I really like Heloise, because it has a bit of clunk to it. I'd give it a 10. It's rare but has great history and also a lot of warmth and personality. If I were ever to use it, my mom would continually remind of "Hints from Heloise" - which I think was a kind of homemaker's guidbook back in the day. I grew up assocaiting Heloise with householdy things.

Though it appears to be a very dour, pious name, I actually see it as a bit of a quirky, energetic, bustling name.

Heloise Minerva occurs to me right away, but I think that might be too much for most people to handle. Too much quirk.
