Might I shortly add that I am NOT pregnant. Just debating between names. And also, I do love all these names, which makes it difficult to narrow down.
These names for the most part are no more difficult than the mispelled made up names given to poor children today. Oh, and all of these names are legit, not made up. I am quite fond of mythological names, as well as names with history.

No offense, but these aren't names that you could honestly use for any reason. They all sound like mythological characters. Not names that you could honestly use for anything. Even though you aren't pregnant, I would deeply consider some names that are used for children nowadays. Not the most trendy, necessarily. But names people would actually understand.

i have always loved carys and i woould not saddle any one with the name juliette because of all the teasing they might get. I find a lot of those names interesting and i always think unusual names are great because that means you will have a unique identity :)

I love either unusual names or common names with strange spellings. With that said, I like the names Adela and Melisina.

My favorites:
Magdalen
Melisande
Melusine
Phaedra
Freya, I also like Freja
Carys
Eirlys
I'm sure you've heard of the following, but how about:
Persephone
Arwen and Aowen

Good luck to you, and I hope this helps! I tried to narrow it more, but I like quite a few! :)

Carys, and Madailéin are my two favorite. I must commend you on the great job you did of making your names very original.
