This or that?

My revamped list has a few names that start with the same letter. I thought it’d be interesting to see which names people prefer out of the groups.

[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] or [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] or [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]?
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] or [name_f]Kalliope[/name_f]?
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] or [name_f]Diana[/name_f] or [name_f]Davina[/name_f]?
[name_f]Electra[/name_f] or [name_f]Elektra[/name_f]?
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f] or [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] or [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]?
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] or [name_f]Jemma[/name_f]?
[name_f]Jade[/name_f] or [name_f]Jemma[/name_f]?
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] or [name_f]Merida[/name_f]?
[name_f]Opal[/name_f] or [name_f]Oksana[/name_f]?
[name_u]Piper[/name_u] or [name_f]Petra[/name_f]?
[name_f]Rowena[/name_f] or Runa or [name_f]Regina[/name_f]?
[name_f]Ziva[/name_f] or [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]?

Mine were [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f], [name_f]Calliope[/name_f], [name_f]Davina[/name_f], [name_f]Elektra[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f], [name_f]Merida[/name_f], [name_f]Oksana[/name_f], [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] and [name_f]Ziva[/name_f].

[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] or [name_f]Diana[/name_f] or [name_f]Davina[/name_f]? This is the hardest one for me, I think they’re all gorgeous! [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is probably my fav by a hair.
[name_f]Electra[/name_f]
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Jade[/name_f] (But out of [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] and [name_f]Jade[/name_f] I prefer [name_f]Gemma[/name_f]!)
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u] or [name_f]Petra[/name_f]? I like both. For my own child I’d choose [name_f]Petra[/name_f] because it’s less popular.
[name_f]Rowena[/name_f]
[name_f]Ziva[/name_f]

[name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u]
[name_f]Regina[/name_f]
[name_f]Zelda[/name_f]

Comments:
I like [name_f]Elektra[/name_f] well enough, but I love, love, love the Italian version [name_f]Elettra[/name_f]!

[name_f]Merida[/name_f] is nice. Have you considered [name_u]Meredith[/name_u]? It feels more distinguished.

[name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_f]Petra[/name_f] are such different names despite having a couple technical things in common. I think the same about [name_f]Ziva[/name_f] and [name_f]Zelda[/name_f].

Thank you all for your comments!

I have considered [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], but I have a slight lisp and -dith sounds very awkward when I pronounce it. I also much prefer [name_f]Merida[/name_f].
