Pearl is a bit old fashioned, but feels ripe for a comeback (especially given Ruby's popularity).

---

Kiersten (keer-stin) is one I've never really liked. I think it's worse than Kirsten (which I pronounce kir-stin).

---

Paloma is sweet, though it makes me think of the drink (like Margarita).

---

Liliane is very pretty (though I prefer Liliana), and I think it would make an interesting, unexpected middle name.

---

Simone is glamorous, sophisticated, and underappreciated.

---

Celeste is one of my favorite names. Don't know if I prefer Celeste Eleanor or Celeste Eloise.

---

Lauren was too popular when I was growing up for me to ever consider it, but I do like the name. Lauren seems friendlier than Laura to me.

---

Parisa is all right - one of those names that I wouldn't use, but find it fun to see in the real world. I pronounce it pah-ree-sah.

---

Paige is no-nonsense, and good for being taken seriously (and is less "hippie" than the similar Sage). It admittedly seems odd on a small child, though.
