Taking Mischa. I have a Russian friend named Misha who is male, and it doesn't sound right on a girl. Plus, especially with this spelling, I think of Mischa Barton and in my opinion she's a terrible actress.

Ariana goes as well. Frilly, sticky-sweet names like this are trendy and have never appealed to me. Colette is another "prissy" name that I dislike, so I'm eliminating it also. At least make it a nickname for Nicolette! Cosette is much better in my opinion.

Taking Melania because it sounds like a disease to me, Catriona because I don't like it as well as the other names, and Naima for the same reason.

Taking Margerita because it's a type of drink and pizza. Geneva because it's a place, and Tanith because it reminds me of the word 'teeth'

Francesca because it's very old-fashioned and I don't like the sound of the name.

Araceli means "altar of the sky" and that is a big turn off for me. It sounds like a place in a fantasy novella of some sort.

Adelaide because it reminds me of Austria and yodelling. That is a huge HUGE turn off. When you look at your kid why would you want to think of people yodelling on mountaintops?

Astrid is one of the worst possible names that can be given to a girl, or anyone for that matter.
Bridget reminds me of a bridge.
Giselle is too old-fashioned French.

Alondra is really ugly, and sounds made up.
Kiera can be spelled and prounounced SO many ways, and all of them are ugly.
Elle is a nickname and a letter.

Zella- you took off my name!! GRR!!! It was one of the three you choose.

Anyway, I'm taking off....
Carlotta- it reminds me too much of that girl from Phantom of the Opera who I didn't like much.

Marisa because it is spelled better with two s.

Savannah cause it reminds me too much of Georgia and the south and hot weather.

I take off:

Aurelia - because it sounds too extravagant for anyone not living in the Roman Empire

Callista - bacause it sounds badly old-fashioned

Madeline - because it sounds arrogant

That leaves:

Alessandra
Gabrielle
Liv

Alessandra Wins!

Taking, Gabrielle, because I think it's over done. And Liv annoys me..

Alessandra is the winner!
