-> Madeline, but I prefere Madeleine

---

John or Jon
-> I pronounce them differently

---

Vivian or Vivienne
-> I pronounce them differently
-> I prefer Vivienne /vi.ˈvjɛn/ to Vivian /ˈvɪv.i.ən/

---

Julia or Giulia
-> depends on the situation or country, but I guess, I prefer Giulia

---

Catherine or Katherine - Katharine is actually my favorite, followed by Catherine.

---

Liliana or Lilyana - Liliana.

---

Madeline or Madelyn - Madeleine, though Madeline between these two. Madelyn looks like an American bastardization.

---

John or Jon - John is the only acceptable spelling as a given name. Jon as a nickname for Jonathan.

---

Vivian or Vivienne - Either, though probably Vivian. (Vivien is my favorite here.)

---

Sophia or Sofia - Either, though probably Sophia, depending on cultural background.

---

Julia or Giulia - Julia, definitely.

---

Briana or Brianna - Brianna, though I don't care for either.

---

Elliott or Eliot - Split the difference with Elliot.

---

Brian or Bryan - Either, though I dislike this name intensely.

---

Elizabeth or Elisabeth - Either, though Elizabeth.

---

Ann or Anne - Definitely Anne.

---

Calliope or Kalliope - Calliope is much more aesthetically pleasing, I think. (It was also the first spelling I encountered, actually - I'm pretty sure Calliope predated Kalliope on this website.)
