The only one I like (in fact I love it) is Bridget.

Bridget is such an ugly name. Evangeline will just become yet another Evie in the millions of other Evies.

Love Felicity.

I like rosalie

I like Bridget and Felicity. Bridget especially feels quite fresh, it's been a long time since I came across one! I associate ir with the cool teen in 10 rules for dating my teenage daughter.

I know a lot of Eve/ Rose variants so I'd avoid personally, including a toddler Rosalie, if you were hoping to have something a bit more unusual.

The Dutch name could be lovely but I'd need help with how to pronounce it.

I like Rosalie and Madelief and they both have lovely shortenings (Rosie / Rosa and Maddie).

Felicity is nice and Fliss, Flick, Lissy etc are nice for a child but don’t work so well for adults imo (and as it’s a 4 syllable name it’s nicer to have a more formal short version I think).

Cecily - again not keen on the short versions for adults (Cece is nice for a child).

I’m not too keen on Angelica, Evangeline, Bridget or Rosamund.

I love Evangeline and Rosalie from your list, in fact one of those is my dd middle name.

I love Evangeline, Felicity and Madelief! Such pretty names 😊

Bridget and Rosalie are lovely, both were on my list for a girl too. None of the others are overused at the moment but it'd be those two for me
