several of them have a strong 'children's book characters from the 80s' vibe.

I like Esme but she would be forever telling people how to pronounce it. (I like EZ-mee) but there are entire threads on here disagreeing about what's correct)

I quite like Nina, and I like Pippa for personal reasons.

My favourites are Pippa, Claudia, Cassie and Esme (not Esmae).

Least favourites are Mabel and Mabli.
