Alina - Pretty, but a little too trendy-sounding for me.
Elina - Same as for Alina
Fiona - Not a HUGE fan, but good especially as a MN
Miranda - Like it
Celine - Like it
Niamh - Pretty, but I would only use it as a MN
Emmeline - Better than Emma or Emily
Alda - Cute
Adelaid - A little harsh sounding for my tastes, but it can go on the maybe list
Esme - Pretty
Esmeralda - Pretty, but gives the impression of a hokey carnival fortune teller to me.
Juno - Noo...
Leah - Depends on how you pronounce it. As "lee" or "lee-ah" I like it.
Molly - Cute
Noa - Honestly not sure how I feel about this one, but it may grow on me so it can go on the maybe list.Also, two things. In my family it's a tradition to give the first daughter the MN Michelle. I'd like to keep the tradition, but if you couldn't like or at least get used to Michelle then of course we won't use it. And are their any variations of Lily that you like or would consider, as it is my favorite girl's name.

I prn Leah like lee-ah. How do you prn it? I'm not a huge fan of Michelle, but as it is a tradition it's okey for me to use it.
Variations of Lily..Maybe Liana or Lilja. WDYT?
Also, I'm not sure if you wanted some names on the list or not, so I put them there with a ? after. Remove the names if you don't think they belong there or if I did anything wrong. :)So far we have:
Arthur
Theodor/Theodore
Isaac
William "Liam?"
Felix (I don't like Felicia on a girl. It's one of my middle names and I've always hated it)
Oliver
Noah
Maximilian (I totally forgot that Maximilian was my name here, haha. Not sure if I want to use it then..)
Sebastian
Jude (I only like it for a boy, and a MN)
Oscar (MN)
Gabriel
Aiden
Jasper
Samuel
BenjaminNora
Melina
Theodora
Leonora (Maybe Nora as a nn?)
Matilda
Linnea
Ellen (MN)
Isabel
Rose
Danielle
Amelia
Miranda
Celine
NIamh (MN)
Emmeline
Alda
Esme?
Molly

I don't really like Liana or Lilja. Lile (lee-la) or Lila? I like Leah pronounced Lee-a and I don't like Esmerelda. Zachariah and Kieran are my favorites of those new names but I'm not crazy about any of them. I think we have a good list and we can work out the rest later.
