Charlotte: I used to really like this but its lost a bit of its luster. I do really love the nn Lottie, though.
Olivia: Never been a fan, which makes me feel sad because my new elementary-aged step niece is named this and I have to pretend to like it. Maybe it will grow on me.
Sophia: Love. Too bad its so popular.
Savannah: I don't really like this for my own kid. Just as I wouldn't name my kid Tundra or Swamp.
Lara: Eh, neutral.
Violet: I like this.
Stella: Lovely.
Eve: Ditto
Zoe: Don't like, never have. Reminds me of the Sesame St character.
Emma: Love, too bad its so popular.
Matilda: I like this. Its not as popular over here in the US.
Isla: Sweet.
Harper: You should see my face. I just envision a nagging woman...a harper.
Willow: Pretty vision.
Sienna: Not my thing.
Lily: Too popular and I don't like the flower. I prefer the vintage appeal of Lillie.
Holly: I've never liked this and I think its dated.
Paige: Ew.
Eloise: Cute.
Annabelle: Prefer Anabel. Everyone thinks of cows, though.
Georgia: Okay, but would never use.
Phoebe: Okay but forever tied to Bouffet.
Summer: Ew.
Jasmine: Pretty. I think its associated with the Aladdin character though and so many little girls, particularly black and hispanic, were given this name after the movie came out. So, while I could like it on a newborn I don't like it on my peers.

Charlotte - not my favorite of the classics. Kind of stuffy.
Olivia - I used to like it a lot more than I like it now. Now I don't care for the sound.
Sophia - I prefer Sophie but I'm not in love with either.
Savannah - Oh, I really hate this. I'm surprised to hear it's caught on in Australia. I think of this as American kitsch.
Lara - Like it a lot. I'm surprised it's popular since it's so similar to Laura and everyone always thinks it's dated.
Violet - I'm over it. It's lost its charm.
Stella - Never cared for it.
Eve - So beautiful. I love it.
Zoe - It's my dog's name. I love it because of her, but don't really care for it otherwise.
Emma - Will always love Emma. So beautiful.
Matilda - It's coming close to Violet status.
Isla - The sound is kind of pretty.
Harper - Despise
Willow - Loathe
Sienna - Detest
Lily - Not a favorite.
Holly - Really hate this. I'm surprised it's popular because it's dated here.
Paige - Hate it. Ditto above.
Eloise - Cute, but prefer Louise.
Annabelle - prefer Annabel but I have a forever soft spot for this beautiful if over-the-top name.
Georgia - This has been growing on me. I love Georgie as a nn.
Phoebe - It's ok. Friends makes it better.
Summer - Find it really tacky.
Jasmine - ditto
Layla - Can't make myself like it but feel like I should.
Poppy - I think it's charming but I think if I had to hear it as much as Brits/Australians, I'd be sick of it.

Ok I'm tired I'll do the boys later... maybe.

Seeing as I live in Australia, I have to respond to this!

Charlotte- Very popular but I dislike Charlotte
Olivia- See Charlotte
Sophia- I much prefer this to Sophie so I'm glad it's popular
Savannah- I like it a lot less than I used to
Lara- See Charlotte
Violet- I'm surprised this is popular here, I don't mind it
Stella- Again, I'm surprised this is popular, I don't like Stella though
Eve- I find that Evie and Eva are more common than Eve, I don't like any
Zoe- I haven't found this nearly as popular as Chloe, I do like Zoe though
Emma- Always very popular, it's okay but not special
Matilda- I'm surprised by how far down this is in America
Isla- Nice
Harper- Meh
Willow- I love this name, I like that it's becoming popular but I hope it doesn't skyrocket
Sienna- Been popular for a while
Lily- Very popular and understandably so
Holly- I have heard this a lot lately! I find it a lovely name
Paige- It's okay
Eloise- Nice enough
Annabelle- Nice enough
Georgia- I do find Georgia to be popular and I just don't like it! I actually prefer Jorja
Phoebe- I don't find this popular where I am

It is quite refreshing to see Darcy so popular for boys. It's a name that I definitely prefer on boys, but I seem to be in the minority on that. Still, quite refreshing. I think Darcy and Stella would be a lovely sibset.
