I think we have similar taste :) I love most of those, the only one I'm not keen on is Lexi (but I like Alexandra). My favourite would have to be Caitlin, followed by Lydia and Annalise.

That's quite a mixed list.

Lydia is a good solid name.

Don't like Alissia or Alessia or Talia or Annalise or Lexi, sorry.

Talia and Annalise are my favourites.

Lydia is great.

Alissia - she'll be always spelliing it which is probably a pain.

Lydia is the only decent name here.

Annalise, my flat mate married a lovely American exchange student called Annalise and I've always thought it was lovely.
Catlin is nice too.
Can't cope with Lydia, I just hear the first syllable and think of jar tops sorry.

Thalia and Lydia

Thalia with a h is actually of totally different origins to Talia even though they sound exactly the same (taa-lee-ah). If it ends up on your shortlist you might want to check out both before deciding.

Lydia is the best, followed by Annaliese.
Not keen on Talia or Lexi - they feel to me a bit too nick-namey for a first name.
Indifferent about Caitlin.
Alissia/Alessia etc - I tend to think that however you spell them your daughter will always be spelling it and correcting people. It's almost like people see the A L and S and think oh yeah, that's Al-ee-sha or summat like it!
