Vast majority of people will say Helen-uh

Beatrix (Bea or Trixie) - nice
Catherine (Kitty) -like Catherine, kitty is ok
Clara- lovely
Tabitha -ok
Margaret (Maggie) like Maggie
Penelope -love this

Tabitha

Maud is my favourite with Maudie as a nickname or just go for Maudie as a name .
What about Maeva or Martha ( Mattie for short)

Daphne - not my taste but ok
Octavia - not keen
Tamara - not keen
Celine - not keen - prefer suggestions of Selena, Celeste or I like Sylvie
Helena (Hel-ee-nuh) - OK
Dorothy - love
Vera - really like actually
Beatrix (Bea or Trixie) - prefer Beatrice
Catherine (Kitty) - prefer Katherine, like Kitty
Clara - ok
Tabitha - love
Margaret (Maggie) - I am a Thatcher's child so still can't bear. Like Peggy as nickname for Margaret.
Penelope - ok
Maud - OK but prefer Martha (where I live lots of little girls called Maud or Martha)

My favourites are Tabitha or Dorothy. Also going to suggest Constance which I love.

Beatrix (Bea not Trixie)
Kitty
Penelope
Maggie

Have you thought of:

Nancy, Lydia, Esme, Hester, Frances

I like Beatrix, Clara & Penelope. I quite like Maggie but not Margaret.

I like Maud and especially Maudie when she is little. Or how about Maisie or Grace but Gracie as a baby. Can you tell I like names with ie esp as a baby.

I’m going to be cheeky and suggest names that seem like your list but aren’t your list.. and hope perhaps it assists a bit:
Clara - Cara, Cora, Dora, Clarissa (ps love Clara!)
Tamara/Tabitha (which seem similar to me) - Tess/Tessa, Talulah
Helena - Helene, Helen, Henrietta
Maud (I love it) - Mari, Maureen, Marianne, Maryam (Marry-am)
Margaret - I don’t love Maggie or Mags but it calls to mind those lovely old name like Margot).

Wild card suggestions- Lisette, Julia, Audrey, Felicity, Marigold, Caliope (NN Callie), Amrit, Josephine, Josette, Bernice, Betty, Jess/ica)

Helen or Helen-a is beautiful.
not sure about hel-ee-na

The names I like on your list are Clara and Beatrix. Here are my fav girl names ones in case any are to your liking too.

Ivy
Eden
Quinn
Luna

Helena pronounced Helen a

I like these names, especially Maud.
Clara
Tabitha
Penelope
Maud

I would swap Maud for Maeve.

Daphne - not keen
Octavia - too comically posh
Tamara - possible. Not my taste but not awful
Celine - prefer Celeste
Helena (Hel-ee-nuh) - don't like that pronunciation. Prefer Hel-en-a
Dorothy - like this and Dotty is cute for a child
Vera - like this. Quite stylish
Beatrix (Bea or Trixie) - ok
Catherine (Kitty) - solid name
Clara - popular
Tabitha - love this
Margaret (Maggie) - really dislike. A cold name, to me
Penelope - Penny is great
Maud - not for a child

I love Vera, Dorothy, Octavia & like Helena

Daphne - know a couple, if that bothers you. Not hugely keen.

Octavia - no

Tamara - dated

Celine - nice

Helena (Hel-ee-nuh) - cba with pronunciation variations

Dorothy - mm
Vera - nice

Beatrix (Bea or Trixie) - nice

Catherine (Kitty) - boring

Clara - boring

Tabitha - can’t decide. Know a couple of Tabbys. Don’t really have an opinion either way.

Margaret (Maggie) - there was one at soft play today and I thought, yeah! Maggie. Nice.

Penelope - favourite of the bunch

Maud - love but only if it would suit you yourself OP. Given daughter is likely to look similar to you and have the same vibe. I for example would make a terrible Maud, nowhere near cool enough.

My view:
Daphne - no
Octavia - no
Tamara - ok
Celine - hard no (singer)
Helena (Hel-ee-nuh) - no, pronunciation issues
Dorothy - no, yes to Dorothea
Vera - hard no. Yes to Verity
Beatrix (Bea or Trixie) - yes, like it
Catherine (Kitty) - rather dull
Clara - yes
Tabitha - yes
Margaret (Maggie) - no
Penelope - no
Maud - big no

How about:
Delilah
Tasmin
Alberta (Bertie)
Elizabeth (any shortening you like, Betty rather cute)
Clementine
Audrey

Also maybe just have a top 3 ( 2 outside choices) and see what she looks like when she arrives! We did this and DH actually went for my favourite name ( but not his) as soon a he cuddled baby.

My favourites are Tamara, Celine and Tabitha.

Daphne - not my taste
Octavia -not my taste
Tamara - no ( sounds a bit 'chavy' to me)
Celine - ok
Helena (Hel-ee-nuh) - I like classic and feels strong
Dorothy - due a come back definitely
Vera - ol
Beatrix (Bea or Trixie) - not my taste
Catherine (Kitty) - ok .
Clara - like
Tabitha - in too minds! My favourite dolly was called tabitha
Margaret (Maggie) - too old lady for me
Penelope - just not my taste
Maud - I cans see why people don't like it but I actually think it's my favourite on the list!

What about fleur? Rebecca, Martha
