Angelica makes me think of the less than angelic Rugrats character

Felicity is the only one I like.

Evangeline with the nn Genie, or Rosalie.
Bridget is growing on me; I saw a documentary about St Bridget and she rocks :)

I really like Bridget.

Personally, I’m not keen on the others, but they are all objectively nice enough!

Is Madelief pronounced “Made-leaf” or “Mad-a-leaf”?

I have a Felicity, my third daughter. Her name means ‘happy’ she is 12 and the only one in her secondary school. I’ve always thought it was a lovely name and still do…
Her friends call her Fliss, or Lissy, which are also really cute nicknames in my opinion.

Love Cecily, my current favourite.

Like all the rest except Bridget because I used to know an absolutely horrible one!

Adore Rosamund,it’s my fave of your choices as it always sounds so “English Country” genteel yet romantic to me - but I hate the nn Roz and pretty Rosalie does avoid that ( think the nicer nn Rose is more likely for that one since people often shorten a name to the first syllable).

Cecily has a kind of similar feel to Rosamund for me so I like that too and Felicity has a boho, quirky charm.

although I think Madelief would be fine if you are Dutch , the spelling/ pronunciation would be a bit of a hassle in the UK compared to your other picks. Not keen on your other choices - Evangeline and Angelica sound a bit fancy/frilly to me, whereas Bridget goes the other way and sounds a little harsh/ plain.
