[name]Elodie[/name] - seems a bit clunky, don’t care for the emphasis on “odie,” too close to odious
[name]Ella[/name] - nice but super popular right now
[name]Claire[/name] - one of my favorites on your list, cute and spunky
[name]Emmeline[/name] - a bit too frilly for my taste
[name]Elise[/name] - another favorite from your list
[name]Amelie[/name] - would not use unless I had a French background
[name]Eilidh[/name] - too many pronunciation issues
[name]Juliette[/name] - prefer the [name]Juliet[/name] spelling
[name]Penelope[/name] - I picture [name]Penelope[/name] as very quiet and demure
[name]Arden[/name] - not my favorite, sounds more like the adjective ardent than a name (or like garden with out the g)
[name]Edit[/name]: If [name]Clara[/name] is now in contention it is my favorite of your list. Short and spunky yet also sweet and feminine with the Nutcracker Ballet connection.
