I don't dislike any of your names but my favourites are Joy, Julia or Erica

I prefer Martha to Margot

I'd avoid Hannah/Anna if you like in a region where people tend to drop their Hs

Martha has been vetoed by DH unfortunately.

As has April which I love.

Joy - not into virtue names
Julia - gorgeous! One of my favorites! I much prefer Julia to Juliet because the “ette” feels forced, whereas Julia is effortlessly musical. I know Julias who’ve only ever been Julia, not Jules ❤️
Nancy - hmm, not a fan, but it does make me think of the 60s and big hair, so that’s appealing... to me, it’s very dated and nasally, though 😔
Hannah - vanilla name; somewhat wet and nasally
Anna - vastly better than Hannah, but still nasally. I do love the nn “Annie” as it’s so romantic (although also somewhat nasally, I make an exception for Annie)
Penelope - never been a fan. “Pene” means penis in Spanish
Erica - I simply don’t like it
Margot - same as Erica

My favorites would be Julia and then Anna simply because you get the nickname “Annie.”

Otherwise, here are some suggestions:
Laura - romantic, strong, & underused
Lily - happy and lilting
Charlotte - “Charlie” is a cute nn
Maria (rhymes with gross things, but is oh so musical like Julia)
Susannah (glamorous and “Suki” is a cute nn)
Gwyneth - probs too tied to Paltrow

Penelope and Margot are my faves

Joy - LOVE
Julia - pretty but a little dull
Nancy - super cool
Hannah - feels dated and dull
Anna - pretty but again, a little dull
Penelope - nice, love nns Penny and Nell
Erica - don't really like but don't hate
Margot - also really cool!

I'd choose Nancy, Joy or Margot
