Rafaela - really like, has style and flair, and refreshingly uncommon (at least where I live). I prefer Raphaela.
Philippa - I like it in theory, dislike nn Pippa though.
Leonarda - never heard before, doesn't strike me as particularly feminine and dislike the "narda" sound. I like Leonardo on a boy. Would love to see Leocadia on a girl!
Virginia - never saw the appeal of this name, can't get past the "virgin" part and I don't find it flattering or nice sounding. Feels like a strict/uptight old lady name. Ginny is a cute nn but I like it for Ginevra.
Antonia - I find it similar in style to Raphaela, but somehow it just doesn't appeal. I've never liked the name Tony, maybe that's why.
Floranca - this name is too foreign to me and I wouldn't have known how to pronounce it correctly if you didn't provide the info. I can see the appeal though.
Claudia - have been thinking a lot about this name lately! Another one with similar vibe to Raphaela for me. I really want to like it, but the meaning puts me off...
Georgia - boring and overused. Much prefer something different like Georgiana or Georgette.
