HelpRe: Thoughts on each of these names
in reply to a message by KK
Scarlett - not my favourite character, not my favourite book. Overrated name.
Maddalena - prefer English Madeline
Emma - bland and stodgy
Lily - I just think of gloomy funereal flowers
Elena - vastly prefer Eleanor
Helen - love it and would happily use it
Leah - not fond of any of the Lee names; at least this one has a history
Isabelle - why the French spelling? I prefer Isobel
Ava - flimsy and unimportant
Evelyn - I like it; I've heard Lyneve used (only once I think!) and I rather prefer that.
Kylie - lnfn; different spelling, but I used to know a Megan Kiley
Megan - used to be lovely; now it needs a long holiday

I really like Madeline too. My grandfather loved when I mentioned Helen(his mother’s name). He couldn’t get past Scarlett O’Hara for Scarlett though.
