I love:
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u]
I would drop:
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]

[name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Thora[/name_f]
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
I prefer these variations of the names- they sound more fresh and not overusedish:
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]…[name_f]Helen[/name_f]
[name_f]Elisabetta[/name_f]…[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f]…[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Carolina[/name_f] or [name_f]Coraline[/name_f]…[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoire[/name_f]…[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]…[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
Started by cutting out names either don’t like, don’t think eminently wearable or else too hip/had its day/too trendy etc. Then have grouped the rest and suggested ways you could further reduce list. Finally given some potential combos. Not all “perfect” but tried to use all the names there or close to! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] helps.
[name_f]Helen[/name_f]- [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]/[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lenora[/name_f]- [name_u]Lennie[/name_u]/[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]- [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]/[name_f]Nellie[/name_f]/[name_f]Nora[/name_f]/[name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f]- [name_f]Ella[/name_f]/[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]- [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]/[name_u]Penny[/name_u]/[name_f]Nellie[/name_f]/[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
*Would pick 2 or 3 of the above 5 names - I like [name_f]Helen[/name_f]/ [name_f]Helena[/name_f] or [name_f]Lenora[/name_f].

*Pick one or two of the above 4 names
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] or [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] (*pick 1 or 2 of these 3 names to stay, I love [name_f]Eve[/name_f].)
[name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] (see this on a certain type of genius kid)
[name_f]Eugenie[/name_f] (probably middle only given pronunciation issues but really like)
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] (keep if you’d really use, I love but struck off list as realised would never use with nn Daffie/Daph)
[name_f]Liberty[/name_f]- [name_f]Libby[/name_f] or [name_u]Bertie[/name_u]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] or [name_f]Willa[/name_f]
(*You could prob take off another 1 of the above 5 names once you’ve decided between [name_f]Willow[/name_f] and [name_f]Willa[/name_f])
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]- [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]/[name_f]Lottie[/name_f]

[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]- [name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]- [name_f]Libby[/name_f]/[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]/[name_f]Ella[/name_f]/[name_f]Beth[/name_f]/[name_f]Lily[/name_f] - don’t like [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] at all. Would choose [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Beth[/name_f] or [name_f]Lilibet[/name_f]. [name_f]Ella[/name_f], I’d probably just use [name_f]Ella[/name_f].
*Would pick top 5 or 6 max of the above 9 names as serve similar purpose or assign half to middle names
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]

[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
(*Could pick [name_f]Stella[/name_f] or [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] if want to cut further, prefer [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] for a girl.)
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] (would you use even with legacy/memory of [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Di[/name_f] or non-issue? Am married to a [name_u]Brit[/name_u] so it’s a non-starter)
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]- [name_f]Immy[/name_f]/[name_f]Genna[/name_f]
(*Could pink either [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] or [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], I like both, [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] marginally more.)
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]- [name_f]Essie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f]- [name_f]Ruthie[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]- [name_f]Etta[/name_f]/[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]
(*Above 3 names could be reduced to 2 as same vibe/ theme. This would be my hardest cull as I adore these, but [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] would probably go.)

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] (love [name_f]Iris[/name_f]- it has a great sound)
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]-(couldn’t decide between the nicknames - all of them are so fun and sweet, and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] has a great sound))
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] (I’ve been liking [name_f]Stella[/name_f] recently, it has such a distinct and pretty sound)
