[name_u]Welcome[/name_u]! 
Starting with my most favourite…
[name_f]Sosie[/name_f]! - adorable. I like it as a nn for [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] but I’ve ranked [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] separately where I’d put it without a nickname, if that makes sense
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] - clunky-cool and I love Ness as a nickname
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - classic, can’t go wrong
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] - goddess vibes, classic and elegant
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] - biased towards this one as it’s my middle name! And a [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] name too
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] - see above, haha
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] - due a comeback
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - warm and sunny
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] - classic, love the [name_m]Little[/name_m] Women connection
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] - elegant and timeless
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] - growing on me, I love [name_u]Caro[/name_u]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f] - beautiful meaning
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] - pretty, maybe a bit overused
[name_u]Fern[/name_u] - cute and nature-y
[name_f]Ofelia[/name_f] - would be higher spelled [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f] - zippy and summery
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] - slightly on the too-clunky side for me
[name_f]Ines[/name_f] - not my fave
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] - feels dated
[name_f]Araceli[/name_f] - personally, reminds me of pasta

You have a very elegant style! 
- [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] - princess name vibes in my homeland. I just love this one! Rather rare and special.
- [name_f]Frances[/name_f] - love it. I just love the sound.
- [name_f]Alice[/name_f]- love it. [name_m]Just[/name_m] beautiful vintage vibes.
- [name_f]Diana[/name_f] - love it! I prefer [name_u]Dione[/name_u] or [name_f]Diane[/name_f]. Also Dianthé is cool. But I love it anyway.
- [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] - always liked this one. I like longer names. Girly, but also not girly. Like this one a lot, and would even use it myself.
- [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] - this one has sneaked up to me! I used to dislike it. But now I love it! Not enough to use it, but I get 1800s, corsets, vampires. [name_u]Love[/name_u]! In my language it doesn’t have the same magic though.
- [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] - I like it! I get sweet vintage vibes, wearing a bow in your head etc. Girly.
- [name_f]Esther[/name_f]- dated name that I’m starting to like a lot! [name_f]Kinda[/name_f] sparkly sound!
- [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] - a little bit popular in my life, but overall it’s nice!
- [name_f]Edith[/name_f] - a dated name that is starting to grow on me! Sweet sound.
- [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - Literary vibes, and because of that I love it! But it definitely is a bit basic.
- [name_f]Emma[/name_f]- Sweet sounding literary name. I think of [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u]. However, a bit popular rn, and it just has never wowed me.
- [name_f]Ines[/name_f]- lovely name, just not my style.
- [name_f]Hope[/name_f] - Nice virtue name, very loved. But not my style (I think of bunnies hopping around
[name_f]English[/name_f] is not my first language, forgive me! ). Would make a sweet middle!
- [name_f]Araceli[/name_f] - never heard that one! [name_m]Just[/name_m] not my style rn. Sounds quite exotic actually. How would you pronounce it?
- [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f]- I prefer [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]. One of the names I absolutely adore, but wouldn’t use myself. Can’t get over the thought that -felia/ phelia sounds like -philia.
- [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] - adorable, but it makes me think ‘little sweet unhappy one’
- [name_u]Fern[/name_u] - Absolutely mega adorable!! But I would use it as a nickname. Too cute for me to use it in real life. But yes, I don’t find the sound particularly flowy/ beautiful.
- [name_f]Sosie[/name_f] - Adorable, but I’d prefer it as a nickname
- [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - very loved and classy name, but I just think of the word ‘phobia’ every time

Thank you! Dianthé’s quite cool… After moving to the US I pronounce it ah-rah-SEH-lee, but my aunt [name_f]Araceli[/name_f] pronounces it ah-rah-THEH-lee

Agnes - stern and beautiful - 7/10 (higher with French pronunciation, I prefer it!)
Alice - literary and self-assured but something too self-righteous sounding for me - 6.5/10
Araceli - have not heard of this and not sure I’m getting the emphases right - not sure!
Caroline - smart and sophisticated but somehow doesn’t charm me when on a person - 6/10
Diana - a gorgeous name, I just don’t like Di (die) as a nn. If we can insist on Diana or another nn, it’s a winner 7/10 (bc of “Di”)
Edith - loved this name for years but it was just a tad too fusty for me to use. I love Edie. 7.5/10
Emma - such a popular name on here and generally but it’s always felt empty to me. 3.5/10
Esther - love! It’s like Agnes but closer to beautiful than stern/harsh on the sliding scale. 9/10
Fern - this is such a warm and likeable name! It feels quite American to me as an Aussie (so does Dawn) but it’d be a great name to have - immediate friends! 8/10
Frances - my DD’s middle - I still love it, it’s so tailored and smart; commanding but still vulnerable and sweet. Had it been her first name, she’d have been Franny, Francy or Fancy (before the song!). 9/10
Hope - Another happy-making name, with a lot of energy and sparkle. I don’t adore the way it feels when saying it so it’s only a 6.5/10.
Ines - love this name! Feels very sophisticated and dare I say, a good-looking person’s name - 8.5/10
Jane - I love this name in principle. The three Janes I know don’t wear it well. Not sure why. It’s prettier on paper I think. 7/10
Josephine - one of my all-time fave names, elegant, Frenchy and offers so many good nicknames! 9/10
Katherine - love this (warm, classic, authoritative) name as a middle - I would just call my kid Kate if I wanted Kate. Kitty is sweet though. 7.5/10
Louisa - this gives me prim, bookish vibes - 7.5/10
Ofelia - don’t mind it, it’s definitely pretty but just a little too fussy for me I think - 6.5/10
Phoebe - love! Have fallen for this name again recently - it’s cheerful, nice to say, and well-established. 8.5/10
Sadie - vintage-y and fun, just a little too cute for me. 6/10
Sosie - a sweet, intriguing name, I like it 7/10
