My thoughts:

Ava- Beautiful, but very common

Addison- trendy

Adelaide- Love this, but with nn Addie, it might get lost in the sea of Madeline's and Addison's

Abigail- Classic and beautiful, but also popluar

Aspen- Not my style, my not horrible

Avery- trendy

Claire- Classic

Daisy- Very cute, but might not age well

Eden- trendy

Emersen- not my style

Finlee- Finley is better, but not my style

Giselle- Very French...

Gracelyn- I would prefer just Grace, the -lyn makes it sound trendy

HARPER!- Unique

Ivy- Like it

Kenzie- Ok, seems more like a nn

Kinley- trendy

McKenzie- Ok

Madeleine- Love this name, but it's very popluar

Madisyn- trendy

McKinley- trendy

Meredith- Classic and beautiful, and also not very common

Paisley- trendy

Parker- too unisex for my taste

Piper- Spunky and cute, but I have a hard time picturing a grown woman named Piper

Pippa (don't like full name to be Phillipa, just Pippa)- Always reminds me of a series of book I used to read when I was young about a monkey name Pippo... can't really get over that connotation

Presley- Trendy

Reese- Cute, might not age well

Ruby- Adorable

Rowan- Ok

Scarlett- Beautiful

Sophie- Would prefer Sophia, very popular

Wow - you have wide-ranging taste in names! Here are my thoughts:

Ava - So pretty, so popular; if popularity doesn't bother you, it's a great choice: feminine but not cutesy, very classy.

Addison - nmsAA: way trendy, will sound dated soon, and too plain/nondistinct for my taste

Adelaide - I prefer Adelaine and Adeline, but Adelaide is nice, too.

Abigail - See Ava

Aspen - This one does nothing for me.

Avery - I'm too bored of this one.

Claire - Pretty, simple, feminine, nice

Daisy - Some think it's too nicknamey, but I like it.

Eden - OK

Emersen - See Addison

Finlee - See Addison

Giselle - Nice! Gigi would make a cute NN.

Gracelyn - The -lyn totally destroys the classic beauty of Grace for me.

HARPER! - Meh

Ivy - Nice

Kenzie - See Addison

Kinley - See Addison

Kinsey - See Addison

Kinsley - See Addison

Lexie - Way too nicknamey for me.

Lucia - Pretty!

Lucianna - Nice

Lucielle - Meh

McKenzie - See Addison

Madeleine - See Ava

Madisyn - See Addison

McKinley - See Addison

Meredith - OK

Paisley - I know it's popular on name boards but way too cutesy for my taste

Parker - Meh

Piper - Meh

Pippa (don't like full name to be Phillipa, just Pippa) - Pippa as a FN is WAY too nicknamey/cutesy for me, but it's a cute NN. I've seen it as a NN for Penelope, too.

Presley - See Addison

Reese - Meh

Ruby - Nice!

Rowan - Meh

Scarlett - OK

Sophie - See Ava

Shiloh - I like it!

Stella - Nice

TATUM! - Meh

Tailor - Meh

Victoria - Nice, not a standout but pretty

Veronica - I like it and seldom hear it.

Violet - Nice! Violette (vee-o-LET) is pretty, too.

Here's my 2 cents.

Ava: Very classic, but also quite common.

Addison: I don't get it. It's just so very male!

Adelaide: Lovely...far more interesting way to get to Addie.

Abigail: Lovely, but quite common.

Aspen: I just remember this icky perfume someone gave me a bottle of in college.

Avery: I prefer it on a boy...it's just not interesting anymore on a girl.

Claire: Lovely, but quite common.

Daisy: I like it, but I can never get over the sense that it's too cutesy for a given name.

Eden: I don't know why, but it always feels a bit low-class...maybe like giving your child a luxury name like Tiffany or Crystal tends to be a bit downwardly mobile. Not sure if that's it exactly. But it's not a bad name.

Emersen: Again, it feels so incredibly male. And I really dislike altered spellings.

Finlee: Finley/Finlay is a male name. I find the -ee ending too cutesy to be taken seriously.

Giselle: An absolute stunner--both classic and uncommon.

Gracelyn: I like Grace, but this just feels mish-moshed.

HARPER: Well, I know you like it. I find it a bit austere, but it's a very strong and well-rooted name.

Ivy: I love this. It's short, it's simple, it's sweet, but it's not precious.

Kenzie, Kinley, Kinsey, Kinsley: These are virtually indistinguishable...way too cute and a skosh predictable right now.

Lexie: Not as a given name--too juvenile.

Lucia: Lovely.

Lucianna: Honestly, all I can think of is Luciano Pavoratti. It's a nice enough name, I just prefer the simpler Lucia.

Lucielle: I like Lucille...is that what you mean?

McKenzie: Too cutesy and much, much too done.

Madeleine: It's common, but it's a classic.

Madisyn: I've never understood how Madison caught on so strongly--it first showed up on a girl in "Splash!" and it was a joke because the mermaid chose it as her name because she was too naive to realize that it wasn't a girl's name. And the y...no, thank you.

McKinley: McKinlay Cantor was a great writer. I'd prefer this on a boy.

Meredith: It's okay. It's always felt a bit '80s power-suit to me.

Paisley: It could work on the right kid. But it's not for everyone.

Parker: Only on a boy (Parker Posie aside.)

Piper: I liked it more when it was uncommon. And never with a sister named Harper.

Pippa (don't like full name to be Phillipa, just Pippa): And I don't like just Pippa--it's too juvenile sounding for a full name.

Presley: I find it weird to use surnames where the most famous bearer was a man--Kennedy, Reagan, Presley--on a girl.

Reese: Prefer it on a boy.

Ruby: Lovely...classic yet quirky. Got a lot of spunk.

Rowan: It's okay on a girl, but I find it more interesting on a boy.

Scarlett: With Scarlett Johannsen being the "It" girl right now, it feels derivative.

Sophie: I prefer it as a nn for Sophia, but it's all right.

Shiloh: My first Shiloh was a boy (or a dog, or a Civil War battle site,) so it always feels off to me on a girl.

Stella: Charming, but increasingly popular. Actually, this is my car's name.

TATUM: Again, I know you like it. It's more flighty than Harper, but it's quite nice.

Tailor: Job title, not a name. Taylor's doable, but a bit tired.

Victoria: Not my favorite classic, but it's nice.

Veronica: I'm getting intrigued by this one of late. I think it would be more fun than a lot of the overdone contemporary names.

Violet: It's lovely. Getting a bit more play in the current trend of flower names, but it's not ubiquitous.
