1. Sofie (the spanish/italian/german version)
2. Sofia (Sophia is too common, also Sofia the First lol)
3. Elizabeth (opens up more style; can be vintage in a cute way)
4. Isabel (just less letter, simpler = cuter)
5. Kalliope (Kalli as a nickname vs "call". edit: just learned how calliope is pronounced :P)
6. Jean (Jeanne can be mistakened for je-ANNE, which I dislike)
7. Bettie (it's cutesier, like Birdie vs Birdy, less grandma-sounding)
8. Eirene (the spelling is more unique and really pretty)
9. Jillian (Gill like fish? at the same time, I dislike nickname "Jill")
10. Geoffrey (ew, hate both, but at least it adds some style i guess)

Sophie
Sophia
Elizabeth, in English
Isabel, in English
Calliope: I prefer the English pronunciation to the Greek
Jean, in English
Betty
Eirene would be more likely to be pronounced with three syllables and Irene with two. I prefer three, and therefore Eirene.
Gillian, less likely to be shortened to Jill
Geoffrey, so wildly medieval
