Ada Celeste: Love Ada, hate Celeste.
Beatrice Anne: I don't like Beatrice, but Anne is simple and sweet.
Catherine Antonia (Cait): I like it, but I prefer Cate.
Audrey Emmeline: Like it, but I prefer Aubrey.
Celia Elspeth: I like Elspeth, but Celia leaves me cold.
Clara Daphne: Like it.
Dinah Constance: Don't like it at all. It sounds fussy.
Cora Edith: I love Cora, but I don't like Edith.
Etta Agnes: I can't stand Etta. It sounds like the shortened version of a full name. Agnes reminds me of nuns.
Fiona Evelyn: I hate Fiona, but Evelyn is beautiful.
Elsa Fleur: Elsa sounds like a cow's name to me. Fleur reminds me of "floor."
Greta Heloise: Greta is lovely, but Heloise sounds hideous to me.
Iris Honor/Honour: I don't like Iris at all. Honor is okay, but Honora sounds more like a name to me (and you can use Nora-that's a plus).
Honora Jane: I really like it. Very pretty.
Ida Jillian: I like this one a lot; it's cute.
Ingrid Lenore: Ingrid is awesome, but Lenore sounds weak and pale. Ingrid Leah would be a better combo, IMHO.
Lucy Kate: I'm not getting why so many people are using Lucy as a full name. I think Lucille or Lucinda are pretty and sophisticated, but no one ever seems to consider them. Lucy Kate is cute, though.
Lydia Imogen: I kind of like it. Different, but not TOO different.
Laura Madeleine: I prefer Lauren. Madeleine is sweet.
Leona Mae: Sounds a little hillbilly, but Leona is pretty.
Lillian Mariah: I'm indifferent to it.
Louisa Margot: Yuck. I'm sorry, but I really hate the sound of Eloise/Louisa/Heloise, etc. All I hear is WEEZ. Margot is a good name, though.
Martha Lydie: I don't like Martha. Too old and frumpy for a modern girl. Lydie is cute, but Lydia is better.
Matilda Hazel: Matilda reminds me of the Roald Dahl book, so I have a soft spot for it. Hazel reminds me of the rabbit from "Watership Down"; all in all, a literary name.
Mary Ophelia: For some odd reason, Mary sounds like the name of a girl who goes insane and sings to herself in a padded cell. I've always had that image connected with the name, and I don't know why. Ophelia doesn't really help much in this particular combo.
Miriam Primrose: I love Miriam-Miri is an adorable NN-but I hate Primrose with the fire of a thousand suns. It's so prissy and delicate, like the girl who would always wear frilly dresses to school and was afraid of getting dirty.
Mabel Rosalind: Rosalind is cool, but Mabel sounds dorky to me.
Sylvia Rosamund: I like it.
Sophia Ruby: I really like this one. I love Sophia, and Ruby is underused.
Molly Susannah: I like it. Molly is also underused.
Sylvie Therese: It's okay.
