Heidi

Hello!

Sybil - I really love it, it should make a comeback. It's so cool and mysterious. But I would spell it Sibyl, like the word. Sybil is fine too, though.
Imogen - feels sort of tired and a tiny bit dated. I know it's Shakespearean but I met a few born in the 90s and 00s and even though it wasn't extremely common I associate it with women in their 20s. I also don't like the sound. It doesn't sound very pretty to me and I dislike Immy as a nickname (I know an Imogen "Immy"). It also makes me think of "image" and "innocent".
Merryn - it sounds sort of harsh and old to me, sorry. Like an old witch or elderly woman.
Ramona - I never really liked the sound. I prefer just Mona even though depending on your accent it may not sound nice. I prefer Romy, Mona or similar names.
Sabrina - I like it. It's cool and witchy. But it is 80s dated where I live and many people associate it with mean girls here for some reason (I have asked about it on boards). Sabina is nice!
Lois - I don't get the appeal of this as it sounds incredibly ugly to me (sorry!). I like older names but this one doesn't appeal.
Sienna - I love this but I prefer it as Siena (like the city in Italy). Sienna makes me think a bit of Sienna Miller and I am not a fan.
Tess - too harsh.
Dora - sort of cute. Dora the Explorer.

Sybil- I don't like it personally
Imogen- it's ok, bit bland
Merryn- lovely
Ramona- not for me
Sabrina- nice
Lois- not a fan
Sienna- meh
Tess- love it, and Tessa
Dora- the explorer

Other suggestions-
Miriam
Mari ('marry')
Zelda
Camilla

Sybil... Fawlty towers

Merryn...also frumpy
Ramona...a bit too cool
Sabrina... gorgeous
Lois.... love it
Sienna...so lovely but becoming very popular and has down-market associations unfairly imo.
Tess...plain
Dora...quite sweet

Sybil - hell no
Imogen - gorgeous, timeless
Merryn - not keen
Ramona - not keen
Sabrina - witchy
Lois - nope
Sienna - pretty
Tess - classic
Dora - swiper, no swiping

I love Lois and Tess. Others are ok.

Sybil & Imogen are the only ones that stand out to me & they're not overused too.
Dora would get called Dora the Explorer I think.

Sienna is nice too but quite popular imo.

Sybil - hell no Imogen - gorgeous, timeless Merryn - not keen Ramona - not keen Sabrina - witchy Lois - nope Sienna - pretty Tess - classic Dora - swiper, no swiping

😂 to the swiper reference 🦊

Imogen and Sienna are too popular, hear it a a lot. Not a fan of Sienna.

Sybil is awful.

Like Sabrina, Tess and Merryn. How about Tarryn?

The ones I like are Imogen, Merryn and Tess.

What about Ingrid?

Consider Ellen, Helena, and Carmen.

Sybil - no
Imogen - ok but not really exciting
Merryn - unusual and cool, I like the sound of it. My favourite from your list
Ramona - no
Sabrina - no
Lois - I like it
Sienna - no
Tess - no
Dora - I like it

Other suggestions..

Juliet
Tabitha
Neve
Ruby
Ember
Matilda
Alycia
Coral
Esther

Sybil - no Fawlty Towers
Imogen
Merryn I find it a bit clunky, but I think it would grow on me.
Ramona Nope, Definitely not.
Sabrina the Witch

Dora The Explora

I guess that leaves us with Imogen! Which I do actually like.

Sybil - strongly dislike
Imogen - ok but I don't like how it looks written with 'mog'
Merryn - I like it
Ramona - I quite like it
Sabrina - not a huge fan
Lois - dislike but mainly due to a personal connotation
Sienna - lovely but very popular in comparison to many of your list
Tess - my favourite
Dora - sweet

Sybil - no
Imogen - lovely
Merryn - maybe. I prefer Meredith
Ramona - ok
Sabrina - no
Lois - maybe
Sienna - ok
Tess- lovely if short for Esther or Theresa
Dora - no

Finding the reactions to Sybil quite amusing. I love it and reckon it's due a comeback, but I'm clearly in the minority! Love Billie as a nn.

Sybil- faulty towers
Imogen- not a fan
Merryn- no
Ramona- like. Would nn Romy
Sabrina- teenage witch
Lois- family guy
Sienna- miller
Tess- meh
Dora- I like, but know lots don’t and it’s the explorer!

Sybil - not a fan
Imogen - really love it
Merryn - my favourite from your list, I absolutely love it
Ramona - love it although my first thought is the Ramona Quimby books (not a bad thing)
Sabrina - teenage witch, especially with the more recent Netflix show as well as the 90s one
Lois - like it
Sienna - bit 00s, it’s fine but not as nice as your other choices
Tess - I like it
Dora - its nice in itself but much too “the explorer”

My favourites are Sabrina and Lois.
Dora just screams explorer to me.
Ramona even nd me if The Remones.
Sybil will always be Fawlty Towers
The others are ok.
Tess never seems like a proper name.

The Ramones that should be.

Sybil- don't love it but don't hate it, feel like it would grow on me over time.
Imogen- really like this very sweet very cute
Merryn - hate it. Feels like a pronunciation/ spelling nightmare tbh.
Ramona- unique but not a huge fan.
Sabrina- really like this.

Lois- lovely but maybe overdone in my opinion.
Sienna- not a fan.
Tess- like it but would opt for tessa as feels stronger.
Dora- just makes me think of Dora the explorer 😂 like Cora as an alternative though
