Evelyn - pleasant, dignified; shortens nicely to Eve; I prefer Lyneve

Josephine - long and clumsy; prefer Joseph, nn Joe, for a boy
Theresa - much prefer Tessa
Jonah - don't like the Bible story; prefer Joseph, nn Joe
Antonia - delightful if she can avoid becoming Toni
Ryan - much prefer Brian or Bryan; Ryan seems unfinished
Connor - as in confidenc-trickster? No thanks, and I don't like lnfns in general
Louisa - much prefer either Louise or Eloise. The only Louisa I know goes by Louise.
