HelpRe: This or that (PNL)

Theodora - I just like the sound better
Esther - This was a really difficult one because I love both Eliza and Esther. Esther won out because it doesn't end in 'a'.
Octavia - It has a richer sound than Olympia
Meredith - It has a pleasant sound and might mean "sea lord." What's not to love? Millicent sounds like an elderly smoker and Millie is an insipid nickname.
Ava - Esme reminds me of asthma.
Felicity - Marina isn't very distinctive and reminds me of gross oily marina water.
Pearl - I like Lois because of the association with Lois Lane, but ultimately Pearl has a much more pleasing sound.
Athena - This was a very tough one, but it's hard to pass up the goddess of wisdom as a namesake.
Sophia - Unless you're Hungarian, Zsofia sounds like being weird for the sake of being weird, and almost nobody would know how to pronounce it.
Eloise - Like many city names, Paris is tacky. (I do know Paris is a mythological figure, but the city is the primary association nowadays).
