Victoria: classic, timeless, good nn potential
Alethea: I'd prefer Althea. Don't enjoy ONEtwoTHREEfour rhythm.
Leonora: same rhythm issue as with Alethea. I'd use Nora as a permanent nn.
Calixta: don't enjoy it at all; sounds medicinal, perhaps a brand of adhesive tape.

I pronounce it ah-li-THAY-ah, tonic syllable on the third syllable, but also simply al-THAY-ah (unvoiced th in both pronunciations).

Leonora is so ethereal.
Victoria is a classic. It's so pretty that I can't hate how popular it is.
Alethea is okay, not as good as Althea.
Callista is nice and definitely looks more natural than Calixta, but I still prefer Callisto and Calypso to both of them.

Cool. I’m definitely fond of Calixta—an underrated Portuguese gem :)
