Names for a girl - what do you think of...?

Have been snooping on Pgwithno3's thread. We too are stuck on names for a girl. Have picked out some of my favourites from her thread and added a couple that I've been thinking of. Middle name will definitely be Marie (it's a family thing) and I may put Claire in as well).

So - reactions to...(listed in no particular order)

Florence / Flora
Frieda
Juliet(te)
Nancy
Valerie
Christina
Ellen
Elsa

Wouldn't be averse to something a bit more Scandinavian as I'm half Swedish and DS has a Swedish name - but I have decided that's not going to be the primary focus of our quest for a name, although suggestions are welcome.
