I like Merit best, but also think that [name]Myra[/name], [name]Marigold[/name] and [name]January[/name] (nn [name]Ari[/name]/[name]Ary[/name]/[name]Arie[/name]?) are very nice.

PS. After giving it some thought, [name]Wanda[/name] is pretty cool! I’ve never actually met anyone named [name]Wanda[/name] before…You have a very interesting list!
I really like [name]Alison[/name], and [name]Lana[/name]. [name]January[/name] can be nn [name]Jan[/name], [name]Anny[/name], [name]Ari[/name]/[name]Ary[/name]
[name]Little[/name] tidbit, I have three relatives named [name]Joan[/name] on the same side of my family. 
I love [name]June[/name] & [name]Jeanne[/name]! [name]Jeanne[/name] is tied with [name]Joan[/name] for me, but so many awesome namesakes just made [name]Joan[/name] the winner of that trio!
I like [name]Zinnia[/name] & [name]Flora[/name] from the list as well.
Could [name]Annie[/name] work for [name]January[/name]? I like [name]Annie[/name] & maybe Janny…but Janny sounds like [name]Jenny[/name] with a strange accent!
[name]Fern[/name] - sweet
[name]Myra[/name] - I knew a very funny [name]Myra[/name] so I have positive feelings about the name. A guilty pleasure is the similar [name]Myrna[/name].
[name]Claudette[/name] - Call me crazy but I love -ette names. I love this one as well as [name]Claudine[/name]. The French pronunciation “cloh” takes the “claw” sound out of the name.
Merit - OK
[name]Marigold[/name] ([name]Goldie[/name]) - I love this name but I think I prefer it as a quirky mn choice.
[name]January[/name] (any nickname ideas?) - I like this month name. It sounds so spunky and alive compared to the season itself. [name]Ari[/name] would be a cute nn.
[name]Wanda[/name] - Dated and unattractive
[name]Teal[/name] - Ok for the middle spot
[name]Alison[/name] - Probably the only name ending in “son” I like for a girl.
[name]Joan[/name] - A soft and feminine name.
[name]Lorna[/name] - I read [name]Lorna[/name] [name]Doone[/name] when I was younger. It seemed quite unusual then but strangely enough I prefer the male version [name]Lorne[/name] rather than this female version.
[name]Lana[/name] - It has an old Hollywood glamour image from actress [name]Lana[/name] [name]Turner[/name] but I don’t know if there’s anything else to recommend it.
Ahh…I seriously love your list! I love that you veered from the same-old vintage names that everyone is using (though I like those names too, I just am sick of seeing them and it’s nice to see your style for a change). My comments:
[name]Fern[/name] – This is so soft and pretty, easily recognized but so unique.
[name]Myra[/name] – This one isn’t my style, but I would love to see it on a kid.
[name]Claudette[/name] – Very princessy.
Merit – [name]One[/name] of my favorites on your list. You may also like [name]Barrett[/name] or [name]Berit[/name].
[name]Marigold[/name] ([name]Goldie[/name]) – I love [name]Marigold[/name] for a middle name. Not a fan of [name]Goldie[/name], as it is a common pet name.
[name]January[/name] (any nickname ideas?) – This is the only one on your list that I really don’t care for.
[name]Wanda[/name] – So cool to see this on someone’s list! I think it would be so quaint and quirky…I love the idea of a little [name]Wanda[/name]! You may also like [name]Wilma[/name].
[name]Teal[/name] – Oh my goodness, this is another one that has been a favorite of mine! I like it in the middle spot, just because it seems to lack something…but I still really like the sound of it, the way it looks written out, and the color itself.
[name]Alison[/name] – In light of your other awesome names, I find this one a bit boring.
[name]Joan[/name] – I like [name]Joanie[/name], from the old show [name]Happy[/name] Days. I considered, for a while, naming a daughter [name]Joanie[/name].
[name]Lorna[/name] – So many of your names have been on my mind lately, and I haven’t seen them [name]EVER[/name] mentioned on these boards before. 
I love [name]Lorna[/name]. It reminds me of the cookie (which I’ve never had, but have seen in stores).
[name]Lana[/name] – I have been thinking of [name]Alana[/name] lately, which I prefer to [name]Lana[/name], but both are sweet and different for a change.
I’m glad you like my list! I like vintage but not flowery vintage if that makes sense, stronger rather than lilting & soft…unusual but recognizable & down-to-earth is a must for me…not overly whimsical or spacey. But at the same time [name]January[/name] is whimsical & [name]Marigold[/name] is as flowery as you can get since it is a flower! It’s so hard to describe what I am looking for!
[name]Fern[/name] - this is my favorite from your list. very pretty
Merit - I like this one
[name]Marigold[/name] ([name]Goldie[/name]) - I prefer [name]Magnolia[/name], but this is pretty
[name]January[/name]- what about [name]New[/name]/Nu or Newa/Nua since [name]January[/name] brings in the new year and it contains that sound. Nary?
[name]Teal[/name] - interesting, seems better as a mn or pet name
[name]Lana[/name]- meh
[name]Joan[/name] - meh, not opposed as middle
[name]Lorna[/name] - meh
[name]Alison[/name] - snore
[name]Claudette[/name] - not a fan
[name]Wanda[/name] - not a fan
[name]Myra[/name] - sounds old to me, and not in a good wayOthers you might like:

I like [name]Ione[/name] & not [name]Nita[/name], but [name]Anita[/name] is lovely!
I love [name]Fern[/name], [name]Myra[/name], [name]Lana[/name] and [name]January[/name].
[name]One[/name] of my friends growing up was named [name]January[/name]. She went by her full name, but sometimes [name]Jan[/name]. I don’t know of any other nicknames that come to mind at the moment for the name.
I love [name]January[/name] but I am not a [name]Jan[/name] fan! And [name]Ari[/name] is pretty but if I met one I would assume she was [name]Arianna[/name]. If only there was something distinct but obvious enough!
@ taz - I definitely think that [name]Annie[/name] could work as a nn for [name]January[/name]! I love it!
I do love [name]Annie[/name]!
[name]Claudette[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name]-[name]Jeanne[/name] is a combo I’ve been considering!
My mum’s name is [name]Wanda[/name]! Never saw I’d see it on a list here!! But of course I have very positive associations with the name :). She is [name]Wanda[/name] [name]Louise[/name] and was always nn Weazie or Weaze.
