrod, etc

    Nurya - nerd

    Opal - 'old lady' name- but I like it

    Orla - ugly

    Rubina - nms, but is ok

    Samara - ok

    Saskia- seems too 'foreign' to me

    I'll agree with most of the other posters and say that for the most part, these names are NMS.  But Kendall and Samara seem to be my favs.

    I like Orla, Thora, Giovanna and Saskia.

    The rest are just a little over-the-top or obscure - and I like obscure names, but many of these just don't have a nice sound to them, IMO.
