Love Alicia (as in al-lyss-i-a), so pretty sounding.
Imogen is also a favourite. Like all the others apart from Allegra and Saskia.

Allegra and Honor imo both under used names that are pretty and classic.

Ines is pretty and I have known lovely ones mostly in Germany though.

I do like Imogen or saskia at all
The others are all a bit too popular for my taste nice enough names I just prefer more unusual ones

I love Allegra! We considered it for our daughter, but we are American and it’s the name of a common allergy medicine.

Great list!!

Alicia - ok, would you pronounce it ‘alissia’ or ‘aleesha’? I’ve heard both but only like the first one.
Allegra - lovely, unusual although could be seen as a bit pretentious
Honour - spell it Honor but love it
Inez - prefer Ines, I think unless you have a Spanish connection it’s a strange choice
Elise - ok
Saskia - love it
Freja - prefer Freya, lovely name
Imogen - lovely classical name

OK, if I had to pick one it would be really hard but I think I would go for Saskia.
