I like Catherine, Laura, Willow, Victoria, Elise, Louise, Tessa, Madeleine, Liam, Xavier, Alexander, Julius, Flynn, Phineas, Oliver, Tristan, and Jasper.

---

Especially Oliver (my number one!), Xavier, Jasper, Tristan, and Victoria.

I'm a fan of:

Zara
Niamh
Victoria
Tessa
Madeleine -but hate Maddie

Liam -as a nickname
Xavier
Brodie -spelled Brody

I like:

---

Isobel
Eloise
Catherine - really prefer it with a C for some reason
Laura - great choice ;)
Louise
Madeleine

---

Xavier
Tristan
Matthias

Isobel: Isabel is just okay, Isobel just doesn't look right.
Zara: Seems science-fictiony.
Eloise: Limp and whiny while trying hard to be Victorian.
Matilda: Hate it, will never understand its trendiness.
Catherine: It's harmless but dull.
Niamh: I know it's pronounced Neev, which I think it an ugly sound, but the spelling reminds me of the kids' classic "Mrs. Frisbee and the Rats of NIMH." National Institutes of Mental Health, if I recall. Mrs. Frisbee was a rat herself.
Laura: Very nice, wil never really be out of style.
Alexandra: Annoying, overrated. I do like Alexis.
Willow: It's okay, but only just okay.
Mia: The sound of a cat demanding to be let out.
Victoria: This is like Alexandra's identical twin, style and annoyance wise.
Elise: Slithery and posh.
Elisabeth: Yawn. Even the more unusual s can't make it any less boring.
Louise: Not bad, especially as a middle name.
Tessa: Baby talk sounding.
Michaela: Love the sound, don't care for this spelling even if it is the original. Makayla or Mikayla.
Madeleine: Blah. This spelling is obnoxious.
Cristina: Love it, but much prefer Christina or Kristina.
Caspian: Fanfictiony.
Liam: Whiny, weak, yuppie.
Zac: Looks medical, like Prozac. Zachary is irritating but bearable.
Heath: Hate it, sound and look.
Xavier: Kind of neat.
Alexander: No. Alex is okay.
Julius: Comical; probably better in fiction than in real life at this point.
Jarvis: Ugly.
Flynn: Liam's whiny little brother. They probably have a sister named Lulu or Evie.
Phineas: Always thought this sounded like a body part, possibly in the nose.
Oliver: Hate this. Slithers in the mouth like liver.
Christian: It's okay.
Tristan: It's very nice. A bit easy to mishear as the girls' name Kristen.
Jasper: Matilda's obnoxious hipster brother.
Isaac: Not bad at all.
Matthias: Not as bad as Matthew but that's not saying very much.
Aaron: Not a big favorite but it's not bad.
Brodie: Bratty Brody.

Isobel - I love it but prefer Isabel.
Zara - Love this! So interesting. It seems modern and ancient simultaneously.
Eloise - Cute. I prefer plain old Louise, though.
Matilda - I'm afraid this will be very badly dated.
Catherine - I love it but prefer Katherine.
Niamh - very pretty
Laura - happy to see this! A solid classic.
Alexandra - I've never thought the sound was particularly pretty but it's a nice name, I guess.
Willow - Have never liked this
Mia - nor this
Victoria - it's too self-consciously fancy for me.
Elise - I should like this but I don't. I LOVE Eliza, though.
Elisabeth - Love it but prefer the "z"
Louise - Love it!
Tessa - cute
Michaela - don't particularly care for it. I'm sure others will celebrate it for its original spelling.
Madeleine - It's ok. I do prefer Madeline pronounced with the LINE like the books.
Cristina - Like it but prefer it with the "h"
Caspian - quite dramatic for a real child
Liam - Don't care for it. Love William.
Zac - it's like the quintessential 1990s cool kid name.
Heath - nope.
Xavier - too dramatic.
Alexander - very handsome.
Julius - I think this could be adorable on the right kid.
Jarvis - Sounds bumbling.
Flynn - too surnamy.
Phineas - pretty cool
Oliver - I like it but it's going to be dated.
Christian - like it
Tristan - nah
Jasper - it would feel affected here, but it's a cool name.
Isaac - it's growing on me
Matthias - meh
Aaron - really don't like this name at all.
Brodie - absolutely detest this name
