Elspeth for sure =) I really like "E" names though.
Catriona and Fiona are really pretty too.
I would prefer Brigitta over Bridget and Aileen feels a little boring to me.

I've got an Aileen friend, but as a name I really don't enjoy it. Most -een names don't appeal to me.I like Elspeth and Fiona about equally, closely followed by Bridget. And Catriona looks beautiful but sounds less so; plus, people would probably guess it was four syllables instead of three. Elspeth, Fiona and Bridget all sound healthy, energetic and intelligent, if that makes sense.

Fiona is my favorite.Catriona is nice. It seems calmer and less aggressive than Katrina.Bridget is alright - seems sort of heavy to me though, and dated.Aileen: I prefer Eileen. I like it but it's not a favorite. I think of it as similar to Irene. Old, but not old-ladyish. Sorta professional, not very girly.Elspeth I don't care for the sound of. speth like spitting. It has some charm but still, yuck.

In order of preference: Elspeth- have always loved this name.
Aileen - I used to not like it, but it's really really growing on me.
Fiona - pretty, but a bit common for my taste
Bridget - I like it more than dislike it, but I don't have strong feelings.
Catriona - definitely prefer this spelling, but not really a fan of the name.
