Which are your favourites out of these pairs of names?

Which is your favourite and least favourite of all and why, if possible?

Also, do you know any under 5s who have these names and do you think any of them are about to have a surge in popularity?

Thanks

Daphne Daphne Daphne

Mainly because my dog is called Daphne and I think the name is fab and definitely due a comeback.

I also like Helena as it is a timeless classic, as is Juliet.

Don't know any under 5yos with these names (if you don't count my dog)

I did teach a German girl called Juliet a couple of years ago, she will be about 10yo now.

I like Cassia - wanted it for last pregnancy - but DH didn't like it.

I know of one Isadora under 5. I think I know most Juliets - but still not that many.

I think my favourite pair would be Penelope and Cassia, though I'm also drawn to Daphne.

I don't know any under 5's called any of these names, Cassia is my fave (come to think of it I do know a cat called Cassia lol!)

I don't dislike the others they just dont inspire.

Helena is nice, quite classy sounding then maybe Isadora. Although Isadora sounds a little like an aunties perfume to me IDKW?

The pair I like most is Juliet and Helena. I don't like Daphne or Isadora. Cassia is OK and I would use Penny rather than Penelope. I know of no-one aged 5 or under with these names.
