Passable:
Acacia -I know someone named this. Her nickname is Casey. I like it
Amaranth
Ametrine (a type of quartz)
Aspen -I used to like this more. It's the name of a character in a YA dystopian novel
Autumn -I do like this
Belladonna -sounds nice, and could go by Bella, but the actual associations make it unusable
Beryl
Cadence -I actually like this one. Sounds a bit like Candace
Briar- Makes me think of sleeping beauty (Briar Rose)
Calypso
Canna
Cedar-I know a lot of Cedars but I don't really like it
Celandine -this is actually quite pretty
Cerulean -not awful
Bryony -not bad
Clemency -I tend to like virtue names. But I would far prefer Mercy
Dahlia- makes me think of Delila. It's okay
Daisy- I like this one
Cricket- the name of a character on the tv show Hart of Dixie, so it seems slightly less weird to me
