Name M/F Remark
Wendy f
Violet f  I go back and forth on this one. It's getting more popular, but not too fast, and it's a better flower name than the old standby, Rose. 
Veronica f  I don't like Ronnie or Nikki, her nickname would have to come from her personality. It's not likely I'd use this one in the near future. 
Thirza f
Tamsin f
Sophie f  Prefer this to Sophia, although I know people would assume it was just a nickname for Sophia. 
Sonya f
Simone 1 f  I like Simon, so I thought I'd give Simone a chance. 
Selene f  I thought that I liked this spelling, but... 
Róisín f  I love it, but the poor kid would get called Raisin her whole life. 
Renee f  Absolutely love it for a middle name, and I am definitely using it; it's the one name that's non-negotiable. 
Reina 1 f
Raya f
Raina f
Rachel f  I've always liked this name, and I've known several Rachels. I do not like the extra A variant. 
Oriana f  it's pretty... 
Olivia f
Noelle f  I wouldn't use this or Natalie for a December baby, it's too cliche. One of the few -elle names I can stand. 
Nina 1 f
Natalie f  Wouldn't use Nat as a nickname, but Natalie has about a 70% chance of being used. 
Nadia 1 f
Morgan 1 f  Feels more like a girls' name. 
Michaela f  This is the only spelling that I'd accept, although Micaela works, too. I can't stand this epidemic of weird bastardizations! They don't even RESEMBLE Michael anymore! 
Melanie f  Now that the Spice Girls are a distant memory, I'd be more likely to use this name. Much more reasonable than my GP Melody. 
Megan f  One of the names I've consistently liked through the years. I prefer this spelling; adding the H looks clunky to me. 
Marie f  I really prefer it as a middle name. 
Mariana f  too much? 
Mara 2 f  Okay, so I only picked this version because I didn't like the "bitter" meaning. In a sea of Sara/Tara/Kara/Cara and others, Mara is a nice change. 
Manon f
Maia 1 f  I like this spelling better for some reason. 
Madeline f  I prefer this spelling, although I liked it more a few years ago than I do now. 
Lynn f  It's my middle name. I had no idea it was so unpopular recently. 
Lydia f
Lindy f  Well, I don't like Belinda...I sort of like Melinda...probably just a nickname. 
Lily f  I only like a few flower names. I like how short this one is, but with Harry Potter dominating the world, it's on the back burner. 
Liesel f
Kayla f
Katya f  I'd only use it on it's own, because Ekaterina is a mouthful. 
Katherine f  Classic. I do prefer the K, but Catherine is also very nice. 
Kalina f
Kaitlyn f  I have a thing for K's lately - this is one of my favorite variants. 
Judith f
Jade f  It's good for a middle name, against something really long. 
Isobel f  I like this spelling, and you don't see it often enough IMO. 
Isabel f  I like Isobel better than this, but it's not bad. 
Heather f  Previously, this was my #1 name. 
Hannah f  This is THE name, the one I really want to use, popularity be damned, and it KILLS me that there's a horrible character with this name, but I'm not changing my mind. 
Gretchen f  It's not really my favorite, but it has its own charm. 
Flora f  Flora is another one of those names that, like Dinah, I see as very delicate. 
Emma f  One of the few times that I keep popularity in mind - I'll stay out of the top 5 for girls most of the time. 
Ellen 1 f  My beloved Nana's name. 
Éliane f
Eliana 2 f
Elena f
Dinah f  My very first best friend was named Dinah. It's a very dainty name to me, though. 
Daria f  La-la-LA-la la...la-la-LA-la-la...Lucky for me, I like that cartoon. 
Dáirine f  couldn't use it - I just really like it 
Dahlia f
Crystal f  I don't know why this name gets such a bad rap - I've known some Crystals that were good people. 
Claire f  It doesn't seem complete to me without the I, and would be too much like the word "clear" otherwise. 
Christabel f  Does anyone actually use it, or do we all just think it's pretty and dream of using it? 
Cassidy f  I only sort of like it for a girl. I think I prefer Cassandra. 
Cassandra f  I know it ought to be spelled with a K according to some people, but I just can't get past that. I like Cassie, although I knew a Casey that was really Cassandra (and a Kasey). 
Caitlín f  Too Caitlyn-y for the US? 
Bridget f  Sadly, the only remotely Irish name that wouldn't be mangled in the US. One of my longtime faves. 
Brianna f  I'm not sure why but this is one of the few times that I prefer the double N spelling... 
Astrid f  Just started liking it recently. 
Ariana f  After some thought, I decided I liked the one N best. 
Annabel f  I definitely prefer this spelling. To me, it's old-fashioned but there's enough here for modern name-lovers to be interested in. 
Ann f  Definitely prefer the shorter version. My paternal grandmother is Anna, although I don't have to honor her so I can get away with Ann and Hannah. 
Angelia f  It's just pretty, without going on too long. 
Amelia f
Alice f  I still like it despite recent uses and the Wonderland connection - maybe a 40% chance of using it 
Alena 1 f  I do prefer this spelling to Alina. 
Alannah f  Conflicted over spellings...I tend to lean towards this one. 
Aislinn f  Pronunciation would get slaughtered here, but I like this spelling better than Ashling 
Adele f  I keep hearing this, and it's a lot better than most "-elle" names...but the 2nd half emphasis makes me think of it as a middle name. Also, the singer; too many people either love or hate her.
