Re: looking at alt spellings

Alana/Alanna (a-LAN-a) both are fine with me
Alicia
Alison/Allison/Allyson/Alyson I hate this name, so I really don't care.

Daisy you're naming your kid for a flower, so give it the flower's actual name.

Emily
Emma
Gabriella
Georgia

Olivia the yv in Olyvia is just ugly looking.

Skye and Sky are both terrible.
Sophia, because I'm Greek, and I think this is such a pretty name.
Sydney
Tabitha to me the i makes an ih sound, like Tabihtha, while I want to pronounce the e in Tabetha like Beth, or eh.
Taran, but this is a boy's name to me too. He's the hero of the Chronicles of Prydain.
Theresa this is an older, but still pretty name with a variety of hip nicknames, but I've never met one under the age of forty.
Valerie/Valarie/Valorie these aren't pronounced the same in my accent, so I'd pick Valerie for making the eh sound I expect in this name.
