Right: will just pick out the ones I have strong feelings about.

Sylvie: too trendy' much prefer Sylvia & nn Sylvie.
Isabelle: too popular for me, much prefer Gabrielle/Gabriella.
Juliane: looks a bit made up. Much prefer Juliet/Juliette.
Eva: too popular.
Justine & Danielle: not keen, dare I say it 'chavvy'

LOVE: timeless, elegant & classic.
Anna
Elisabeth (though I would probably spell it Elizabeth)
Eleanor
Susannah.
Adele

Love: quirky & Individual.
Elise
Cora
Estelle
Calista (nn Callie)
Camille
Eloise

Dislike:
Valentina: just not for me.
Serena & Mirabelle: too frilly, prefer Seren & Miriam.
Alice: just makes me think 'A Lice'
Tabitha: is a cat.
Stephanie: think it sounds ugly. Also dislike nn 'stef'
Jacqueline: not my thing.
Madeleine: fine, but dislike ' Mads' or 'Maddie'

That's quite a long list Smile

My favourite is Anna, by a mile. I also quite like Cora, Sylvie, Josephine and Eleanor.

Have you considered Julia, Lydia, Sadie, Tamara?
