Annaleigh (Ona-lee)

Eliana

Scarlette

Emilia

Olivia

Autumn

Aria

Waverly

Everleigh

Hope this helps! :)

I would trade out Valeria (reminds me of a desease since it rhymes with Malaria) for Valentina. It has the pretty and exotic sound you are looking for

Voted :)

-- Anya - short, sweet, a kind of exotic twist on Anne or Anna

-- Athena - very strong name, I prefer Penelope, Daphne, or Ariadne, but Athena is nice!

-- Avalon - I can't honestly say enough about how classy and beautiful I find this name!

-- Elise - this name is very classic and pretty, but is it more common than you might like?

-- Fiora - I like Fiona as well, but it is more common, certainly.

-- Johanna - are you saying joh-HAH-nuh (a as in car) or joh-HAN-nuh (a as in can). I love love love the former :)

-- Nadja - I put a :), but this isn't really my favorite. What do you think of Freyja/Freya, Katja, or Dahlia?

-- Petra - It kind of sounds like the beginning of the word petrify (if said PEH-truh vs. a girl I knew who said it PAY-truh), but I like the name anyway

-- Soraya - something about this name is just very beautiful!

-- Summer - I voted it up only because I like the name (and (500) Days of Summer, I am a Zooey Deschanel fan), however it isn't exactly exotic

-- Valeria - I say vah-LEH-ree-uh, now that I say it, it does rhyme with malaria, but the name is so pretty!

Voted :/

-- Alessa - seems like a creative spelling of Alyssa/Elissa, but not exactly its own name

-- Ayelet - I wasn't sure what to make of this name. It was sort of part Ayla part eyelet (as in eyelet lace)

-- Azura - I originally said no, but it has grown on me. Would you be saying it ah-ZOO-ruh or ah-ZYOO-ra or something else entirely? (I say the color azure as AH-jher with a sound like the g in 'beige')

-- Callista - I'm not a big fan, but it certainly is interesting! The meaning is really pretty though (and Lissy could be a cute nickname, I am rethinking its placement!)... what do you think of the name Caoimhe (more phonetically spelled Kiva, Keeva, or Keva), it also means beautiful and is a gorgeous Gaelic name

-- Crista - this seems sort of commonplace.. I can't really think of something similar sounding that isn't just a variation in common usage!

-- Dakota - just not my style

-- Kara - I only voted this down because it's a bit boring. What about Kaia or Kaija (pronounced the same)?

-- Mayumi - I don't know if you are Japanese, but.. see below!

-- Nayeli - Either a Native American name or and Aztec name. The meaning is precious, but I'm not sure how comfortable I would feel using a name outside my culture that isn't already in common usage. If that doesn't bother you, then go for it, I love the sound of the name!

-- Nikita - I'm not quite sure on this one. I associate it with the tv show (which I don't watch, but to know about), it's not a bad name, though, has an exotic feel. I'm sort of back tracking! What do you think of Nicola?

-- Odessa - I just like some of your names on the list better!

-- Tia - I find the sound of this name just a bit boring... What do you think about Thalia (THAY-lee-ah) or Talia?

-- Valetta - it's a bit like wallet and valet ( like parking) to me. It's not that it's a bad name, but I just think you have some other beautiful names on here!

-- Zena - not my style

My favorites from your list: Avalon, Anya, Johanna. Re-voting to include: Azura, Nikita, and Callista on the :) list. Good luck! (let me know if you like any of the suggestions!)
