Cut 60 down to 20?!

Okay, Nameberry - bit of a task! Can you cut my 62 favourites down to your own top 20?

These are names I listed recently, most that I’d consider giving to a child. It’s a bit of a mixed bag and I know they’re not all to everyone’s taste, but please don’t out-right criticize them; I’m not asking for opinions).
Thank you! *could you also please not replace any name with a similar one (‘‘I don’t like [name_f]Viola[/name_f] but love [name_f]Violet[/name_f], so that’s my favourite’’ etc.) or change the spellings.

[name_f]Jocasta[/name_f]
[name_f]Lux[/name_f]

[b]EDIT: Results are in! The top 8 are…

  1. Beatrix
  2. Iris
  3. Florence - I’m surprised by this, actually, it’s popular here but is rarely mentioned on Nameberry
  4. Aurora
  5. Rosemary
  6. Ophelia / Sylvie
  7. Evangeline / Pearl / Viola
  8. Lena / Cosima

The rest I assumed would be low, haha, but they all at least got 2 votes. I wasn’t expecting ANY for Bibi or Honey!
Surprised by the low score of Nancy/Betsy/Kitty which are trendy in the UK and tend to get appreciation on Nameberry.

Thanks everyone for the feedback![/b]
