My favorites are Charlotte, Juliet, and Kiera.

---

I like Matilda.

---

Matilda Lux
Matilda Charlotte
Matilda Sophie
Matilda Juliet
Matilda Rosalie
Matilda Isobel
Matilda Poppy

---

idk if you want suggestions of names not on the list.

---

Amelie- It's cute and pretty, but doesn't make a huge impact on me.
Alice- I think Alice is a nice, underused classic. I like the Wonderland association.
Annabel- I've been reconsidering this one lately. It's sweet and demure.
Arden- It's a bit harsher than a lot of your other choices, but I do like the unisex quality of it.
Charlotte- It's nice, can't go wrong with it, just not my favorite.
Caroline- I like this one a lot, and even though it's a well-known classic, I don't often hear it.
Elena- I used to like it a lot, but it's fallen on my list, mainly because there are other names I like more.
Eleanor- I love Eleanor. It's cozy, ready for a comeback, and has a lot of nickname choices.
Isla- It's pretty and quite feminine, but I'm tired of it. I don't see it in real life, just often on this website.
Isabelle- I really only like the spelling Isabel, but this would be my second choice. It is quite popular at the moment, but rightly so- it's a nice name.
Isobel- This is my least favorite spelling.
Juliet- Beautiful. I love it. There is a romantic quality to it that's really appealing.
Kiera- I would prefer Kira or Keira.
Laura- Can't go wrong with it. It's grown on me, and I appreciate the timelessness of it.
Lux- This to me doesn't fit in with your other choices. It's rather out-there comparatively. I'm also just not a fan in general, as it doesn't sound very name-like to me.
Louisa- This is homey and summery. Not my favorite, but it's not bad.

I also really think Liesl Charlotte I beautiful, though I much prefer Liesel :)

I like a lot of names from your list, but I would only go with your absolute favorites for the first names.

---

The combos I would like best are:

---

Alice Eleanor
Annabel (though I prefer Anabel)
Isla Caroline
Isobel Amelie(though I prefer Isabel. This would also be nice as Isobel Amelia)
Matilda Louisa

Alice Juliet
Poppy Louisa
Annabel Matilda
Matilda Rosalie

Pretty nice names, on the whole.

---

I have used Caroline as a fn for a daughter, and Alice for a cat.

---

I like these enough to use as fns: Eleanor, Isobel, Laura.

---

I like these enough to use as mns: Annabel, Juliet, Matilda. Laura Juliet would be very pretty!

---

I know a newborn Poppy Isla! Don't like the name much, but the baby's lovely.

---

I dislike: Amelie (prefer Emily), Arden, Charlotte, Elena (prefer Helen or Eleanor), Kiera, Lux (too soapy), Mia (trite), Molly and Scarlett.

---

Of your starred favourites, I like Annabel, Alice and Matilda.
Other names I like from your list are Juliet, Louisa, Molly, Rosalie and Scarlett.

---

Combo's I'd make from your list:

---

Scarlett Rosalie
Alice Louisa
Molly Juliet
Annabel Mia

Rosalie Arden would be my choice.

My favorite, by far, is Alice.

---

I intensely, intensely dislike Liesl.

---

Lux and Poppy live in the land of the absurd, sorry.

---

All the others fill some middle ground:

---

Amelie -- don't like much.
Annabel -- OK but trendy.
Arden -- fine on a boy, not so fine on a girl.
Charlotte -- nice.
Caroline -- a solid classic.
Elena -- nice.
Eleanor -- good, solid classic.
Isla -- don't like much. Trendy.
Isabelle -- too popular.
Isobel -- not sure if this is pronounced with a long O. Don't think so, but why muddy the picture? Don't like this.
Juliet -- fine but a bit prissy.
Kiera -- as someone mentioned, another name with pronunciation issues.
Laura -- I like this almost as much as Alice.
Louisa -- a bit prissy but still, a nice one.
Mia -- somewhat insubstantial but OK I suppose.
Matilda -- OK.
Molly -- This was the name of my first stuffed rabbit and I can't shake the association.
Niamh -- Now talk about your pronunciation issues....
Rosalie -- fussy and prissy.
Scarlett -- so-so

Of your starred faves, one of which I think you should use if you can, I like:
Isla, Sophie, Annabel. In that order.

---

I think all the names on your list are good first names, except for Kiera, Lux, and Poppy. (Because Kiera leaves you wondering how it's pronounced (KEER-a? Kee-EHR-a?), Lux seems affected, and Poppy will sound blowsy in 20 years IMO.)

---

I think Liesl Charlotte is a really flowy appealing combination.
Isla Caroline, Sophie Louisa, Laura Scarlett, Arden Juliet

I like many of these. My faves are:

---

Amelie
Alice
Annabel
Caroline
Elena
Eleanor
Isla
Isabelle
Isobel
Juliet
Laura
Louisa
Matilda
Molly
Niamh
Rosalie
Sophie

---

Isabelle / Isobel and Sophie are great although popular so they don't appeal to me as much as they once did. Overall, my faves are Caroline, Juliet and Louisa. An idea: Since Matilda is one of your faves, it might be the way to go since it's full of charm and spunk and isn't too common.

My fave combos would be:

---

Amelie Charlotte / Amelie Mia
Alice Matilda / Alice Rosalie
Arden Sophie / Arden Rosalie
Louisa Poppy / Louisa Charlotte
Liesel Poppy / Liesel Matilda
Matilda Poppy / Matilda Sophie
Molly Isabelle
Poppy Louisa / Poppy Charlotte

---

My top 3 are (not in order):

---

Alice Matilda
Matilda Poppy
Poppy Louisa

I say Juliet or Rosalie. The rest I either don't like (examples: Matilda, Kiera, Laura) or I am neutral about (examples: Alice, Eleanor), or I like but they're too trendy, (examples: Scarlett, Annabel) or I don't like and they're too trendy (examples: Charlotte, Isabelle and Isobel), or I think they are utterly ridiculous (example: Poppy, Lux.)

I favorites from this list are Alice, Eleanor, Kiera, Laura, Louisa and Matilda. I have loved Alice for a long time so that is what I would choose. Liesl Charlotte also stands out to me; it is lovely!
