[name]Alexandra[/name]/[name]Alexandria[/name]? Only because [name]Alexandria[/name] is a city not too far from here, so that’s my first thought. [name]Oscar[/name]/[name]Oskar[/name]? [name]Oskar[/name] just seems misspelled. [name]Violet[/name]/[name]Violetta[/name]? I lean toward the “simpler” and “less frilly” version of names most of the time.
[name]Caterina[/name]/[name]Katarina[/name]? Not sure why.
[name]Hanna[/name]/[name]Hannah[/name]? [name]Hanna[/name] looks incomplete. [name]Louise[/name]/[name]Louisa[/name]? It’s my mom’s middle name, which is after her dad, so I’m a bit biased. [name]Carl[/name]/[name]Karl[/name]? [name]Just[/name] not a huge fan of k’s instead of c’s most of the time. [name]Natalie[/name]/[name]Natalia[/name]? Again, I prefer the less “frilly” version.
[name]Katherine[/name]/[name]Catherine[/name]? Honestly, I don’t know. I go back and forth on this one! [name]Christina[/name]/[name]Kristina[/name]?
I’ll respond to the additions, sorry if I missed any!
[name]Stephen[/name]/[name]Steven[/name]? Only slightly, I like both. [name]Mikayla[/name]/[name]Michaela[/name]? This probably sounds weird but I think I actually slightly prefer [name]Mikayla[/name]! I don’t know why though. [name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name]? Less frilly. [name]Madeline[/name]/[name]Madeleine[/name]/[name]Madelyn[/name]? Most straightforward. [name]Elizabeth[/name]/[name]Elisabeth[/name]? I always want to say ee-lees-a-beth instead of ee-liz-a-beth.
[name]Johnathon[/name]/[name]Jonathon[/name]? Also slightly prefer [name]Jon[/name] as a nn. [name]Noah[/name]/[name]Noa[/name]? Well, [name]Noa[/name] is a girl’s name but TBH I feel like some people use that as a way of “getting around” using a boy name on a girl (as in “it’s not a boy’s name! It’s a girls name! Look! Ha, I’m right you’re wrong!”). [name]Joseph[/name]/[name]Josef[/name]? [name]Amelia[/name]/[name]Emilia[/name]? [name]Thomas[/name]/[name]Tomas[/name]?
[name]Sara[/name]/[name]Sarah[/name]? [name]Sara[/name] seems incomplete. [name]Sophia[/name]/[name]Sophie[/name]?
[name]Isabella[/name]/[name]Isabelle[/name]/[name]Isabel[/name]/[name]Isobel[/name]? The rest are too frilly or seem misspelled (though it’s not). [name]Lily[/name]/[name]Lilly[/name]?
[name]Sylvie[/name]/[name]Sylvia[/name]/[name]Silvia[/name]? [name]Florence[/name]/[name]Flora[/name]? Seems like more of a name. [name]Don[/name]'t like either though. [name]Eleanor[/name]/[name]Elinor[/name]? I know [name]Elinor[/name] is considered legit but I can’t help but think it’s misspelled. [name]Nora[/name]/[name]Norah[/name]?
[name]Anne[/name]/[name]Ann[/name]/[name]Anna[/name]?
[name]Lindsay[/name]/[name]Lindsey[/name]? Only slightly… I go back and forth on this too. [name]Ada[/name]/[name]Adah[/name]? [name]Adah[/name] seems misspelled.
[name]Lila[/name]/[name]Lilah[/name]? [name]Jonah[/name]/[name]Jonas[/name]?
[name]Nathan[/name]/[name]Nathaniel[/name]?
[name]Zac[/name]/[name]Zach[/name]/[name]Zack[/name]? I do like [name]Zack[/name] too (that’s what my cousin [name]Isaac[/name] goes by).
[name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Oscar[/name]/[name]Oskar[/name] < I like both
Violetta
Caterina
Hannah
Louisa
Carl/Karl < I overthought this one and now they both just look really strange!

[name]Carl[/name]/[name]Karl[/name]? - No preference, really. I guess I naturally lean toward C.
[name]Natalie[/name]/[name]Natalia[/name]? - [name]Natalie[/name], mainly because that’s my name. Although I like the Russian spelling of [name]Natalya[/name].
[name]Katherine[/name]/[name]Catherine[/name]? - Actually, I prefer [name]Kathryn[/name].
[name]Christina[/name]/[name]Kristina[/name]? - [name]Christina[/name]; although I have known one [name]Kristina[/name] before.
[name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name]? - don’t like this one much overall, but I’d go with [name]Juliet[/name]; it’s less frilly.
[name]Elizabeth[/name]/[name]Elisabeth[/name] - [name]Elisabeth[/name]; with a Z looks kind of harsh.
[name]Johnathon[/name]/[name]Jonathon[/name] - Actually, I prefer [name]Jonathan[/name].
[name]Noah[/name]/[name]Noa[/name] - [name]Noah[/name]. Can’t stand when people try to pass it off as a girl’s name by knocking off the H.
[name]Joseph[/name]/[name]Josef[/name] - [name]Joseph[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]/[name]Emilia[/name] - [name]Emilia[/name], though I don’t care for either particularly.
[name]Thomas[/name]/[name]Tomas[/name] - [name]Tomas[/name], otherwise all I can think is “the tank engine.”

[name]Sylvie[/name]/[name]Sylvia[/name]/[name]Silvia[/name] - [name]Sylvia[/name]. [name]Sylvie[/name] just drives me nuts, and [name]Silvia[/name] makes me think of [name]Anderson[/name] [name]Silva[/name] for some reason.
[name]Florence[/name]/[name]Flora[/name] - [name]Flora[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]/[name]Elinor[/name] - I have a soft spot for [name]Elinor[/name] after seeing [name]Ralph[/name] Bakshi’s Wizards.
[name]Nora[/name]/[name]Norah[/name] - [name]Nora[/name]; extraneous H’s and all, you know.
[name]Anne[/name]/[name]Ann[/name]/[name]Anna[/name] - [name]Anna[/name]
[name]Lindsay[/name]/[name]Lindsey[/name] - [name]Lindsey[/name], but only slightly.
[name]Ada[/name]/[name]Adah[/name] - [name]Ada[/name]; it’s those H’s again!
[name]Lila[/name]/[name]Lilah[/name] - [name]Lila[/name] to me is lee-lah, [name]Lilah[/name] to me is lye-lah. So, long story short? [name]Lila[/name].
[name]Jonah[/name]/[name]Jonas[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t care for either one, but I guess I’ll go with [name]Jonah[/name].
[name]Nathan[/name]/[name]Nathaniel[/name] - Actually, I prefer [name]Nathanael[/name].
[name]Zac[/name]/[name]Zach[/name]/[name]Zack[/name] - [name]Zach[/name]
