I dont like Thea because names that start with a Th sound just sound odd to me.

Libby I like, however you will get all and sundry on here saying you simply must have a longer version incase she becomes a High Court Judge

Matilda, I adore, and it is my favourite of all your names. I love the nn Tilda.

Willow, I like but it is exceptionally common (as in used lots) round here

Belle im not a fan of - too Disney.

Siun / Shoon again, not a fan of, prefer Sian or Shona

Matilda and Willow are lovely. I don't know of any girls called Willow so it must not be as common around here.

Matilda or Thea.

I think Belle is one of those names that gives a child a lot to live up to. Like Grace, Felicity etc. I know Belle isn't a virtue name but it's in the same category. A plain Belle? A clumsy Grace? A miserable Felicity?

Love Belle but only as a nn, maybe Isobel or Annabel on BC.

Thea, Matilda, Willow - all fine.

Libby - meh, I don't like it as a standalone name, nor as a nickname.

Belle - ok but with the meaning "beautiful" is a bit risky, I think.

Siun (can't do the accent thing) - bit tricky unless you're in Ireland.

Willow and Thea are gorgeous names. I have a friend called Thea who pronounces her name without the h sound so it's Te-a iyswim? I've never met a Willow either baby or adult.
