Congratulations! :smiley:

Your names are a mix of old-fashioned and classic. You have a nice selection!

Here are my thoughts on them (and no offense to you, if I don’t like them… this is just what they mean for me):

[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] - I would go for [name_f]Dotty[/name_f] or [name_f]Thea[/name_f]… a shorter, more spunky take on the name.
[name_f]Esther[/name_f] - Beautiful classic name. Can’t go wrong.
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] - No, sorry… something about it has always been off putting to me.
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - Cute, sweet… love the NN, [name_f]Tilly[/name_f]!
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] - This has become quite popular of late, but I still find it a bit rough and unfeminine.
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], which I know is the NN, but I think it is nicer overall than [name_f]Winifred[/name_f].
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] - Quite lovely and sweet.
[name_f]Finola[/name_f] - No, sorry… I dislike the way this sounds over all.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - Old classic… not my personal style, but a lovely solid name.
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] - I love flower names, but this is one that still hasn’t grown on me. Something about the way it sounds is clunky to me.
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] - Like it, but prefer [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] or [name_f]Georgette[/name_f].
[name_f]Eliora[/name_f] - Pretty… there is a lovely softness to it.
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - I really like [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], but it is one of those names that I don’t know if you can get away with it in real life… it sounds a little fairy tale and mythological (which is why I love it), but that also makes it a bit out there for some people.
[name_f]Indira[/name_f] - I really love this… Sweet, but exotic sounding… I also like [name_f]India[/name_f], and [name_u]Indiana[/name_u].
[name_f]Eudora[/name_f] - Not keen… souds a little harsh somehow… also, I find it hard to look at (my brain’s not sure how to say it).
[name_f]Twila[/name_f] - No, sorry… looks made-up.
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u]! Beautiful!
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - Gorgeous! Classic, and sweet… can’t really go wrong.
