I like all of them except Hilaria, because it's too close to hilarious, and Septima is perhaps too associated with the number seven to use unless she were a seventh child, or maybe born on the 7th.

I like quite a few of them, but I have to say that Prisca has become a favorite as of late. I just think that it's so cute and it could totally be used today! Plus I'm of Italian heritage so I think it would be neat and special to use a Roman name instead of just an Italian one. =)

Antonia
- Very strong. Always preferred Maria Antonia to Marie Antoinette :)
Aurelia
- I kind of just like the look and meaning. I can't really find a pronunciation that I like.
Camilla
Cornelia
- Daughter's name :D
Felicia
Flavia
- Pronounced FLAH-via, not FLAY-via.
Lucia
- Pronounced Loo-CHEE-ah
Octavia
Prisca
- I prefer Priscilla, though

I like Antonia and Lucia. I consider them all names that are useable for a child and definitely a character.

Cassia, Aurelia, and Felicia were contenders for our baby's name. In fact, one of my favourite combos is Cassia Aurelia.
