My opinion is that they are all the conventional spelling of the names you list, which I agree with. Unusual spellings or unusual names gives a child a lifetime of having to correct people and makes unkind comments more likely.

Freya and Abigail are my favourites. I love alliterated names so that’s a plus for Freya, and I think that Abi/Abby is also a really nice shortened name. Both names are strong but also attractive sounding in my opinion.

Beatrice or Freya

I would say Naomi but I think two ee endings can be quite twee

Other than that I think they are all overdone except Rebecca which is great but I think Becca/Becky/Bex are all pretty awful and Abigail which is a bit lumpen.

So Beatrice is probably least overused of the rest so I’d go for that.
