Deborah - 2/10
Thomasina - 5/10 (It's not dated in a bad way, I just hate Thomas)
Edwina - 5/10 (I like Edwin but that "dween" is... dweeby)
Barbara - 2/10
Linden - 7/10 (prefer it on a boy but it's not bad on a girl. Lin is a cute nn but don't really like Lindy)
Theodosia - 9/10

Deborah: 4/10. Boring, and Debbie doesn't help.Thomasina: 7/10. Pretty, in that old-timey way. This was one of my favorite names when I was growing up.Edwina: 7/10. I like it. It's ugly-pretty.Barbara: 2/10. HATE. Hate all the nicknames, too, and that is a rare thing, for me.Theodosia: 6/10. It's pretty, but detached. I do love Theo/Thea.Ever: 4/10. Meh. It's a nothing name. Not the least bit interesting, but it works.

Deborah - 4/10, okay on someone else. I hate the two-syllable pronunciation, only like it with three. I also hate Deb and Debbie but I do like the meaning.Thomasina 4/10, okay on someone else. But too long and impractical. Tamsin is much better.Edwina 6/10, cute for someone elses child.Barbara 5/10, only because I have a lovely friend named this and it is so incredibly no-nonsense which I appreciate.Linden 4/10, okay for someone else.Theodosia 2/10, it's so long, complicated, unattractive.Ever 4/10, okay for someone else.
