I adore your list.

---

Ada -- I love short names where the vowel sounds outnumber the consonants.
Adela / Adelina -- I've long waited for Adele to catch on. These are equally fetching.
Barbara -- I didn't love this name until I saw Wendy Hiller in "Major Barbara." Rent it and hopefully you'll see what I mean.
Cora / Corinna / Corinne -- I agree. These have great potential for 2007.
Frances / Francine / Francesca -- I agree about Francesca, although I long for Francisca to get her due too.
Georgia -- Hasn't this one already caught on? Once I saw a character on Ally McBeal named Georgia I assumed it had. I also heard it in a romantic comedy as a potential name for a child.
Joanna -- Johanna is a family name for me, so I'd love to see Joanna come back.
Ruby -- I grew up watching Masterpiece Theater. Have you seen Upstairs / Downstairs and the character of Ruby? She's the scullery maid and I fell in love with the name just from watching her.
Molly -- Molly was very popular in the 80's / 90's, wasn't it?
Sally -- The world needs more Sallys.
Nancy -- My mother (Anna)'s nn.
Betsy -- I know a Betsy in her 40's. So cute.
Nellie -- I had a great-Aunt Nellie. So sweet.
