HelpRe: My list - which one do you pick :)
in reply to a message by Amandine
Phoebe: Sounds too silly, like a bird twittering or someone laughing in a really ditzy, giggly way.
Autumn: This is pretty.
Elsie: Mooo!
Elsa
"Elsie": Elsa's just not much better than Elsie.
Aubrey: Stuffy and prissy.
Everly: Vapid.
Annabel: Cutesy, like a high-dollar Victorian-style doll.
Madeline: Yawn.
Grace: It's nice, but nothing really special.
Opal: I wouldn't use it myself but it's got some charm to it.
Kokomi: I have no background in Japanese so this name doesn't mean anything as a name to me, except to sound vaguely like a hot-chocolate mix.
Lily: Babyish and whiny.
Matilda: Ugly companion doll to Annabel.
Holly: Very pretty.
Lyra: Am never sure how to pronounce it, long ee or long i.
Isabella: Bloated and pompous.
I'd choose Holly first, closely folloed by Autumn.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Pronouncing Lyra: nothing proves anything, but it is said that Philip Pullman named his heroine (in the His Dark Materials trilogy) Lyra because of her ability to tell fibs in order to get out of trouble! So that would make it LIEra, not LEEra.
