Adrian(n)a- It's okay. I wouldn't use it myself, but I don't mind seeing it.
Alexa- I'm not a fan of any Alex- names for girls.
Alexandra- See above, but this is at least the classic, so it wins out of the bunch.
Alexia- Same as Alexa.
Angelina- I'm not a fan of any Angel- names either, except Angeline. Funny the difference that A at the end makes.
Angelica- This one is worse than Angelina, because it makes me think of the Rugrats character and doesn't sound as clean to me.
Anika- It doesn't appeal to me. I'd probably spell it Annika, but even then it's not my cup of tea.
Arian(n)a- Very similar to Adrianna for me. I prefer Adrianna, however.
Ariane- And this one sounds incomplete, so I just can't win here.
Ariel(le)- It's not bad, though the Little Mermaid association is still strong.
Aurora- I've never liked it because I find it awkward to say.
Beatrice- Very cute, very buttoned-up, very sweet. I like it.
Bianca- It used to make me think of a spoiled, stuck-up girl, but it's grown on me.
Bryony- I prefer the spelling Briony, and it's alright. It reminds me a little too much of Brian for me to put it on my list.
Camilla- Pretty, underused floral. Maybe a tad forgettable though.
Camille- I don't like it, it sounds slimy to me.
Caroline- I like it. It's very sweet and friendly. I also find that even though it's a classic name, it's underused, at least in my area.

Angelica - too close to the word angelic
Anika - sweet, love it, almost as good as Danica

havent decided what i think of these
Alexia, Angelina, Angelica, Anika, Arian(n)a, Ariane, Bryony, Camilla, Camille, Cressida, Delphine, Diana, Dominique, Elena, Eugenie, Hazel, Jacqueline, Jade, Jennifer, Joanna, Julia, Kate, Lara, Larissa, Lucinda, Maya, Mil(l)a, Miranda, Natalia, Nicola, Ophelia, Rosalind, Samara, Talia, Veronica

Adrian(n)a: Very pretty.
Alexa: Seems annoying and babyish to me.
Alexandra: Used to like it, have grown to find it puffed-up and snotty.
Alexia: Always sounded like a medicine to me.
Angelina: Only Angel name I really like.
Angelica: Rug Rat name. It fit her perfectly.
Anika: Prissy.
Arian(n)a: Nice.
Ariane: Not as good as Ariana.

Bianca: Bonk bonk Bianca.
Bryony: Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.

Danielle: Nice, especially as a middle name.
Delphine: It's okay, but I think I slightly prefer Delfina.
Diana: Beautiful.
Dominique: Almost intimidatingly glamorous.
Elena: Nice.
Elizabeth: More effective than a sleeping pill.

Emilia: Never liked, and I consider it pronounced the same as Amelia, which I also find dull and prissy.
Emma: Just an ugly mumble.
Eugenie: Silly.
Gemma: Tacky. Prefer Jenna.
Genevieve: Some bejeweled and fur-draped old woman striding around town with her nasty little dog in her purse.
Georgia: Dowdy.
Grace: Nice, a bit overused as a middle name.
Hazel: As far as old-lady-names-that-have-gotten-fashionable, it's more bearable than Ella or Charlotte.
Isabel(le): Overfed and overdressed.
Isabella: Even more so.
Jacqueline: Very nice. I also like Jaclyn.
Jade: A bit tacky but goes well as a middle name.
Jasmine: Pretty.
Jemma: Even tackier than Gemma.
Jennifer: Never liked it, I think it's the fer ending.

---

Alexa - seems slightly trashy to me.
Alexandra - beautiful name, but I was so overwhelmed with Alex's (male and female) growing up that it feels dull.
Alexia - Is a learning disability.
Angelina - Too frilly for me.
Angelica - Too frilly and I find the sentiment a little saccharine.
Anika - pretty
Arian(n)a - pretty
Ariane - A bit too similar to the word Aryan perhaps, unless you have the heritage to back that up.
Ariel(le)- I prefer the Arielle spelling, but I prefer Ariella as a whole.
Aurora - nice enough name, but I find it difficult to say the repeated R's.
Beatrice - One of my favourites, it's soft and sweet, but still has such a strong feel
Bianca - okay, no strong feelings one way or the other.
Bryony - Pretty.
Camilla - Lovely, I don't know why this doesn't get more love.
Camille - I don't really like the English pronunciation of this, it sounds like someone doesn't know how to say Chamomile. Of course it's masculine in French.
Caroline - Pretty.
Charlotte - I can never get past the "harlot" part.
Cordelia - Lovely, but a bit dramatic for my taste.
Cressida - Too frilly, and sounds like toothpaste.
Danielle - nice, a bit dated.
Delphine - very nice.
Diana - Pretty and underused.
Dominique - too masculine to me.

These ones I like...

---

Ariana
Bryony
Camille
Gemma
Isabel spelt Isobel
Jade
Lily
Talia spelt Tahlia
Tess
Tessa

-Love-
Arian(n)a
Aurora: It's feminine, but the nn Rory can make it more unisex.
Cordelia
Cressida: I wish it was more common here.
Delphine
Elena
Gemma: I've never met a Gemma; I could definitely see it working on any age. Gem or Gemmy would be adorable nns on a little girl.
Hazel: It's vintage-y, but modern at the same time.
Jemma: (see Gemma)
Nadia
Naomi: I like how international it is. There may be pronunciation differences, but it seems like it can be said everywhere.
Natalie
Natalia
Ophelia: Such a beautiful name, it's a shame that it has a negative association. I would love to see more little Ophelias running around, so the Shakespearean association isn't the first to come to mind.

-Like-
Adrian(n)a: good nn potential and they are all pretty imo.
Anika
Alexandra: good nn potential.
Ariane
Diana: I like it, especially the pronunciation D-ana
Elizabeth: As a first name, I like the nickname potential and how classic it is. I'm not a big fan as a middle name since it was such a common middle name for girls when I was growing up.
Emily
Emma
Georgia
Jade: short and sweet
Juliet(te)
Leah
Maya
Mil(l)a
Rosalind
Samara: Very pretty, some cute nns too.
Tess: more of a nn to me, but I think it could stand alone
