Olivia vs Emilia: Olivia but Emily would win over Olivia.
Stella vs Estella: Stella. Estella feels too elaborated.
Emma vs Emily: Emily. Emma feels bland.
Eliana vs Juliana: neither but Juliana if I had to.
Julia vs Elena: Julia, it's a long time favorite.
Clara vs Chiara: in English-speaking context, Clara.
Sylvia vs Lydia: I love Sylvia but Lydia is growing on me.
Lara vs Zara: Lara. Prefer Zahrah to Zara.
Juliet vs Violet: Juliet, no contest. Violet is cute but very immature.
Ruby vs Ivy: I guess Ruby but I like them about the same.
Eden vs Evangeline: Evangeline but I'm not big on either.
Lucy or Eleanor: Lucy is a long time favorite, and I'm tired of Ellie names.
Noemi vs Naomi: Noemi. Naomi has always sounded too Japanese to me.

Olivia vs Emilia: Olivia is better than Olive, and Emily is better than Emilia
Stella vs Estella: Stella. Estella is needlessly complicated
Emma vs Emily: Emily. Emma sounds hesitant.
Eliana vs Juliana: Juliana, though I don’t like it much. I like Eliana much less
Julia vs Elena: Julia. It has no pronunciation issues
Clara vs Chiara: Neither. Clare is better than both
Sylvia vs Lydia: Sylvia is both elegant and outdoorsy. I dislike geographical names.
Lara vs Zara: One is as bad as the other
Juliet vs Violet: Juliet is the only Juli- name I like, and then only as a mn. Violet hovers between sentimental scented flowers and, almost, Violent and Viola/Violin
Ruby vs Ivy: Dislike jewel names and plant names: I is not the best start for a name, so Ruby scores
Eden vs Evangeline: Neither. Eden is silly and Evangeline is far too long. Eva or Eve would be better. Plus, my mother had a school friend named Evangeline and called Vangie
Lucy or Eleanor: Both are lovely; I always wanted to name a daughter Lucy
Noemi vs Naomi: Naomi. Noemi would spend her life teaching spelling and pronunciation to one and all
Christina vs Vanessa: Vanessa is dainty and cheerful; I’m not a Christian so Christina would not be suitable
Isla vs Lyra: Neither, but Lyra has fewer pronunciation issues and the Philip Pullman books are good
Dante vs Andre: Andre is widely used where I live, and better than Andrew; Dante is over-ambitious
Nathaniel vs Benjamin: Benjamin, nn Ben, or Nathaniel, nn Nathan. Neither on its own
Xavier vs Leo: Having heard too many Eks-Ayvias, it’s got to be Leo
Julian vs Lucian: Julian; Lucian would shorten to Lucy or lengthen to Lucy-Anne
Orlando vs Alonso: Orlando; Alonso looks unfinished
Adrian vs Sebastian: Adrian all the way! Where I live, Sebastian is very down-market
Isaac vs Jonas: Isaac starts with I, which I think is a bad beginning. Jonas shortens convincingly to Joe: I’d rather use it and take the risk of it shortening to Jon Arse
Silas vs Titus: Neither. Starting with a Sigh is as bad as starting off Tight
Carlos vs Emilio: Carlos shortens to Carl, which is fine. Where I live, Spanish names aren’t used, so people would instinctively hear Emilia
Elijah vs Isaiah: Not a fan of biblical names: if one must, then Elijah
Ethan vs Noah: Ethan. At least it doesn’t start with No

Emilia
Estella
Emily (not really a fan of either, Emilia is better)
Juliana
Elena (not really a fan of either either)
Clara
Lydia
Lara (tho I do like Zara)
Violet
Ivy
Evangeline
Eleanor
Naomi
Vanessa
LyraDante
Nathaniel (tho Benjamin is just fine, it's the blander of the two)
Leo
Julian (not a massive fan of either, they're not terrible but neither's really my style atm)
Orlanda (Alonso has TV associations that haven't quite died out in the UK)
Sebastian (Adrian feels so elderly to me, I've heard Sebastian on a kid and it made me cringe... but it's the better of the two still)
Isaac
Titus
Emilio (prefer Emil)
Isaiah (Elijah is harsh)
Ethan (Noah is nicer but it's far too dull - to its detriment - these days)

Emma
Eliana
Julia
Clara
Sylvia, but it's a tough choice
Lara
Violet, but I like both
Ruby, but I love both, really tough pick here
Eden, because I love Edie more than Evie, and Evangeline would rhyme with my last name.
Lucy
Noemi
Christina
Ugh I hate Isla and Lyra equally..... Isla, I guess. I'd pronounce it like the Spanish word, though.Dante
Nathaniel, but I hate them both
Lucian
Alonso
Isaac, because I love Ike
