Esmée or Renée - although I love the brassy charm of Renee, I've known to many awful people with this name. Plus, I prefer it for a boy. So, Esmee it is.
Eve or Eva? I like Eve. It sounds shifty.
Olivia or Octavia? Octavia, no question.
Soleil or Mireille? Mireille.
Kennedy or Reagan? Reagan, but it's because of The Exorcist, not the president :)
Maristella or Candelaria? Candelaria. So goth!
Brontë or Austen? Bronte. It's so clumsy!
Cheyenne or Dakota? Cheyenne. I do legitimately think it's pretty.
Lucy or Eleanor? Lucy. So cute!
Juliana or Mariana? Juliana. I love "Jules" as a nn.
Lorelei or Leilani? Lorelai
Lilo or Zazu? Neither, skip
Saylor or Scout? Saylor. But I'd prefer it spelled correctly. I do actually think Sailor is a pretty and neo-romantic name.
Stella or Lily? Stella, though I'd prefer Estelle.
Adriana or Ariana? Adriana. Ariana is fluff and nonsense.
Eve or Eva? I like Eve. It sounds shifty.
Olivia or Octavia? Octavia, no question.
Soleil or Mireille? Mireille.
Kennedy or Reagan? Reagan, but it's because of The Exorcist, not the president :)
Maristella or Candelaria? Candelaria. So goth!
Brontë or Austen? Bronte. It's so clumsy!

Esmée: it sounds much prettier to me, and I would probably leave off the accent mark.
Eva: I like it better, it’s got a little more spunk.
Olivia: for sure! I love Olivia.
Soleil or Mireille? This is a hard one, as I don’t particularly care for either. Maybe Soleil, and I can have Sunny as a nickname.
Kennedy or Reagan? Ummm. I dislike both for girl…Reagan, I suppose.
Maristella or Candelaria? Geez, harder and harder. Maristella, I suppose. Don’t really care for candle to be part of my name.
Brontë or Austen? For me? Eek. They’re both awful for a female. I suppose Austen.
Cheyenne or Dakota? Cheyenne, definitely.
Lucy or Eleanor? Lucy. Much cuter and not so old lady-ish.
Juliana, for sure. Pretty and elegant.
Lorelei or Leilani? Leilani. I loved this name for my daughter, but it wouldn’t have suited her at all, plus… DH and I are both as white as white can be, and I really was unsure about whether it would be appropriate for us.
Lilo or Zazu? Lilo, I suppose.
Saylor or Scout? Saylor???
Stella or Lily? Lily. Very pretty, even if overused.
Adriana or Ariana? I suppose Ariana, although both are fairly awful :)
Eva: I like it better, it’s got a little more spunk.
Olivia: for sure! I love Olivia.
Soleil or Mireille? This is a hard one, as I don’t particularly care for either. Maybe Soleil, and I can have Sunny as a nickname.

Esmée - idk why exactly, but I wanna be Esmée today))
Eva - a tough one; Eva could be shortened to Eve.
Olivia - it will suit me better, although I quite like Octavia.
Mireille - I like Mira part.
Kennedy - it just sounds better.
Maristella - more NN options.
Brontë
Dakota - I'd probably have pronunciation issues with Cheyenne.
Eleanor - Eleanor is less common, imo, (at least I know only one).
Mariana - I've never met one, plus, it's charming.
Lorelei - more meaningful to me.
Lilo - I want something softer today.
Saylor - sounds better, also it reminds me of Skyler.
Lily - it's prettier. Can't help myself.
Adriana - Ariana reminds me of Arianism.

Renée - a classic, whereas Esmee is too trendy. I also don't like soft sss sound
Eve or Eva - Eve - short but spunky. Eva reminds me of Eva Braun
Olivia or Octavia - Olivia is almost too sweet, but I like the nicknames. Octavia sounds too harsh, almost too masculine. I'd prefer Olivia and use the nickname Liv.
Soleil or Mireille - Soleil, because I know someone named Mireille and she's a B*. If I could get away with it I'd use the nickname Sunny.
Kennedy or Reagan - two presidents. I'd rather name my daughter Kennedy, but be named Reagan myself. I really like the sound of rae.
Maristella or Candelaria - without a doubt Maristella because it reminds me of my grandmother. Plus I love that it means star of the sea.

Esmée - I like the sound of it better and Renée is a bit too dated for me. I also love Esme’s meaning.
Eve - More simple, and to the point. For a daughter I think I would prefer Eva, because it’s better than Ava and very beautiful and glamorous.
Olivia - This one was hard. Olivia is a bit common for my generation but not nearly as common as it is for Generation Alpha. Octavia is a very nice name, but I just can’t see myself with it unfortunately. Octavia, however is the name I would prefer for a daughter as well.
Soleil - I like Soleil. It’s very sunny and beautiful. I also like the look. I dred soh-LEEL though. Mireille is lovely but not me.
Hard pass. - Kennedy is an overrated President and name with a very unfortunate meaning, not to mention chicken, and Reagan is even worse and not even attractive. Just shoot me.
Maristella - Very gorgeous and ethereal name. Like Stella over course. Candelaria isn’t bad but I don’t care for it for myself.
Brontë - No comment.
Cheyenne - Even though I really don’t care for either, I find Dakota more masculine than feminine.
Pass. - I don’t mind either and I like both Beatles’ songs but I can’t imagine being an Eleanor and I damn sure can’t imagine being a Lucy.
Juliana - Mariana is nice though.
Lorelei - Leilani is a family name. Lorelei is interesting and I like the story.
Eve - More simple, and to the point. For a daughter I think I would prefer Eva, because it’s better than Ava and very beautiful and glamorous.
Olivia - This one was hard. Olivia is a bit common for my generation but not nearly as common as it is for Generation Alpha. Octavia is a very nice name, but I just can’t see myself with it unfortunately. Octavia, however is the name I would prefer for a daughter as well.

Esmée or Renée - Esme; it's a family name and the usual spelling where I live. A dear friend who died on her honeymoon was Renée, so it only has one meaning for me.
Eve or Eva? - Eve. Neater and tidier than Eva, though Eva is a family name!
Olivia or Octavia? - Olivia. Elegant, Shakespearean, timeless. Too popular now, though. But the meaning of Octavia is too obvious!
Soleil or Mireille? - Have to be Mireille; I don't like it much but at least it's female.
Kennedy or Reagan? - Neither. I don't like lnfns and I'm not American.
Maristella or Candelaria? - Maristella, nn Stella!
Brontë or Austen? - Again, neither.
Cheyenne or Dakota? - Neither: they are place names that have no meaning for me at all.
Lucy or Eleanor? - Lucy, though I love them both.
Juliana or Mariana? - Mariana, nn Marianne (which I'd like anyway). The only Jul- name I like is Juliet.
Lorelei or Leilani? - Lorelei, nn Laura.
Lilo or Zazu? - Neither, not even at gunpoint.
Eve or Eva? - Eve. Neater and tidier than Eva, though Eva is a family name!
Olivia or Octavia? - Olivia. Elegant, Shakespearean, timeless. Too popular now, though. But the meaning of Octavia is too obvious!
Soleil or Mireille? - Have to be Mireille; I don't like it much but at least it's female.
Kennedy or Reagan? - Neither. I don't like lnfns and I'm not American.
Maristella or Candelaria? - Maristella, nn Stella!
Brontë or Austen? - Again, neither.

Esmée - I like Renée, but Esmée suits me better.
Eve - More simple and less frilly than Eva, although I do like Eva.
Olivia - Way too common for girls my age but I still like it. It suits me better than Octavia.
Soleil - I had trouble deciding with this one. I went with Soleil but I like Mireille about equally.
Kennedy - Kennedy is cute, and while I like Reagan (REE-gun), I can't stand Reagan (RAY-gun), so I'd rather not have to correct people all the time.
Maristella - Candelaria sounds like "candle". I guess there's nothing wrong with that but I prefer Maristella.
Brontë - Actually a name I have used as an internet name in the past. I love it. I don't care for Austen.
Cheyenne - I took a while to decide here too. I don't really like either, but I guess Cheyenne is a little nicer than Dakota.
Eleanor - I love both Eleanor and Lucy, but Eleanor has more options for nicknames.
Mariana - My sister is Julia, so Juliana would be weird for me, even in theory. And Mariana is a very nice name.
Lorelei - Again, this was hard. Lorelei and Leilani are very similar in my head (and I like both), but I think Lorelei is more me.
Eve - More simple and less frilly than Eva, although I do like Eva.
Olivia - Way too common for girls my age but I still like it. It suits me better than Octavia.
Soleil - I had trouble deciding with this one. I went with Soleil but I like Mireille about equally.

Esmée or Renée. I'd rather be an Esmé, but I'll take Esmée too. It's a warm, dusty pink. Renée isn't bad, but it's too dates.
Eve or Eva: simply because it's more international. I love both names.
Olivia or Octavia: boring and overused Vs cool and ancient Roman.
Soleil or Mireille: definitely. Soleil doesn't feel like a name.
Kennedy or Reagan: the less atrocious of the two presidents.
Maristella or Candelaria: very baroque.
Brontë or Austen: Austen sounds masculine.
Cheyenne or Dakota: I like the Anne sound I guess. I'd feel really weird using either. It's like naming your child Hungarian. Or Barbadian.
Lucy or Eleanor: bright and pleasant.
Juliana or Mariana: similar to my actual name.
Lorelei or Leilani: less murky and sea monsterish.
Lilo or Zazu: zazu rhymes with kazoo.
Saylor or Scout: at least it isn't a typo?
Stella or Lily: it's no longer one of my favourite names, but I reckon I'd make a pretty good Lily.
Adriana or Ariana: I'd rather be an Arianna (or Ariadne!), but I'll take it over pompous Adriana.
Eve or Eva: simply because it's more international. I love both names.

Esmée or Renée?
Renée. It'd be pretty normal for someone my age and I like the name. Esmée would never have been given when I was born, it's very 21st centuryish, and anyway I don't like the sm sound enough, and would be annoyed by the ambiguity of whether it's an S or Z sound.
Eve or Eva?
Eve. I like Eve a lot. Eva sounds overblown to me and Hollywoody. And also Eve would seem more appropriate for me (someone of my age and ethnicity)
Olivia or Octavia?
Olivia. I know an Olivia who is about my age and it was a weird, sort of dorky name for us - about like a Mavis today, I am guessing. But it's not as theatrical as Octavia, which is nms.
Soleil or Mireille?
Soleil. It's so hippie, in a way I like. Mireille is a good name for a small terrier, IMO.
Kennedy or Reagan?
Kennedy. Partly because of political associations, and partly because it's namier and doesn't have ambiguity in the pronunciation. I like the name Regan for a girl (pronounced REE-gun), but I wouldn't want it for myself. Too much like "regal"
Maristella or Candelaria?
Candelaria. Maristella is nice, I just like the funkiness of Candelaria better and think it would suit me more.
Brontë or Austen?
Renée. It'd be pretty normal for someone my age and I like the name. Esmée would never have been given when I was born, it's very 21st centuryish, and anyway I don't like the sm sound enough, and would be annoyed by the ambiguity of whether it's an S or Z sound.

maybe Leilani.

Esmée, but I like Renée.
Octavia, but I like Olivia.
Kennedy, because "misshapen head" is funny.
Candelaria, although I like Maristella about equally. I'm fond of holiday names and the Lahr sound.
Dakota, although I'd rather neither.
Zazu, although Lilo is cute.
Saylor sounds like more fun and also more honest (Scout seems vaguely like Spy or Bandit or Finch).
Adriana, although I feel like Ariana is maybe nicer objectively.
Eve, Mireille, Brontë, Lucy, Lorelei, Juliana, Stella
I think the ones I'd most like as my name out of the whole list are Eve and Brontë.
Octavia, but I like Olivia.
