Re: choose your favourite

Are the ones on the first list supposed to be gender neutral?
I like for girls:
Adela - I also like Adeline, but I wonder how most people pronounce it.
Angela - I find all the other Angel- names too frilly.
Bella - Though I find both cheesy.
Bronwen - Yay for feminine spelling!
Cassandra
Cerys
Clarisse - prefer spelled Clarice though.
Alban
August - Augustin is a close second.
Asher - unless you mean for a girl, then Ashley.
Alexis - I love Aleksey, but I don't think this is the most intuitive spelling in English
Casper
Also, what do you think of the following used as girl's names? Ugh, None!
And the following on boys?
Carol - Maybe a bit hard to pull off today, but I've known male Carols.
Elrose - I've never heard of this before, but it seems like a surname so I don't know why it wouldn't work for a boy.
Jade - I see this as completely unisex.
Marie -I wouldn't recommend it as a first name in the Western World, but Marie is used as a male name in many languages.
