Faves: [name]Lena[/name] by far! [name]Magnolia[/name] and [name]Zara[/name]
Least faves: [name]Brielle[/name], [name]Fallon[/name] and [name]Montana[/name]
[name]Alison[/name] - Really like it. I personally prefer the spelling Allyson, but that is just me. NN “Ali” is cute.
[name]Anastasia[/name] - Like this one, I wont use but I like on other children. NN “Tasia” works.
[name]Aurelia[/name] - Dont like this one. Not my style and never liked it.
[name]Bonnie[/name] - I tend to associate this with older sweet ladies. I havent seen it on a young child, but if you like it, make it work.
[name]Brielle[/name] - LOVE this one. I actually met a sweet 5 year old with this name. Her NN is “Bri.” But you can also use “Elle” as a NN.
[name]Claire[/name] - I like this one. But I prefer it as a MN rather than a FN.
[name]Faith[/name] - I use to like this one, but now I see it as a MN filler and it has lost its sparkle in my opinion.
[name]Fallon[/name] - Not my style. I would rather prefer Farrah over this one.
[name]Gwen[/name] - Love this one. I also like the long version of Gwendolyn with NN “Gwen.” But Gwen is strong and lovely on its own.
[name]Hope[/name] - Dont like this one. Overused as MN filler and does not do anything for me.
[name]Isla[/name] - Short and sweet.
[name]Lena[/name] - Like this but I like a long name and use “Lena” as a NN. I don’t really like it as a FN just as is. Example: Adelina NN “Lena”
[name]Magnolia[/name] - Dont like this one. I think of older lady. If you decide to use you can use NN “Maggie” or “Lia” or “Noli”
[name]Mallory[/name] - Dont like this one. I knew a girl with this name and she went by “Mal”
[name]Montana[/name] - No to this one. If you want a state name - Dakota would be my choice, but no on Montana
[name]Nadia[/name] - This one is fine, not my style but its nice.
[name]Ruby[/name] - Nice. I don’t think this one needs a NN
[name]Sadiya[/name] - Sounds pretty. Maybe you could use NN “Sadie”
[name]Tanja[/name] - Dont like this. Just the sound doesn’t really do it for me. Maybe you can use “Tanjie” as NN
[name]Wendy[/name] - Wendy is not my style. Its not horrible, I just don’t personally like it. I knew a Wendy that went by NN “Wen-wen”
[name]Zara[/name] - Love this one. Does not need a NN. Its beautiful on its own.

[name]Magnolia[/name] - not fond of the [name]Mag[/name] sound

[name]Zara[/name]
