These are my picks.

---

Diana
Violet
Clara
Ophelia vs Cassandra (Like both! Would pick Cassandra NN Cassie more though.)
Irene
Evelyn
Alice
Aurora vs Hazel (Love both! Would use Aurora more though. Aurora Hazel would be great!)
Adelaide
Lilith vs Luna (Love both! Already used Lilith so I guess Luna would be my pick now.) :)

---

Alexander vs Ezra (Like both! But would use Ezra more!)
Sebastian
Thomas NN Tommy
Oliver
Raphael
Isaac
Rowan
Gabriel
Leo
Adrian

Charlotte- diana sounds like my mother
Iris- sound pretty
Esther- Sounds mystical, i like it, strong candidate
Cassandra- idk, Ophelia is pretty but i wouldn't be one
Irene- reminds me of water
Alice- a simple name
Hazel- its a really nice name
Adelaide- i just like it better
Lilith- idk, i like it better

---

Alexander- i really like this name
Felix- nicely unique
Thomas- i just really like this one
James- Oliver sounds like a kid, not for me
Raphael- Arthur is not the best
Isaac- i like this, remind me of wind
Theodore- one im actually thinking of using
Gabriel- prefer it to Victor
Leo- i just like it
Adrian- Finn is just not it for me

Charlotte - this was a hard one for me, but I just think I look more like a Charlotte
Violet - I've loved it since I was 7 or 8
Clara - I like the sound and that it is less religious
Cassandra - I like the nickname Cass, I also feel like Ophelia is a little too dainty or something for me
Florence - I'm not a fan of Irene
Evelyn - the names themselves are about tied for me, but I keep my same first initial with Evelyn
Alice - only because I have a cousin Vivian and wouldn't want us to both have the same name
Hazel - it goes better with my surname
Eleanor - I keep my first initial and it goes better with my surname
Luna - I just like the sound better

---

This next list is harder because I don't have as many names I actively like, but...

---

Ezra - there are too many people I know named Alex, including close friends and a niece
Felix
Henry
Oliver
Raphael
Isaac - only because I have two family members named Daniel
Rowan - I actually really like both of these, so Rowan gets extra points for being more unisex
Gabriel
Leo
Adrian

Iris vs Violet- NEITHER!
Clara vs Esther- Clara
Ophelia vs Cassandra- Neither
Irene vs Florence- Irene
Cecilia vs Evelyn- Evelyn

Diana vs Charlotte: Charlotte for sure. Maybe I’d go by Lottie… it’s much better than Diana, which is boring and dated.

---

Iris vs Violet: Violet. It’s sweet and old-fashioned, without being ugly. Iris is just… a part of the eye.

---

Clara vs Esther: hmm… I like both, but think I’d prefer to be Clara.

---

Ophelia vs Cassandra: this one is a bit more difficult… I dislike both fairly intensely, but i suppose I’ll go with Cassandra, because I can go by Cass, which is cute.

---

Irene vs Florence: oh dear. These are both quite… ugly. Florence.

---

Cecilia vs Evelyn: I don’t mind both, but I prefer Evelyn. I’ll go by Evie.

---

Vivian vs Alice: oh Vivian, for sure! I love Vivienne, so I’ll tweak it a bit.

---

Aurora vs Hazel: Hazel? I have no great love for either, but I do like the spunkiness of Hazel.

---

Adelaide vs Eleanor: Adelaide. The name is a bit too dated for me to love it, but I do like Addy.

---

Lilith vs Luna: Lilith, definitely. Luna just reminds me of tuna… so, Lily I would be.

---

Alexander vs Ezra: Alexander. It’s boring, but better than Ezra.

---

Sebastian vs Felix: I like both. We’ll go with Felix…

---

Henry vs Thomas: Henry. Again, both are handsome choices, but I love Henry a bit better.

---

James vs Oliver: another hard choice, as I quite like them both! Maybe James Oliver.

---

Raphael vs Arthur: eek. Raphael? Arthur is hideous.

---

Daniel vs Isaac: Isaac. Daniel is a bit more popular than Isaac, and I hate Dan or Danny.

---

Rowan vs Theodore: hmmm… Theodore, but call me Theo.

---

Victor vs Gabriel: Gabriel. I like it much better, but please, Gabe is ugly.

---

Leo vs Simon: Simon. It makes me think of the Chipmunks, but that’s okay. Still a nice name.

---

Adrian vs Finn: oh, I really love both of these as well. Adrian.

Charlotte- I like both, but Charlotte just seems prettier.
Iris- It's less common than Violet. Both are pretty, though.
Clara- Both are old-fashioned, but Clara rolls off the tongue easier. Esther is nice, though
Ophelia- Cassandra seems a little too 80's for me, Ophelia is prettier and more unique
Irene- Both are nice, but Irene speaks to me more.
Cecilia- Evelyn seems a little too common nowadays and kinda boring
Vivian- Alice is nice, but too old-fashioned.
Aurora- I've never been a fan of Hazel, myself. Also, a cool nickname for Aurora would be Rory.
Adelaide- Eleanor is pretty, but Adelaide seems more complex and interesting.
Lilith- I love both of these names, but Lilith is a little more unique.

---

Ezra- Alexander is too common. Ezra is old-fashioned and strong.
Felix- Felix is a little more interesting than Sebastian
Henry- Thomas is a little too boring.
Oliver- James is nice, but so common.
Raphael- Arthur is a little too dated for my taste
Isaac- Daniel is too common. Isaac seems refined.
Rowan- I like both options, but for now I'll stick with Rowan, it's a little more unique.
Gabriel- Both are strong names, but Gabriel seems to fit more with the times
Simon- Leo seems a little too common nowadays. Simon is a classic
Adrian- Finn is too short and a little too modern.

Charlotte - I adore the nn Charlie. Diana is pretty, but I wouldn't like being called Di.

---

Violet - I like both, but Violet has a prettier sound. Iris is a little quirkier.

---

Clara - Definitely Clara. Esther is very unappealing to me.

---

Ophelia - Ophelia sounds so romantic and artistic. I love the painting by John Everett Millais. I wrote a paper on it for my art history class once and fell in love. Cassandra is ok.

---

Florence - They're both cool, but Florence makes me think of Florence Nightingale, Italy, and flowers. The -een ending of Irene makes it feel dated in English. I love Irene in French though.

---

Cecilia - She's the patron saint of music, which is pretty. Evelyn is a good name, but the -lyn ending is a bit predictable.

---

Alice - I don't really like either name. I kind of prefer Vivian because it's softer, but I don't like that spelling. Alice sounds more wearable and plain though.

---

Hazel - This one is super tough. Today, I'm liking Hazel more than Aurora, but that could easily change if you ask me tomorrow, lol. They're both nature-inspired and gorgeous. The "z" sound in Hazel is refreshing and gives it a slight edge over Aurora, but only slightly.

---

Adelaide - I don't mind Eleanor, but I've never really seen the appeal of it. I don't really have a reason. It's just one of those names I've never been too keen on. Adelaide is gorgeous and historical.

Diana - Charlotte sounds spoiled and prissy. Diana is dated, but I could work with it. I would rather be Artemis but that isn't an option.
Violet - Violets are lovely in a non-showy way. Iris plants are pretty, but the matronly sound isn't me.
Clara - I actually prefer the name Esther, but I think of Esthers as either bold, dark haired beauties, or a Puritan with a chip on her shoulder. Clara is the sickly rich girl in Heidi, which is easier to not feel a need to live up to or down.
Cassandra - While both names are tragic, Cassandra feels more grounded and willful while Ophelia is more whimsical and dreamy.
Florence - Very pretty. Irene is nice too, but I prefer Florence.
Evelyn - If it wasn't so popular, I would like it even more. Cecilia is romantic but a bit too fluffy to suit me.
Vivian - I love Alice and might use it for a daughter, but I don't see it as a name for myself. Vivian is more spirited than I am, but it frees up Alice for my kid since I wouldn't name my daughter after myself.
Aurora vs Hazel - Hazel because I associate it with healing, and I think it would be nice to strive to be that sort of person. Aurora is nice though.
Eleanor - Love Eleanor! It is so queenly and dignified but not overwhelmingly so.

I always tend to choose the more powerful and interesting choice. Names that aren’t too similar to other names or can be mispronounced too much.

---

Diana
Iris - If I’m forced. I don’t care much for either however.
Clara
Ophelia
Irene
Cecilia
Alice - Only if you spell it as Vivienne.
Aurora
Adelaide
Luna

---

Ezra
Felix
Henry
James

Clara
Cassandra
Irene
Evelyn
Alice
Aurora
Eleanor
Luna

Diana vs Charlotte - Diana, it's prettier, I prefer shorter names usually, and it'd be so fun with my sister's name!
Iris vs Violet - Violet, I love Iris but for myself, I'd prefer something calmer and Iris seems too vibrant
Clara vs Esther - Esther, I always loved Esther and never liked Clara, I don't think I like "cl" very much
Ophelia vs Cassandra - Ophelia, even though it seems far too dainty, Cassandra is really grating to my ears
Irene vs Florence - though one, but I suppose Florence. I'd say Irene is too sharp to suit me
Cecilia vs Evelyn - Evelyn probably, it's calmer, Cecilia is beautiful but it has drama that wouldn't suit me
Vivian vs Alice - Alice, Vivian is so grand
Aurora vs Hazel - Hazel, Aurora is far too princessy
Adelaide vs Eleanor - Eleanor, I'd love to be an Ada but Adelaide is a bit much
Lilith vs Luna - Luna, purely because Lilith can come off as edgy and that's very much not me

Diana - Diana seems less common now...
Iris - Im always on the fence about these names; Iris seems more appealing.
Clara - sounds better.
Cassandra - again it sounds prettier.
Florence - less common.
Evelyn - like the nn options.
Vivian - gorgeous, Alice is a tad boring, imo.
Aurora - yeah, it sounds clunky, but better than hazel, which reminds me of hazing.
Eleanor - Elle, Ellie and Nora is better than Addie etc, imo.
Lilith - more 'substantial' imo.

---

Alexander - family name.
Sebastian - Felix - it's the name of a professor I know.
Henry - good associations.
James - one of my favs.
Arthur - I like Art as a nn, if I need one.
Daniel - it's more meaningful.
Theodore - I like Rowan, but im being realistic here, so Theodore is more usable, plus, Rowan reminds me of Rowan Atkinson.
Gabriel - less common.
Leo - one of my all time favourite!
Adrian - simply because I know a Finn already.

Diana vs Charlotte - Diana, it's related to my (middle)namesake, Artemis, and is more in-line with my style.
Iris vs Violet - Iris. I love them both, I just prefer this one for myself as it sounds slightly less feminine.
Clara vs Esther - Esther! I like the nickname Esti/Esty, and I think that would fit me well.
Ophelia vs Cassandra - Cassandra. I'd go by Cas or Cassie, mostly, but the full name is also beautiful. It has a darker feel to it that's more in line with my personal style.
Irene vs Florence - Florence. I just prefer this name in general.
Cecilia vs Evelyn - Evelyn. I really love both of these names, but I think Cecilia is too frilly to match me well. Evelyn has a good balance of frilly and practical energy, and Eve and Evie are great nicknames.
Vivian vs Alice - Alice for sure! Reminds me of Alice Cullen, and I already know a Vivian.
Aurora vs Hazel - Hazel! It's kind of similar to my name, a quirky two-syllable word name that can be unisex but rings a little feminine.
Adelaide vs Eleanor - Adelaide. Both these names are gorgeous, but I know a few Eleanor's, Ellie's, and Nora's. Addie is a nice nickname.
Lilith vs Luna - Lilith! Luna always felt campy to me, and Lilith fits well considering i am goth.

---

Alexander vs Ezra - Ezra! I adore this name, and I've seen it used on other trans people of all genders.
Sebastian vs Felix - Sebastian, but I'd go by Bas. I almost did Felix, in honor of my grandfather, but I just don't think it fits me.
Henry vs Thomas - Thomas. Thomas is a little softer to me.
James vs Oliver - James.
Raphael vs Arthur - Arthur. I've never been a fan of the name Raphael.
Daniel vs Isaac - Isaac, both are nice names, I just prefer it and think it would fit me better.
Rowan vs Theodore - Theodore! I love this name and the nicknames Theo and Teddy, and I've seen Rowan used on so many other transpeople that it's started to bore me.
Victor vs Gabriel - Victor! It's gothic and certainly used less than Gabriel
Leo vs Simon - Simon. I just don't think Leo would fit me well, no hate towards the name!
Adrian vs Finn - Adrian for sure. I cannot stand the name Finn for the life of me.

Diana, I like the flow better.
Iris, means rainbow and my dad's fav flower.
Esther, it seems slightly more down-to-earth.
Cassandra, can't see myself as Ophelia.
Irene, it reminds me less of flounce and fluoride.
Evelyn, at least I could be Eve.
Vivian, I dislike Alice.
Hazel, more woodsy less Disney princess.
Adelaide, I like it and dislike Eleanor.
Luna, because I don't want the baby killing demon association.

---

Alexander, it's dull but less potentially insufferable than Ezra.
Felix, I can't really see myself as Sebastian.
Thomas, I like it.
Oliver, I hate James.
Raphael, I like it.
Daniel vs Isaac - genuinely don't care which, sorry.
Rowan, more outdoorsy, less preppy.
Victor, I've already adjusted to Victoria.
Simon, I don't like it much but don't like lions.
Finn, because Adrian seems emptier me.
