I almost did this with my lists. But if I'd put more than one in each category, I would have ended up with ten names per letter per gender because I have no restraint.
I like/love*:
Allegra*, Arabella, Astrid*
Beatrice, Briseis
Clementine*
Florence, Francesca
Genevieve
Iris, Isabelle, Ivy
Laurel, Leocadia, Lillian -I've never seen Leocadia before, but I like it.
Marguerite, Marigold, Melisande, Miriam
Nyx
Olympia
Susannah
Temperance, Thalia*
Violet, Vivienne
Xanthe
Apollinaire, Atlas, August
Casper
Dorian*
Edmund, Ezra
Felix
Ignatius, Isidore
Jasper
Leopold*
Maximilian -Never can decide if I like this or not actually.
Nikola
Oscar
Titus, Tycho -How could I have forgotten about the name Tycho?
