[name]Carolyn[/name] or [name]Kathryn[/name] - [name]Carolyn[/name], one of my best friends names is [name]Carolyn[/name]. My cousin’s name is [name]Katherine[/name], so I prefer it spelled that way.
[name]Tana[/name] or [name]Mara[/name] - [name]Mara[/name] - I knew a dog named [name]Tana[/name].
[name]Paula[/name] or [name]Miriam[/name] - [name]Paula[/name] - I don’t know, I don’t love either, I just slightly prefer this one.
[name]Sue[/name] or [name]Kay[/name] - [name]Kay[/name] - had a counsellor at camp named [name]Kay[/name] and she was so cool! [name]Sue[/name] sounds like an old lady name too, while [name]Kay[/name] is fun!
[name]Wendy[/name] or [name]Linda[/name] - [name]Linda[/name] - tough, but [name]Wendy[/name] sounds like [name]Windy[/name]
[name]Zo[/name]ë or [name]Nina[/name] - [name]Zoe[/name] - for some reason always hated the name [name]Nina[/name], not sure why.
[name]Jeannie[/name] or [name]Valerie[/name] - [name]Valerie[/name] - it’s so pretty and elegant, while [name]Jeannie[/name] sounds like a pair of pants (jeans). I prefer [name]Janie[/name] as a nn for [name]Jane[/name] over [name]Jeannie[/name].
[name]Francesca[/name] or [name]Georgina[/name] - [name]Georgina[/name] - don’t love either, but I prefer [name]Georgina[/name].
[name]Dawn[/name] or [name]Willa[/name] - [name]Willa[/name] - love both! But I prefer [name]Dawn[/name] as a middle name, not a first.
[name]Melanie[/name] or [name]Miranda[/name] - [name]Melanie[/name] - feels older than [name]Miranda[/name] and more tired, but I love how it’s like [name]Melody[/name] and sounds so musical to me!
[name]Rachel[/name] or [name]Alison[/name] - [name]Alison[/name] - other best friend is [name]Rachel[/name], but I really like [name]Allison[/name], nn [name]Allie[/name].
[name]Angel[/name] or [name]Bliss[/name] - neither. Too perfect. As if you’re trying to tell the world how perfect your little baby is. Eugh. Neither.
[name]Emma[/name] or [name]Alix[/name] - [name]Emma[/name] - [name]Alix[/name] is spelled wrong. It does look cool though. But I like the nn [name]Em[/name].
[name]Prue[/name] or [name]Helen[/name] - [name]Helen[/name] - prue reminds me of prune.
[name]Raphaela[/name] or [name]Pauline[/name] - [name]Pauline[/name] - [name]Raphaela[/name] too weird,
[name]Sharon[/name] or [name]Sally[/name] - hm… [name]Sally[/name] - I just don’t like [name]Sharon[/name]. But I woud never use [name]Sally[/name], too old and ditzy.
Overall, my faves are [name]Carolyn[/name], [name]Valerie[/name], [name]Dawn[/name], [name]Willa[/name], [name]Rachel[/name], and [name]Allison[/name] (spelled this way). [name]Melanie[/name]/[name]Miranda[/name] is ok too.

[name]Carolyn[/name] or [name]KATHRYN[/name] (It’s the name of my favorite book character, so it’d be a nice connection.)
[name]Tana[/name] or [name]MARA[/name] (I love this name. M names always get me.)

[name]Sue[/name] or [name]KAY[/name] (Less plain.)
[name]WENDY[/name] or [name]Linda[/name] ([name]Linda[/name] is kind of boring to me.)
[name]Zoe[/name] or [name]NINA[/name] (It’s cute. I don’t like accents.)
[name]Jeannie[/name] or [name]VALERIE[/name] ([name]Both[/name] are nice, but [name]Valerie[/name] is a little more spunky to me.)
[name]Francesca[/name] or [name]Georgina[/name] ([name]Francesca[/name] is just kind of ick to me.)
[name]DAWN[/name] or [name]Willa[/name] (I think [name]Dawn[/name]'s adorable.)
[name]MELANIE[/name] or [name]Miranda[/name] (My name’s [name]Amanda[/name], so I wouldn’t want to have a daughter too close to my name.)
[name]Rachel[/name] or [name]ALISON[/name] (I like the nickname [name]Ali[/name].)
[name]Angel[/name] or [name]BLISS[/name] (Less common. [name]Angel[/name] is kind of tacky.)

7

[name]Kathryn[/name]-It’s a sweet, classic name that has a modern edge over [name]Carolyn[/name]'s old, solemn image
[name]Mara[/name]-It’s a classic name that we don’t hear too often, giving it a positive allure. [name]Tana[/name], however, sounds almost made up and kurt
[name]Miriam[/name]-It’s a classic name with religious undertones but it doesn’t sound hyper-religious or old, it’s a perfect name for a modern baby girl
[name]Kay[/name]-It’s a cute, Southern name that has a bit of spunk without being overly modern
[name]Linda[/name]-A beautiful Italian name with a wonderful meaning and a feminine flow; definitely better than the clunky “[name]Wendy[/name].”
[name]Zo[/name]ë-Modern, spunky, sassy, and most importantly, feminine. It’s a great, modern pick
[name]Jeannie[/name]-It’s a classic name that never loses its adorable vibe
[name]Francesca[/name]-A beautiful name that sounds elegant and young at the same time
[name]Willa[/name]-An adorable, feminine name that packs a lot of punch in only 5 letters
[name]Miranda[/name]-A strong, modern name that also has a feminine touch
[name]Rachel[/name]-A strong name that has a lot of feminine qualities, as well
[name]Angel[/name]-Sweet and short, it’s a beautiful name with a lot of meaning
[name]Emma[/name]-A beautiful, sweet little name that mixes classic and modern
[name]Prue[/name]-A very modern name that can certainly catch anyone’s attention
[name]Raphaela[/name]-Very elegant and feminine, a beautiful name that has both classic and modern qualities
[name]Sharon[/name]-A name with a long line of history, and certainly more fresh than “[name]Sally[/name].”

[name_f]Carolyn[/name_f] - more feminine
[name_f]Mara[/name_f] - the other opinion sounded dumb
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] - [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], more sofisticated
[name_u]Kay[/name_u] - more sporty
[name_f]Linda[/name_f] - [name_f]Linda[/name_f], can be shortened to [name_f]Lin[/name_f]
[name_m]Zo[/name_m]ë - cuter
[name_f]Valerie[/name_f] - I hate the other name
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] - better
[name_f]Dawn[/name_f] - feminine
[name_f]Miranda[/name_f] - like the county singer
[name_f]Alison[/name_f] - cuter
[name_u]Angel[/name_u] or [name_u]Bliss[/name_u] - hate both
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] - feminine
[name_f]Helen[/name_f] - better than [name_f]Prue[/name_f]
[name_f]Pauline[/name_f] - better than the other option
[name_f]Sally[/name_f] - [name_f]Sharon[/name_f] sounds like a drag queen name

[name_f]Carolyn[/name_f]- because it has an old sound to it. The nickname could be [name_f]Carrie[/name_f]. With [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] the nickname would be [name_f]Kathy[/name_f], I don’t like that. It’s too common.

[name_f]Mara[/name_f]- it has a pretty ring to it.

[name_f]Miriam[/name_f]- I dislike [name_f]Paula[/name_f]. Makes me think of [name_f]Paula[/name_f] [name_m]Abdul[/name_m]. [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is one of my guilty pleasure names.

[name_u]Kay[/name_u]- [name_f]Sue[/name_f] is too clunky.

[name_f]Linda[/name_f]- it’s prettier, but I don’t really like either.

[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]- I’d spell it different. But I don’t like [name_f]Nina[/name_f].

[name_f]Jeannie[/name_f]- I don’t like [name_f]Valerie[/name_f]. Well, I don’t really like [name_f]Jeannie[/name_f] either but, it’s better.

[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]- it’s pretty. I love it. Nickname could be [name_u]Fran[/name_u] or cessie. I don’t like [name_f]Georgina[/name_f]. Too clunky.

[name_f]Willa[/name_f]- it’s beautiful. I’ve never liked [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], I had a friend with that middle name. Didn’t like it.

[name_f]Miranda[/name_f]- [name_f]Melanie[/name_f] is too blah. [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] is pretty.

[name_f]Alison[/name_f]- nickname [name_u]Ali[/name_u]. [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] is not a good name. Nickname Rach. Gross.

[name_u]Angel[/name_u]- but I really don’t like either much. [name_u]Angel[/name_u] is okay though.

[name_u]Alix[/name_u]- it’s femenine yet not at the same time. I love it. [name_f]Emma[/name_f] is too common.

[name_f]Helen[/name_f]- it’s my grandmothers name. [name_f]Prue[/name_f] is pretty, makes me think of Charmed, but it’s spelling is unfortunate.

Neither [name_f]Raphaela[/name_f] or [name_f]Pauline[/name_f]. [name_m]Both[/name_m] are too old and mannish.

[name_f]Sharon[/name_f]- [name_f]Sally[/name_f] is old.

10

[name]Carolyn[/name] or [name]Kathryn[/name]: [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f], because I love the nickname [name_f]Katie[/name_f] more than [name_f]Carol[/name_f].
[name]Tana[/name] or [name]Mara[/name]: [name_f]Mara[/name_f], [name_f]Tana[/name_f] doesn’t sound like a name.
[name]Paula[/name] or [name]Miriam[/name]: [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], [name_f]Paula[/name_f] sounds too old.
[name]Sue[/name] or [name]Kay[/name]: [name_u]Kay[/name_u], again, [name_f]Sue[/name_f] sounds too old.
[name]Wendy[/name] or [name]Linda[/name]: [name_f]Wendy[/name_f], because I love [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Pan[/name_m]!
[name]Zo[/name]ë or [name]Nina[/name]: [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], it’s cool to have a unique first letter.
[name]Jeannie[/name] or [name]Valerie[/name]: [name_f]Valerie[/name_f], it sounds younger.
[name]Francesca[/name] or [name]Georgina[/name]: [name_f]Francesca[/name_f], [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] sounds too masculine.
[name]Dawn[/name] or [name]Willa[/name]: [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], because who doesn’t love a sunrise?
[name]Melanie[/name] or [name]Miranda[/name]: [name_f]Melanie[/name_f], [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] sounds harsh.
[name]Rachel[/name] or [name]Alison[/name]: [name_f]Rachel[/name_f], I just haven’t met anyone nice with the name [name_f]Alison[/name_f] (or any spelling).
[name]Angel[/name] or [name]Bliss[/name]: [name_u]Angel[/name_u], [name_u]Bliss[/name_u] reminds me of ice cream.
[name]Emma[/name] or [name]Alix[/name]: [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_u]Alix[/name_u] sounds boyish.
[name]Prue[/name] or [name]Helen[/name]: [name_f]Helen[/name_f], because [name_f]Prue[/name_f]? Really?
[name]Raphaela[/name] or [name]Pauline[/name]: [name_f]Raphaela[/name_f], because it’s more angelic.
[name]Sharon[/name] or [name]Sally[/name]: [name_f]Sharon[/name_f], [name_f]Sally[/name_f]'s gross.

[name_m]Zo[/name_m]ë or [name_f]Nina[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Nina[/name_f]. It’s a very pretty name. [name_m]Zo[/name_m]ë is quite boring.
[name_f]Jeannie[/name_f] or [name_f]Valerie[/name_f] - Good name.
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] or [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] - Both names are nice but [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] appeals to me more.
