A lot of names on your list I really liked for their originality, but others sounded a bit silly to me. I couldn't picture it on a little girl, or especially an adult. My favourite first name from your list is Zohara- it sounds so strong and makes me think of an independant woman who can hold her own. Quite the opposite, when I hear Ocean or River, I think of a wimpy, flighty little girl. I don't think Eden is the right name for you either, as its becoming popular. I like Phoenix as a mn and Seren and Ember as mn's. Therefore my fave combos are Zohara Phoenix, Zohara Seren, and Zohara Ember. My second fave as a first name is Ember.

I can't in good concience vote for any of these names -- imo these trendy "nouns as 1st names" names just don't look right or flow well, plus they'll seem dated very quickly. If you're dead set on one of these names, I'd recommend using a more traditional 1st name and using the noun name as a mn.

Isn't Seren the poison gas that killed people in the Tokyo subway?

I'm sorry but I really didn't like any of them except I do know a little girl named

River Meredith and she's adorable. Maybe I wouldn't like it as much if I didn't know her. Good Luck.
