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.
Saylor or Scout? - Neither.
Stella or Lily? - Stella, all the way. Lily is bland and feeble.
Adriana or Ariana? - Ariana looks like a typo, so Adriana, though IRL I'd have used Adrian for a boy.
