Helena is my favorite! It is funny you describe all of these names as similar and down to earth. I don't really see
Helena as down to earth, it seems very regal and a little haughty to me. I like it a lot, though I actually prefer
Helen by a bit.
Helen seems down to earth IMO.
I think
Rebecca and
Olivia are very much similar.
Rebecca is boring but I appreciate the sturdy sound of it.
Olivia, I've always disliked because of personal association... it is a sound that I would like though. I love O names and I love lilt of -ivia.
Tabitha is different to me. It's a little whimsical and flighty and... sorceress-y. I LOOOOVE
Tabby as a nickname so much it's so cute!!!
