Replies
Apollonia: Pretty, but I feel people will resort to calling her Polly because its so long.
Augustina: Lovely, prefer Augusta.
Beatriz: Okay, but I like the version Beatrix and Beatrice a bit more.
Charlize: So Theron that it will be the only comments she gets.
Eleonora: Lovely. Prefer Eleanor.
Josefina: Beautiful
Katariina: If you mean Katarina, I think its pretty.
Liviana: I prefer Lavinia.
Marcella: I have a greatx3 grandma with this name, but its not really my thing. I find it a bit southern. Along the lines of Darlene.
Marguerite: Okay, but think of Margaritas.
Olympia: Okay, though its not terribly feminine sounding except for the -a.
Rosalind: Better than Rose and perhaps on par with Rosamund.
Sybilla: Not my thing. I don't like Sybil either.
Wilhelmina: Not my thing.

Apollonia - I never cared for it until I actually met someone with this name. She is a lovely lady and thus the name has grown on me.
Augustina - It's a it of a mouthful and in need of a nickname, but I do like it.
Beatriz - I really like this name! And I love this version of Beatrice.
Charlize - I don't care for it. It looks made-up. Plus isn't there a celebrity named Charlize??
Eleonora - Gorgeous! Not my style, but I would to meet a little Eleonora. So many good nickname options as well if you want.
Josefina - Sweet and delicate.
Katariina - Finnish? I quite like names with two i's in it, but will look like a creative spelling in English speaking countries. The name itself is not my style, I prefer the softer Katharine.
Liviana - Very pretty!
Marcella - Again I really like this name due top association. It will be nice to see this name more often.
Marguerite - I like that it is French for daisy, but the name is not my style.
Olympia - Having just finished reading the Harry Potter books, this name reminds me of a character although her name is slightly different (Olympe). She is a half-giant. The name also reminds me of the Olympic games. Ollie is cute nickname!
Rosalind - Strong name but beautiful name.
Sybilla - Reminds me of Sybil in Fawlty Towers which is perhaps not the best association. But apart from that it's quite a pretty name, perhaps a tat old fashioned.
Wilhelmina - Quite a mouthful, and rather regal. I'd probably use a nickname. Willa, Mina, Minnie?
Augustina - It's a it of a mouthful and in need of a nickname, but I do like it.
Beatriz - I really like this name! And I love this version of Beatrice.
Charlize - I don't care for it. It looks made-up. Plus isn't there a celebrity named Charlize??

Apollonia- It's ok. I feel like this is a name I should like but I just don't.
Augustina- I really like seeing this name on a list. While I like the full name, I can't seem to think of any nicknames that I like, which would be a turn off for me.
Beatriz- Prefer Beatrix
Charlize- It's nice. It's got a fun air about it.
Eleonora- love this! Classy and elegant, but not so much so that it's not cute on a little girl. Especially love the nn Nora or Nell.
Josefina- Another winner. Cute and underused.
Katariina- meh
Liviana- I like it a lot but I tend to cross it off any lists right away because it too closely resembles 2 popular naming trends in my area (the name Olivia and -ana names). It's nice though.
Marcella- Love this! I have definitely considered using Marcella as a full name for the diminutive Zella instead of using Zella as a full name.
Marguerite- Beautiful, but my SO says all he can think of is a margarita when he hears the name so it was crossed off my list
Olympia- I don't like it at all.
Rosalind- Once again, love! Beautiful and feminine, but imo, stronger that the more cutesy Rosalie.
Sybilla- Not a fan. Too closely related to the name Sybill. Which I dislike ecause it reminds me of a movie about a woman with multiple personalities. So it's an ongoing form of teasing amoung my group of friends. Like it someone loses their cool they "Went Sybill on me"
Wilhelmina- Great name! A bit clunky, but I really like it.
Augustina- I really like seeing this name on a list. While I like the full name, I can't seem to think of any nicknames that I like, which would be a turn off for me.

Wilhelmina- Great name! A bit clunky, but I really like it.
I like Charlize. Pretty yet spunky and a million miles better than the overused Charlotte in my books.
Josefina is really nice. I've like Josephine for years, but I could get used to Josefina too. I think the idea of Fi, Fia or Fina for a nickname.
Marcella isn't a name I'd ever consider, but I can definitely appreciate it on someone else.
I love the sound of Katariina, but the double i makes me feels dizzy.

Katarina is very nice, but the double-i's, if that wasn't just a typo, don't look right. Marcella is pretty, and I really like Marguerite, so much prettier than hangdog Margaret.
Those are the only ones I like.

No the double 'i' is not a typo.
Apollonia - I don't really like it. I think Apollo is kind of cool, but that feminine version just doesn't work for me at least.
Augustina - I don't like this either, pretty much the same thing, I think August is okay kind of, but that feminine version just doesn't sound pretty.
Beatriz - I like Bea, but I'm not liking the rest of the name.
Charlize - I really like Charlie, but I'm not sure how to feel about Charlize. It's okay I guess.
Eleonora - Really pretty. I like it.
Josefina - It's okay. Not my favourite, but okay.
Katariina - It's an okay name, I liked when I was younger, now I'm not that into it.
Liviana - I love Livia, so Liviana is okay.
Marcella - I don't know, I kind of like it but I don't know, something just doesn't seem right.
Marguerite - I don't like it. I like Margaret though.
Olympia - I don't like it.
Rosalind - I have this problem with Rose/Rosa names, so I don't like this one at all.
Sybilla - Just doesn't work for me.
Wilhelmina - It's kind of okay, I just don't like how it looks.
Augustina - I don't like this either, pretty much the same thing, I think August is okay kind of, but that feminine version just doesn't sound pretty.

I prefer Margaret to Marguerite as well.
