Of yours for use as a first name I like Augusta, Annabella, Isabella, Sabela, Ermengarde, Adeline, Philippa, Violet, Gisela, Helena, and Ariane. I also kind of like Raina or Reina and Salome.
But I prefer Augustina to Augusta, Arabella to Annabella, and Violetta to Violet. I prefer the spelling Anabella to Annabella, Sabella to Sabela, Gisella to Gisela, and Arianne to Ariane. I also like Giselda about equally to Gisella.
My favorite of mine are Felicia, Georgina, Francesca, Alondra, Apolline, Yolanda, Philomena, Rosaline, Rosalind, Carmen, Maria, Octavia, Regina, Leonora, Caterina, Catalina, Josceline, Miranda, Cassandra, Teresa, Jacinth, Jacintha, Aveline, Adeline, Gisella, Giselda, Isabel, Isabella, Augustina, Arianne, Arianna, Annalisa, and Arabella.
I’d be fine using any of the ones that I like of yours. Philippa I kept wanting to use earlier as a mn but it would also make a great fn. The only names of yours I don't like are Alix and Carly. Carlinda or Carlina or something like that with the nn of Carly would be fine though.
