Pandora - Adrian Mole's unattainable beloved! And a less than pleasant mythological reference.
Bernadine - sounds like an adjective; prefer Bernadette though I don't like it much.
Goldie - Ms Hawn made it a one-owner name, obliterating every second Jewish grandmother with one flutter of those epoch-making eyelashes.
Chantel - quite well liked where I live, though not by me. Faux French.
Shirin - eh?
Ivona - looks better than Yvonne but sounds just as bad.
April - a drag act kind of name. The only month name I enjoy is May (not Mae, though).
Maybelle - ouch! Really idiotic. Though I do like Mabel very much. Maybelle ignores its origins quite disrespectfully.
Oona - looks so comical, I can't take it seriously. Una is better.
Audrey - I know, I know ... but in spite of Ms Hepburn's elegant beauty, the name is dull and frumpy and plump.

Pandora - quite lovely, but probably still too closely associated with the myth. Would likely be shortened to Dora, which could be good or bad.
Bernadine - pretty neutral on this one. Prefer Bernadette, but that's probably because I've actually seen it (and I knew a lovely Bernadette once).
Goldie - a bit too nick-namey. Prefer Marigold or even Golda, though Golda's really nms.
Chantel - kind of dislike. I think it was a bit overused as a generic "singer" name in way too many shows when I was a kid? Either way, it just feels a bit tacky.
Shirin - looks like an inventive spelling of/variation on Sharon. I'm not sure how it would be pronounced, so it confuses me.
Ivona - almost feels like a last name, but I'm thinking Ivanova. In any case, I prefer Yvonne.
April - very pretty. I think of April O'Neil from Ninja Turtles, but that's a generally positive association. I also think of the month of April, so the name feels very bright an fresh, like rain and flowers.
Maybelle - feels very plain to me. I like May; I like Belle. I just don't like them glued together, I guess.
Oona - dislike. Prefer Yuna, or Una pronounced like "You-na" / "You-nuh," the name of the character from Edmund Spenser's 'The Faerie Queene' (with the meaning "unity").
Audrey - like very much. It's both feminine and strong.
Bernadine - pretty neutral on this one. Prefer Bernadette, but that's probably because I've actually seen it (and I knew a lovely Bernadette once).
Goldie - a bit too nick-namey. Prefer Marigold or even Golda, though Golda's really nms.

Pandora: perhaps for a pet or a character. I strongly feel this name on an actual child would be really silly.
Bernadine: indifferent. (The name is brand new to me)
Goldie: For a dog\other pet, sure. Goldie reminds me of my aunt's dog she used to have. (A medium-sized mix with golden fur)
Chantal: The name itself sounds very snobbish and snotty. Its funny since the only Chantal I knew, I liked. She wasn't how the name sounded like at all.
Shirin\Ivona: don't care for
April: Love! Its my favorite month name
Maybelle: unsure. Makes me think of a horse or a deep southerner
Oona: Don't care for but dislike the spelling more.
Audrey: best from this list. Absolutely georgous, classic, soft and feminine
Bernadine: indifferent. (The name is brand new to me)
Goldie: For a dog\other pet, sure. Goldie reminds me of my aunt's dog she used to have. (A medium-sized mix with golden fur)

Pandora - To me, it sounds like a sporting brand to me...
Bernadine - I quite like the sound, not sure about the look though.
Goldie - I like it but I'm not planning on giving this to a baby anytime soon.
Chantel - I've known 1 Chantel and she was talkative and messing about sometimes, so that puts me off.
Shirin - I quite the sound and meaning, but I would reserve it for someone who's mother or father is Iranian.
Ivona - My cousin's mother is called Iwona (spelled differently but pronounced quite the same) and I'm 50/50 on this.
April - It reminds me of April Jones (that little girl who got abducted and murdered a year or so ago). Since the abduction and murder, I can't decide if I should still like this name or not...
Maybelle - If it weren't for Maybelline, I would have liked this name, even if I like it just a tad bit.
Oona - I think that's the best name out of all of this. It's short and it's not popular where I live, so it's a great name for me, despite the meaning.
Audrey - I would have considered this for a future daughter, had it not increased in popularity.
Bernadine - I quite like the sound, not sure about the look though.

Pandora - it looks neat. The box though ... makes it sort of like Medea or Antigone. I don't think I'd want to be named Pandora.
Bernadine - I don't like bern-names very much.
Goldie - not for me.
Chantel - eh. I Chantel you what I really think. Prefer Chantal
Shirin - love this. There was a Shireen in my fourth grade class who was tall and gorgeous and funny and sweet and I admired the hell out of her, and so I have a really positive image of this name, besides just liking the sound of it.
Ivona - is it pronounced like Yvonne + ah? It's nice. Unfamiliar spelling, to me.
April - modest and dated and nice. I've liked all the Aprils I've met. Wouldn't use because of ape sound
Maybelle - a name for a spoilt little doggie who always has a lipstick mark on her head.
Oona - nifty name. I know a 7 year old Oona.
Audrey - great name, "classy" without being stuckup. I'm more partial to Audra, though.
Bernadine - I don't like bern-names very much.
Goldie - not for me.
Chantel - eh. I Chantel you what I really think. Prefer Chantal
