In order of preference: Elspeth- have always loved this name.
Aileen - I used to not like it, but it's really really growing on me.
Fiona - pretty, but a bit common for my taste
Bridget - I like it more than dislike it, but I don't have strong feelings.
Catriona - definitely prefer this spelling, but not really a fan of the name.

Hi !!!!1 Bridget: I like the sound very much and the meaning too!
2 Fiona: It is familiar for me although it is not so used here.
3 Aileen: very sweet, light but youthful imo.
4 Catriona: Not sure about the sound. -ona end has not appeal for me. I quite like Fiona because is familiar but Catriona is ugly for its sound.

Fiona is my favorite.Catriona is nice. It seems calmer and less aggressive than Katrina.Bridget is alright - seems sort of heavy to me though, and dated.Aileen: I prefer Eileen. I like it but it's not a favorite. I think of it as similar to Irene. Old, but not old-ladyish. Sorta professional, not very girly.Elspeth I don't care for the sound of. speth like spitting. It has some charm but still, yuck.

I've got an Aileen friend, but as a name I really don't enjoy it. Most -een names don't appeal to me.I like Elspeth and Fiona about equally, closely followed by Bridget. And Catriona looks beautiful but sounds less so; plus, people would probably guess it was four syllables instead of three. Elspeth, Fiona and Bridget all sound healthy, energetic and intelligent, if that makes sense.

Elspeth for sure =) I really like "E" names though.
Catriona and Fiona are really pretty too.
I would prefer Brigitta over Bridget and Aileen feels a little boring to me.
