[name_f]Moira[/name_f]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]: [name_u]Love[/name_u]!
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f]: Lukewarm
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]: to me, it’s too popular
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f]: I really like this one…nn options: [name_f]Cat[/name_f] & [name_f]Lina[/name_f] ([name_u]LEE[/name_u]-na).
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]: I know this one’s in the hot seat w/Frozen, but [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] was the name of the lioness in the movie [name_m]Born[/name_m] [name_u]Free[/name_u], as well as (in the spelling of [name_f]Ilsa[/name_f]) the name of [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] Bergman’s character in Casablanca. I don’t care for the [name_f]Ilsa[/name_f] spelling, but I love [name_f]Elsa[/name_f].
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]: Patron saint of [name_u]Paris[/name_u]. I like the variant Geneveva (or Jenneveva), which provides the nn Veve or [name_f]Veva[/name_f].
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]: While I’m not crazy about plain [name_f]Cora[/name_f], I really like two similar names…[name_f]Corinna[/name_f] ([name_m]Cor[/name_m]-[name_f]RIN[/name_f]-nah) & [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f].
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]: I like [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] well enough, but like pp’s suggestions of [name_f]Liesl[/name_f] & [name_f]Alessia[/name_f]. [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f] might be a possibility. And while it’s been popular for a while, I really like [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f].
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]: I like this, although it may be too off-beat for many. [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] or [name_f]Lauryn[/name_f] are more mainstream, maybe?
[name_f]Lorena[/name_f]: I’m not sure how you pronounce this…I have a good friend w/this name & she pronounces it “Lor-[name_u]RAIN[/name_u]-ah.” Pretty sound, but there’s something about the way the letters look that’s unappealing to me.
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]: I find this to be too trendy.
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f]: I’m not fond of names w/the “[name_f]BEE[/name_f]” sound.
[name_f]Moira[/name_f]: I put this one w/[name_f]Mona[/name_f] in a category of sounds I don’t like.
Personal preferences:
Like: [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f], [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f], [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]
Neutral: [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Lorena[/name_f], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Elsa[/name_f]; [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] seems like it might get too popular, but it is pretty. [name_f]Elza[/name_f] is a similar name that I like.
Dislike:[name_f]Bianca[/name_f](never liked this name), [name_f]Moira[/name_f](sounds weird), [name_f]Cora[/name_f](ultra girly in my opinion)
I really like [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f].
I don’t much like [name_f]Bianca[/name_f], [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] or [name_f]Moira[/name_f].
Toss [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] and [name_f]Moira[/name_f]…
I like [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] and [name_f]Elsa[/name_f]…I do believe the popularity of [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] right now will be short lived.
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] - One of my GP names. As much as I love it I always associate with someone who’s a bit snotty and stuck up
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] - I prefer the [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] spelling as this one reminds me of [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] Sausages. It’s an okay name [name_f]IMO[/name_f] but honestly looks a bit dated.
[name_f]Moira[/name_f] - Unusual but common, I like this one. It has a bit of an old lady vibe so I would pair it with a fresh youthful sounding name
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] - This one is okay, a bit frilly and I would pair it with something more down to earth. The “liese” part sort of irks me and I’m not sure why, I think it’s just too many vowels and repetitive letters. This one also seems to be becoming a “go to” name
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] - I really love this one, but again it is a bit frilly. It would need a down to earth middle to balance it but I would pick something with some spunk and [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] can be a little bland.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - I really love this one and the nn [name_f]Eve[/name_f]/[name_f]Evie[/name_f] is adorable
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] _ short and sweet. I love that it has spunk and strength while sounding feminine. I do this it will get quite popular though
[name_f]Lorena[/name_f] - It reminds me of the [name_f]Mirena[/name_f] IUD so I would cross that one off
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f] - I think [name_f]Katalina[/name_f] looks better but I do adore this name and the exotic feel it has
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] - Nice name but I would let the Frozen hype die down. I don’t think it is unusable though. You’d get a lot of “like Frozen?” comments, especially with a child born after the movie.
These are ok:
4. [name_f]Bianca[/name_f]
5. [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]
6. [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
7. [name_f]Lorena[/name_f]
[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like these:
8. [name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
9. [name_f]Cora[/name_f]
10. [name_f]Moira[/name_f]
[name_m]How[/name_m] about adding [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] to your list. Ends with an ‘a’ like a lot of your names and I think it goes with your style of names, spunky and strong but still feminine.
I love the suggestions of [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] and [name_f]Elza[/name_f]! I’ve also been flirting with [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f] I bit since I put this up. I’m grateful for everyone’s feedback! I’m particularly feeling more good about [name_f]Catalina[/name_f], because I lover the nicknames.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and although [name_f]Lorena[/name_f] is not a personal fav for me it’s a lovely name.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] be [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. I also love [name_f]Vivica[/name_f].
Not a fan of [name_f]Moira[/name_f] but I like [name_f]Mira[/name_f].
Never been a fan of amneliese and [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] is too Disney at the moment. I love [name_f]Elise[/name_f] tho. [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] has a similar feel to me.
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] is really pretty and sweet. Also like more sleek [name_f]Laurel[/name_f].
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Cora[/name_f]. It’s simple and pretty and feels vintage but modern. I wish I could use this name but in [name_f]Canada[/name_f] it’s a Popular breakfast chain so that’d be weird
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f] sounds so pretty. I just think of the salad dressing right away unfortunately. other suggestions: [name_f]Calla[/name_f], [name_f]Caterina[/name_f], [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], [name_f]Carolina[/name_f], [name_f]Valentina[/name_f], [name_f]Serena[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] and [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]. Following close behind are [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]. Then is [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] and [name_f]Lorena[/name_f] and the rest I just don’t like at all ([name_f]Bianca[/name_f], [name_f]Moira[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]). Okay, I sort of like [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], but my favorites are [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] and [name_f]Catalina[/name_f].
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] - I’m so pleasantly surprised to see this on anyone’s list, I have to love it. I’d flip out (in a good way) if I met a little [name_f]Bianca[/name_f].
I’d be pretty happy if I met:
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]
[name_f]Moira[/name_f]
I’d think, “Nice name!”
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] (and does she love or hate Frozen?)
Meh, I’m a little tired of that:
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]
No:
[name_f]Lorena[/name_f] (dated)
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f] (geographic, or else salad dressing)
I’m afraid that [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] is going to be as tied to Frozen as [name_f]Arielle[/name_f] is to The [name_m]Little[/name_m] Mermaid. Sorry about that.
Other names you might like:
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]

Overall, those are very beautiful names. The only one that I don’t absolutely love is [name_f]Moira[/name_f].
Based on this list, I think you’d really like [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] or [name_f]Serena[/name_f].
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] - Quite like this. It sounds quite pretty and it isn’t too common, although I prefer [name_u]Vivian[/name_u].
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] – I much prefer [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f], but it is very attractive and not too unusual.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] – It’s a rare classic. I like it, though I doubt I would use it myself.
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] – This has grown on me recently.
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] – Probably my favourite of your list.
Dislike
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] - I have negative associations with this name so I may be bias, but it doesn’t sound very attractive to me at all.
[name_f]Moira[/name_f] – It doesn’t seem very feminine and it just sounds ugly to me sorry.
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] – It’s cute and could grow on me but NMS.
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f] – Prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f].
[name_f]Lorena[/name_f] – Very unattractive associations come to mind with this name for me. I don’t find it very sophisticated. Prefer [name_f]Lauren[/name_f].
My top 3 are [name_f]Elsa[/name_f], [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f].
I would toss [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] (too [name_f]Jolie[/name_f]), [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] (I knew a stripper named this), [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] (too common), [name_f]Cora[/name_f] (too Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u]), and [name_f]Lorena[/name_f] (to me ugly).
My favorites are [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f], [name_f]Bianca[/name_f], [name_f]Catalina[/name_f], [name_f]Elsa[/name_f], and [name_f]Moira[/name_f].
Honestly I think all the names are very pretty. My favorites from your choices are [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Moira[/name_f], [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f].
