Iris or Violet?
Violet, it's less sour.
Gemma or Isla? Gemma, I guess, only because its pronunciation is much clearer.
Audrey or Edith?
Audrey. At least it's somewhat more current.
Alice or Alyssa?
Alyssa, no contest; I don't see any charm in Alice.
Philippa or Penelope?
Penelope, only for the nn Penny. Philippa sucks.
Silas or Cyrus?
Hate them both, but Cyrus is slightly less creepy.
Julian or Adrian?
Julian, only for the nn Jules.
Raymond or Myron?
Raymond. Got no problem with Raymond.
Sebastian or Xavier?
Xavier, it's much less sickly.
Damien or Dashiell?
Damian. Dashiell is irritating and pretentious.
