That's quite a long list

My favourite is Anna, by a mile. I also quite like Cora, Sylvie, Josephine and Eleanor.

Have you considered Julia, Lydia, Sadie, Tamara?

Right: will just pick out the ones I have strong feelings about.

Sylvie: too trendy' much prefer Sylvia & nn Sylvie.
Isabelle: too popular for me, much prefer Gabrielle/Gabriella.
Juliane: looks a bit made up. Much prefer Juliet/Juliette.
Eva: too popular.
Justine & Danielle: not keen, dare I say it 'chavvy'

LOVE: timeless, elegant & classic.
Anna
Elisabeth (though I would probably spell it Elizabeth)
Eleanor
Susannah.
Adele

Love: quirky & Individual.
Elise
Cora
Estelle
Calista (nn Callie)
Camille
Eloise

Dislike:
Valentina: just not for me.
Serena & Mirabelle: too frilly, prefer Seren & Miriam.
Alice: just makes me think 'A Lice'
Tabitha: is a cat.
Stephanie: think it sounds ugly. Also dislike nn 'stef'
Jacqueline: not my thing.
Madeleine: fine, but dislike ' Mads' or 'Maddie'

Blimey - why not just C&P the entire Baby Name Book

My top 5 are;

Elisabeth
Alice
Camille
Isabelle
Cora

Sylvie - I understand that lots of people like this name but I just don't get the appeal.
Elise - A bit of a non-entity, in my opinion.
Corinne (KO-rinn) - Fine.
Isabelle - Too popular for my own tastes but I can see why so many people like it.
Juliane - Indifferent.
Valerie - Not ready for a come back.
Serena - Pretty. Will remind young'uns of Justin Bieber's girlfriend.
Rose - Pretty.
Adele - Inextricably bound up with the singer in my mind.
Mirabelle - Bit too frilly.
Jacqueline - Could be ready for a comeback.
Tabitha - Like it for someone else's child but not for me.
Elisabeth - Like this spelling but would only use it if it were the common spelling where I lived.
Camille - Don't like the 'mille' ending; much prefer Camilla.
Madeleine - Can't disassociate it from the unfortunate Madeleine McCann. That said, it's a nice name. Too many ways of pronouncing it for it to be one I used.
Sophie - Fine. Know quite a lot of Sophies so it doesn't wow me but it's a lovely, sensible choice.
Juliette - Like it a lot.
Gemma - Fine. Gem is a cute nickname. I also like Emma.
Alice - Like it a lot.
Eva - Like it.
Valentina - Not very wearable but sounds pretty.
Estelle - Another singer. Prefer Stella or maybe Estella but the latter might be a bit Great Expectations-y.
Calista - Flockhart. Not one for me. Reminds me of Calypso ice-lollies.
Justine - David Milliband's wife.
Eloise - Nice. But prefer Louisa or Elodie.
Anna - Like it a lot.
Stephanie - Fine.
Eleanor - Fine.
Gabrielle - Prefer Gabriel for a boy but this is pretty.
Josephine - Like it.
Danielle - Bit 80s?
Cora - Fine.
Annabel - Too frilly.
Susannah - Love it.

Love Tabitha, Elisabeth (and Elise which could be a nn), Madeleine (my favourite!), Eleanor, and Eva. Of the others, they are also beautiful. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

Valentina is my hands down favourite from that list. I may be slightly biased though

I also like Isabelle and Cora. Gemma is my least favourite.

Sylvie- don't understand its appeal
Elise- lovely
Corinne- really nice
Isabelle- can't understand the popularity of this
Juliane- pretty
Valerie- sounds middle-aged to me
Serena- nice
Rose- classic
Adele- ok
Mirabelle- hate it
Jacqueline- indifferent
Tabitha- cat name
Elisabeth- classic
Camille- lovely, elegant
Madeleine- not a fan
Sophie- nice, very popular
Juliette- beautiful
Gemma- blah
Alice- pretty
Eva- gorgeous
Valentina- nice but long
Estelle- bad images in my head, not sure why though
Calista- very nice
Justine- meh
Eloise- pretty
Anna- ok
Stephanie- ok
Eleanor- don't like it
Gabrielle- gorgeous
Josephine- not a fan
Danielle- ok
Cora- really nice
Annabel- hate it
Susannah- ok

Serena - love it
Rose - favourite

Alice - lovely
Eva - lovely

Like
Alice
Elizabeth
Eleanor
Susannah
Anna
Sophie

All were on our girls list. And DD has 2 of them!

It's a very long list indeed but think my opinions are quite different from many of those you've had so far so have had a quick run through it for you.

LOVE
Tabitha - yes it has feline connotations, that's part of why it's a great name
Camille
Isabelle - prefer Isobel but as others have said it is vv popular at moment
Alice
Eleanor

OK
Elise
Corinne (KO-rinn) but with this spelling I'd read it as Cor - een
Juliane
Serena
Rose
Elisabeth
Juliette
Calista
Anna
Cora

Don't Like
Sylvie
Valerie
Adele
Mirabelle
Jacqueline
Madeleine
Sophie
Gemma
Eva
Valentina
Estelle
Justine
Eloise
Stephanie
Gabrielle
Josephine
Danielle
Annabel
Susannah

I guess I just don't like 'flouncy' names and not keen on 'ee' sounds at the end either.

Nice list!

My favourites are Sylvie, Elise, Serena, Elisabeth, Madeleine, Estelle, Calista, Eloise, Eleanor, Gabrielle.

And Corinne, but I'd pronounce it Co-reen not Co-rinn.

I don't dislike any of these although find Justine, Jacqueline and Valerie a bit middle aged. Isabelle, Eva and Sophie are v popular here but that may not be an issue where you are.

You might also like (not that you need more options! ) Delphine, Selina, Marianne...

I love:
Valentina
Calista
Josephine
Alice
Serena
Madeleine
Mirabelle (but spelled Mirabel)

Like a lot:
Jacqueline
Juliette (spelled Juliet)
Eva
Estelle
Anna
Annabel
Susanna
*Camilla (slightly prefer to Camille)
*Sylvia (slightly prefer to Sylvie)

Like:
Tabitha
Elisabeth
Justine
Gabrielle
Gemma
*Adela (slightly prefer to Adele)

Names that have a significant drawback imo:
Juliane - 70s
Valerie - 70s
Rose - old ladyish and not in a good way
Corinne - pronunciation - expect to hear a lot of Ko-RIN and Ko-REEN
Sophie - too popular; Sophia is also very popular
Stephanie - 70s
Danielle - 80s
Cora - middle aged Irish Home Econ teachers

El- names that will become Ellie (so I would avoid unless you love Ellie):
Elise
Eloise
Eleanor

(I have come across one Coren that was pronounced KO-rin.)

Elise is my fave from your list

Tabitha is my fave

I love Valerie, Susannah, Camilla, Juliet, Josephine - all on my list, beautiful.
Valentina is also lovely.
Alice, Rose, Gabrielle, Cora, Estelle are fine (Love Coral though)
Sophie, Sylvie, Madeleine, Eleanor, Isabelle, Anna - I find boring (although I really love Anne/Annie)
Really dislike - Jaqueline, Serena, Eva, Eloise, Stephanie, Danielle, Annabel, Justine

Like (very much):
Susannah
Josephine
Alice
Elisabeth
Anna

Hate:
Jaqueline
Gemma
