[name_f]Fenella[/name_f] - intriguing. I like that it’s unusual but has that familiar -ella ending, but I like [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] much more. The Fen- beginning feels innately masculine for me; maybe because I associate it with Fenwick and Fenway, and other masculine-ish sorts of things. I dig [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f], or even just [name_f]Fiora[/name_f], though. 
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] much more, but [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] is cool. I think it has a lot of cool nns, like [name_f]Jemma[/name_f], [name_f]Maya[/name_f], [name_u]Jem[/name_u], [name_f]Mimi[/name_f], and [name_f]Mia[/name_f]… I’m trying not to see it in the light of the offensiveness here in [name_u]America[/name_u], but even so, before I knew it was offensive, I still wasn’t a huge fan. It seems really fusty and old-fashioned to me.
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] - love this! [name_f]My[/name_f] issues are the lack of nns (or at least, I lack in loving the nicknames!), but I do love [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]. Also the Catalan form, Beatriu (bee-ah-troo. It’s so much fun to say!).
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] - you know I love it. haha. I would love to meet an [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]!
[name_f]Sibylla[/name_f] - I have grown to appreciate [name_u]Billie[/name_u] as a nn, but I like the fuller [name_f]Sybilla[/name_f]/[name_f]Sibylla[/name_f] much more, personally! I like the [name_f]Sybilla[/name_f] spelling way more than [name_f]Sibylla[/name_f], but it’s still a great name. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it a lot.
[name_f]Jessa[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] much more. I’ve never been a huge fan of [name_u]Jess[/name_u]- names. I like [name_f]Jessa[/name_f] much more than [name_f]Jessica[/name_f], [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f], or [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f], though.
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - meh. I want to like it, but I just can’t get into it. I love the fruit, though.
[name_f]Annabella[/name_f] - omgoodness, I adore [name_f]Annabella[/name_f]! I think I first started loving it when I saw it on your list, actually, but I just think it’s so lush and Italian; such a fun name! So much more interesting than half the [name_f]Bella[/name_f] names out there (more interesting than my favorite [name_f]Bella[/name_f] name, [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], too, although I still like [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] more). I think you could get [name_u]Billie[/name_u] out of this, too. [name_f]Annabella[/name_f] “[name_u]Billie[/name_u]”. It could work. Provides a nice spectrum of frilly to tomboyish, too, for whatever her personality is.
[name_f]Lettice[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Lettie[/name_f] (not as much as [name_f]Lottie[/name_f], but ah, well), and I love [name_f]Elise[/name_f]/[name_f]Lise[/name_f]/[name_f]Lisette[/name_f], but I’m just not loving [name_f]Lettice[/name_f] at all. I think people would confuse it with lettuce and lattice (believe it or not, I think of lattice with [name_f]Lettice[/name_f] more than lettuce…) way too much. I just don’t find it that appealing personally, but I would love to see [name_f]Lettie[/name_f] or [name_f]Lottie[/name_f].
[name_u]Ailbhe[/name_u] - lovelovelove the sound of [name_u]Alva[/name_u]! It’s always seemed semi masculine for me, but I love the idea of [name_u]Alva[/name_u] on a girl now. I feel like there’s a huge disconnect between [name_u]Ailbhe[/name_u] and the sound of [name_u]Alva[/name_u] for me, in my brain somewhere, but I do love the sound. I’m down for using traditional spellings (especially if they work, like in the UK!), though, so even with my personal misgivings, [name_u]Ailbhe[/name_u] prn al-vah gets a huge yes from me.
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] - I like other [name_f]Rose[/name_f] names much more (namely [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]!), but [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]'s funky and timeless. I like [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] much more than [name_u]Romy[/name_u], but [name_u]Romy[/name_u]'s cool, too.
[name_f]Annabella[/name_f], [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f], and [name_f]Sybilla[/name_f]/[name_f]Sibylla[/name_f] are my favorites.
[name_m]Ah[/name_m], I also adore [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]! It’s on my list as a middle, but I’d love to see it used up front. [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] I used to love, but these past several years, I’ve much preferred [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] to it.
