A lot of old-fashioned or '50s names here! I love most '50s names for their "outdated" sound, so I'm very happy with this particular collection. :-D

I like:
Jeanne - Only like if it's pronounced the French way. Otherwise, I prefer Jean, nn Jeannie
Grace
Carolyn
Lisa - As a nn for Elisabeth
Cynthia
Marjorie
Rosa
Jennifer Ann - Prefer Anne
Lorraine Ann - Like both names, but not together. Prefer Anne
Julie Lynn - Prefer Lynne or Lynna for a girl
Martina
