I like many of these. In fact, I can't choose one list over the other.
I especially like:
LeahNaomiGraceClaireJuliaGenevieveKatarinaEleanorMalcolm
I'd love to see
Miriam and
Naomi paired together.
Actually, the only one I'm not really wild about is
Judith and I think most people here are aware of why I don't love it or
Judy, lol. My bias, I guess.
Re: short vs. long names, I understand what you're saying about feeling more comfortable with shorter names. While I love long, flowing names, what feels most comfortable to me is a name with two syllables.
