Cannot decide between these names

Hi everyone, we have recently welcomed our third child, a baby girl (5th of May) and still cannot decide between 5 names: Nora, Leilani, Margot, Milana and Selene.
We already have two older children who are Elliott and Felicity, and we have decided that the middle name shall be Collette.
Thank you so much for your help

Margot
I like Nora and Selena but Leilani is just too floaty and wafty. No guts. Nora and Margot sound so much stronger. I dont like Milana. Would honestly prefer simple Melanie to Melana. Magaly sounds like it would be both to your taste and would go well with Felicity

Leilani is gorgeous

Selene Collette is beautiful.
Leilani is pretty.
Milana I'm not a fan.
Nora- No.
Margot- I really, really dislike.

I love the name Nora - prefer it spelt Norah. Selene would be the next best choice, though I prefer Selena.

Spied · 09/05/2021 16:49

Selena or Selene

Margot or Nora. Nicest names and go best with your other children too.

RachelRaven · 09/05/2021 16:49

Lora Nora.

DinosaurDiana · 09/05/2021 16:49

Margot I love. Used to work with a really pretty, kind woman with the same name.

RachelRaven · 09/05/2021 16:50

Ffs that was supposed to say love Nora!

HumphreyCobblers · 09/05/2021 16:50

Nora. Strong and elegant.

CatCup · 09/05/2021 16:50

Nora!

SleepingStandingUp · 09/05/2021 16:50

Nora or Leilani

Could Collette be the first name? I think it's nicer than any of the others. Of the other names, I like Margot most or maybe Selene (or Celine?)

Habbyhadno · 09/05/2021 16:54

Margot!

custardbear · 09/05/2021 16:55

Margot abs Nora both sound very harsh names so don't like for that reason
Milana is nice and a bit different, Selene is ok,Leilani I've always liked as it's pretty,, bit like Lauralei

Soulstirring · 09/05/2021 16:56

Selene is beautiful

As8ly4yn · 09/05/2021 16:57

Thank you for your suggestions. Collette is a beautiful name but we would rather have it as a middle name as we are going to be naming her after a family member so we would like to commemorate her in a more subtle way

Nora.

Hufflepuffsunite · 09/05/2021 17:10

I like Selene or Nora.

Edenember · 09/05/2021 17:43

Norah top followed by Margot

Stevearnottsbeard · 09/05/2021 18:28

Congratulations 🎊 🎊 🎊
Nora or margot for me, I don't like the others sorry

Bergamotte · 09/05/2021 18:32

Selene, Nora or Margot are all nice.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 09/05/2021 19:33

Selene is beautiful and my favourite with your other DC's names. Your other choices sound either too retro trendy to me (Margot, Nora) or too exotic/unusual compared to Felicity and Elliot (Leilani, Milana), sorry. However if you are in the UK you'll need to like/be happy with the 2 syllable "Seh-leen" pronunciation (as that seems to be the most instinctive to people here imo). Selene Collette is lovely (possible nn CeCe if she wants?)

AnyaMoondial · 09/05/2021 19:33

Nora is my favourite. Congratulations!
