Wow.

Leonie
Leona
Leonore
Heidi
Lydia
Lucia
Maja
Marina
Martina
Nadja
Vera

Thea
Dorothea (nn Thea)
DH would nix a lot of those. He won't let me get Helena or Helen on the list, nor Lucia -- just can't stand the light I guess. ;) But he would add Gisela and Greta. He might be right about those. I only hesitate because our last name starts with the same letter.
I LOVE Thea also, esp. since it can be short for Dorothea or Theodora! Hubby is not so convinced. Boo.
