I like Emma, Gabrielle, Scarlett and Elena
I only like Charlotte and Scarlett. I would never use them as they have become too popular. The rest are very bland to me. I especially dislike Helen.
Charlotte - dislike the sound and the spelling (actually contains the word 'harlot'); prefer Charlene/Charline
Helen - flawless, beautiful classic. I'd use it happily.
Gabrielle - don't like the ONEtwoTHREEfour rhythm; Gabriel for a boy is OK.
Emma - bland and boring; can't for the life of me see the point of it.
Maddalena - no doubt it's OK in its own language environment, but where it sounds like Madder Lena, no thank you.
Scarlett - dislike colour names, most word names, GWTW and its heroine.
Elena - pronunciation issues, and who needs it when there's Helen?
I say it El-Ayn-uh, where it doesn’t sound too much like Helen.
I need Elena because I vastly prefer it over Helen, haha.
I like all but Gabriella (don't like the sound), Helen (bad first syllable), and Maddalena (Madalena looks better).

Charlotte - I want to like it but can't because it contains the word harlot, and I can't unhear it.
Helen - Understated beauty.
Gabrielle - The gab sound is heavy but I still think it's pretty.
Emma - Too common for me now, feels like Jane, prefer Emily
Maddalena - Dislike the spelling, Madalena is all right
Scarlett - prefer the spelling Scarlet, suffers from same problem as Charlotte above tho
Elena - prefer the spelling Alaina, but it's a nice name
Elena > Charlotte > Emma > Scarlett > Gabrielle > Maddalena > HelenScarlet would be #1, but I really do not like the Scarlett spelling.
I like Charlotte.Elena is okay.
I only like Elena ...The others do nothing at all for me.
I love Helen and really like Maddalena.Charlotte, Emma, and Elena are nice but too popular for my liking.I hate Gabrielle and Scarlett.
Charlotte is beautiful, although somewhat common nowadays. My only qualm with the name is the masculine nickname "Charlie".Helen is my favorite name on this list; it's classy and underused, nowadays.Gabrielle is a pretty-sounding name, but I prefer the name Gabriella.Emma is gorgeous and universal (just as it's meaning!), but it's become very common. It seems even more so than Emily did in the 1990s and 2000s. I don't mind common names, but this has put a little damper on this name. Still, Emma is a wonderful name.Maddalena sounds nice, but I'd prefer Magdalena or Madelina instead.Scarlett has a cool sound, and the nickname "Scar" is neat, but the color associate turns me away.Elena is an amazing name, though I struggle with pronouncing it.
