Hello Berries, I am currently looking for names that give an ethereal or fairy tale “feel” to them. I would also like your opinion on these names:

[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Ella[/name]
[name]Belle[/name] ( not so sure if this would be odd since it is a french word)
[name]Guinevere[/name] nn [name]Gwen[/name]
[name]Odette[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Cassandra[/name] nn [name]Cassie[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] or [name]Sofia[/name]
[name]Lilia[/name]

Thank you for your time

Edited to give opinions on your choices:

[name]Rose[/name] - [name]Lovely[/name] up front, vintage and charming.
[name]Ella[/name] - Common but nice
[name]Belle[/name] ( not so sure if this would be odd since it is a french word) - Not odd at all, given the popularity of [name]Isabel[/name], [name]Isobel[/name], and [name]Isabelle[/name] – many of whom go by [name]Belle[/name]
[name]Guinevere[/name] nn [name]Gwen[/name] - I like this one a lot
[name]Odette[/name] - Like this one too — [name]Guinevere[/name] [name]Odette[/name] would be amazing, but maybe too fairy tale/dainty
[name]Eloise[/name] - Like it
[name]Cassandra[/name] nn [name]Cassie[/name] - Nice and solid
[name]Alice[/name] - Like it
[name]Sophia[/name] or [name]Sofia[/name] - Common, but nice
[name]Lilia[/name] - Very cute, but might be confused with all the other [name]Lily[/name] names

[name]Rose[/name]- Nice, but no longer fairy tale.
[name]Ella[/name]- Very pretty! Some say trendy, but I think it’s a classic.
[name]Belle[/name]- Gorgeous!
[name]Guinevere[/name] nn [name]Gwen[/name]- [name]One[/name] of my favorite names ever!
[name]Odette[/name]- Very pretty.
[name]Eloise[/name]- Eh.
[name]Cassandra[/name] nn [name]Cassie[/name]- I like it.
[name]Alice[/name]- Beautiful. Very pretty and classic.
[name]Sophia[/name] or [name]Sofia[/name]- [name]Sophia[/name] is the #1 most common name, and I think that has stripped it of any fairy tale feel.
[name]Lilia[/name]- Very pretty!

My suggestions:
[name]Liliana[/name]
[name]Sophronia[/name]/Sophitia (so-[name]FEE[/name]-ti-ah)- [name]Don[/name]'t know where I heard the second one, but I like it!
[name]Ondine[/name]
[name]Melisande[/name]
[name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Arabella[/name]
[name]Gwendolyn[/name]

And I totally agree about Elowen, [name]Nerissa[/name], [name]Carys[/name] & [name]Una[/name]!

[name]Love[/name], love, [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Belle[/name]! I would definitely use it myself, but the Twilight/[name]Bella[/name] craze ruined it for me. Honestly, it’s the only name on your list that I like, but I do love your idea of ethereal/fairy tale theme. Good luck!

[name]Rose[/name] – [name]Rose[/name] seems boring to me. I like longer forms like [name]Rosaline[/name]
[name]Ella[/name] – this is another boring one to me, sorry
[name]Belle[/name] – I really love [name]Belle[/name] on it’s own. Very pretty and soft
[name]Guinevere[/name] nn [name]Gwen[/name] – using this one. Sounds regal and beautiful and just a little storybook esque
[name]Odette[/name] – I love this one too for the ballet. It’s ber pretty
[name]Eloise[/name] – I like it, but generally as a middle name
[name]Cassandra[/name] nn [name]Cassie[/name] – Using this one too. Sounds spunky and sophisticated at the same time.
[name]Alice[/name] – I love [name]Alice[/name] for it’s classic sound and literary connection
[name]Sophia[/name] or [name]Sofia[/name] – [name]Love[/name] it but it’s so popular!
[name]Lilia[/name] – this was on our list for a while. Very pretty
