Still struggling, girls name

Posted before a couple of timea. DH is still completely indecisive about girls name and now I'm feeling undecided too. We had agreed upon Katherine but he's gone off it. He's coming round to some earlier suggestions. Any thoughts on these? Would you like/hate to be called any of them?

Zoe
Matilda
Cleo
Helena (love but worry people would mispronounce)
Juliet
Lara

For middle name, open to suggestions, we also like Zara and Sophie but can't use for first name. Sophia is out as clashes with surname.

Fab list, I like them all. I have a friend who is a Helena and it does get mispronounced (Hel-ay-na rather than Helen-a), but I love it anyway and it wouldn't put me off. My personal favourite is Lara, followed by Juliet, Zoe and Helena. All fab names and none are that commonly used, but all instantly recognisable (the holy grail of names Grin).

Oops sorry Blush

What I was trying to say there was that you have a very nice list & I'd be happy to be called any of them.

I like your whole list. Matilda is my favourite, it is an excellent name Smile

Lara’s my favourite name (it’s my dd!); I also like cleo from your list- I don’t dislike any of them, actually,

Not keen on Maltida, but othernames are nice.

Love Matilda and Helena. How do you want Helena pronounced.
If you want Hel-en-a then the above spelling is fine. If you want He-lay-na
I'd spell it Helaina. I also like Lana as pose to Lara.
I'm not thrilled about your other names
