I like Latinate forms, and since I am first generation American (my family is from Italy), I prefer using these because they are more linked to my roots. I do prefer some French forms:

---

Gabrielle vs. Gabriella
Charlotte vs. Carlotta
Therese vs. Teresa

---

But I still like:

---

Arianna vs. Ariane
Chiara/ Clara vs. Claire
Emilia vs. Emily
Ilaria vs. Hilary
Isabel/ Isabella vs. spelling Isabelle
Sophia vs. Sophie
Eliana vs. Eliane
Mirella vs. Mireille
Maria vs. Marie

---

and the list goes on. ;)
