Hmm, this is an interesting mix! I like a number of names from you list, and I have some thoughts on a few of them, so I wanted to share all that with you. I'm still not sure which one I would actually pick from your list--I'm on the fence about a number of them.
Okay, here we go, lol:
Delilah-- I like this one! I think it's exotic...a little sexy, too. I am wondering though, is it a little too much sex appeal, both Desiree AND Delilah. In one way, I think they "go" together, but in another way...I just wouldn't want them to go too much in the direction of "set of exotic dancers". But I really do love the name!
Janelle--It's not a favorite of mine, but I think it goes well with Desiree. I think it definitely makes a very, very nice pair.
Nyasia--ooh!! I LIKE this one!! :-) Typically, my own personal thought about sisters and names is that if one name ends in "a", they all should, or if your first one doesn't end in "a", none of the others should, either. But in this case, I think Nyasia and Desiree BOTH have an exotic quality to them. I really like the name a lot. Great choice!
Genessy-- Reminds me of the alcohol, Hennessey (sp?). Also, it seems a little masculine to me, but I could be influenced by the name of my mother's childhood imaginary friend (Johnessy). Maybe something like Genessa? Jenessa? Janisa? A little similar, but still different....
Gabrielle--goes great with Desiree. This is a pair that "makes sense". And yet each name is timeless, classy, feminine--just lovely! (However, if you're looking for unique/different, Gabrielle is not it!)
Skye--seems very different than the rest of the names on your list. I like it, but don't quite understand where it "fits" in a way. It's nice, but wouldn't be a first choice. I also think that Skye with "Destinee" seems a little contrived b/c both are "word" names... (not too "uncommon" of a name, either...I've seen it being mentioned a number of times...but it's still not a very common name)
Angelique--oh yes, this one is wonderful! Again, this type of name makes "sense" with Desiree. I like it a lot! ;-) This name is not too unusual, but it's certainly not over-used, and what adds to its charm is that it's not over-used, yet not completely unfamiliar!
Kailani--oh, this is GORGEOUS!! I really, really love it! The only thing is, it sounds a bit like a "Hawaiian island" name, and I don't think that Desiree has the same sound to it, so if you want a name that "goes" with Desiree, I don't think Kailani is it. But I think it sounds just heavenly!
Congrats on having such a great list to choose from!
Best of luck!
