Felicity would be my only yes of those. Frida possibly.

Definite yes to:
Marina - elegant, underused, Shakespearean. I know some people can’t get beyond the marine/harbour idea but I like its link to the sea.

Merryn - feels like a more tailored, tomboyish version of Marina

Alice - my favourite ‘classic’, which (to me) somehow feels less tired and bland than most of the others

Frida - strong, artsy and cosmopolitan, with a lot of character and flair

Nancy - a happy, ‘lively’ name that’s a good balance of mainstream and just interesting enough.

Neutral on:
Astrid
Tess
Rosalind - love this but hate Ros
Susanna - prefer it with an h
Josie - quite like Josephine
Lucy - but Lucie would be a no (too cutesy/twee)
Antonia - like but hate Toni

Definite no to:
Fiona
May
Felicity
Jane
Jessica
Polly
Daisy
Jennifer
Charlotte
Tara
