[name]Beth[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Amelie[/name], [name]Audra[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Eva[/name], [name]Scarlett[/name], and [name]Madeleine[/name] are my favorites. They are either sweet or beautiful. The others I feel are either a little older or a little on the foreign side. You have a nice list though.
1. [name]Beth[/name]- So sweet! However, it is very nicknamey and I think [name]Elizabeth[/name] itself is better because then the child can select from a wide variety of nicknames when she’s older. 2. [name]Leia[/name]- [name]Star[/name] Wars connection is too strong. [name]Leila[/name] or [name]Leah[/name] are better choices. 3. [name]Maeve[/name]- Cute. Personally, I prefer [name]Mae[/name] but [name]Maeve[/name] is certainly better than [name]Mauve[/name]. 4. [name]Liza[/name]- [name]Lee[/name]-ZUH or LIE-zuh? I prefer the second, otherwise stick to [name]Lisa[/name]. 5. [name]Dorothy[/name]- [name]Wizard[/name] of [name]Oz[/name] connection is strong, but still a lovely name. 6. [name]Hazel[/name]- I like this name! Vintage, but the z gives it spunk! 7. [name]Audrey[/name]- [name]One[/name] of my personal favorites! 8. [name]Amabel[/name]- Prefer [name]Annabelle[/name]. 9. [name]Aislinn[/name]- Pretty! Not as trendy as [name]Ashley[/name], because of the Irish spelling [name]IMO[/name]. 10. [name]Maeva[/name]- Stick with [name]Maeve[/name], I think. 11. [name]Amelie[/name]- [name]Love[/name]! 12. [name]Cailin[/name]- No… 13. [name]Audra[/name]- If you want to switch up [name]Audrey[/name], I say go for [name]Audriana[/name]. [name]Audra[/name] sounds… blunt. 14. [name]Violet[/name]- Has become a bit of a classic these days. And with the similarity to the word violent, I say [name]Viola[/name]. 15. [name]Eva[/name]- Okay. I think [name]Evangeline[/name] nn [name]Eva[/name] is better. 16. [name]Eliza[/name]- [name]Elizabeth[/name] is much, much better [name]IMO[/name]. 17. [name]Louisa[/name]- Cute! With nns [name]LuLu[/name], [name]Lula[/name] and possibly [name]Izzy[/name] as well as literary ties, you can’t go wrong with this. 18. [name]Scarlett[/name]- Very pretty. I’ve always liked it with nn [name]Carly[/name]. 19. [name]Madeleine[/name]- Sweet, but may be too trendy very soon. 20. [name]Shea[/name]- [name]Love[/name] [name]Shea[/name]! Strong, cute and simple.
[name]Beth[/name] - Prefer as a nn for [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Leia[/name] - Like [name]Princess[/name]? I do like it, however I am wary of any girls name with [name]Lay[/name] in it.
[name]Maeve[/name] - Meh, not a pretty name imho! [name]Don[/name]'t see the appeal
[name]Liza[/name] - Not my style
[name]Dorothy[/name] - I want to like it, but it’s still so very “There’s no place like home”
[name]Hazel[/name] - I have been warming up to [name]Hazel[/name] lately
[name]Audrey[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Audrey[/name], can’t go wrong here
[name]Amabel[/name] - I love [name]Amabel[/name], but it is too easily confused with [name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Aislinn[/name] - Meh, not a big fan
[name]Maeva[/name] - Meh, don’t see the appeal with an A on the end either
[name]Amelie[/name] - This is lovely
[name]Cailin[/name] - Is this like [name]Kay[/name]-lynn or a mistake and supposed to be [name]Caitlin[/name]? [name]Caitlin[/name] good, [name]Cailin[/name] bad.
[name]Audra[/name] - This is just okay, nothing against it.
[name]Violet[/name] - Wayyyyy too popular for my liking
[name]Beth[/name] - seems kind of plain and boring, prefer it as a nickname for [name]Elizabeth[/name] or a middle name (my sister’s middle name is beth)
[name]Leia[/name] - [name]Star[/name] Wars connection waaaaaaaaay too strong, plus I can just say guys saying “Can I [name]Lay[/name] ya”
[name]Maeve[/name] - nms
[name]Liza[/name] - I prefer [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Liza[/name] sounds like a nn
[name]Dorothy[/name] - reminds me of the [name]Wizard[/name] of [name]Oz[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name] - cute, but kind of trendy
[name]Audrey[/name] - nms
[name]Amabel[/name] - I prefer [name]Anabel[/name]
[name]Aislinn[/name] - Isn’t this a boy’s name? I thought of [name]Narnia[/name] automatically and the lion was a boy…
[name]Maeva[/name] - nms
[name]Amelie[/name] - like
[name]Cailin[/name] - [name]Caitlin[/name] would be better
[name]Audra[/name] - sounds like a nickname for [name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] - like
[name]Eva[/name] - nms
[name]Eliza[/name] - like
[name]Louisa[/name] - like
[name]Scarlett[/name] - nms, reminds me of the [name]Scarlet[/name] Letter
[name]Madeleine[/name] - [name]Love[/name], but prefer the spelling [name]Madeline[/name]
[name]Shea[/name] - don’t like, reminds me of [name]Shea[/name] Butter
My favorite two out of your list are [name]Eliza[/name] and [name]Amelie[/name]…[name]Eliza[/name] is my top girl name and [name]Amelie[/name] is in my top five : ) I love both because they are feminine, classy names that are recognizable without being way too popular. Others that I like from your list are [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Eva[/name], and [name]Louisa[/name]. They are similar in style as [name]Eliza[/name] and [name]Amelie[/name] so that’s probably why they appeal to me.
Like: (these names have substance, character or just sound pretty)
[name]Beth[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Amelie[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Madeleine[/name]
Dislike: ( these names sound either ugly, cruel or foreign to me, sorry)
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Shea[/name]
[name]Cailin[/name]
[name]Audra[/name]
[name]Amabel[/name]
[name]Aislinn[/name]
[name]Leia[/name]
[name]Liza[/name]
[name]Beth[/name] - I love the fuller, classic [name]Elizabeth[/name]/[name]Elisabeth[/name], but [name]Beth[/name] seems too nicknamey and a bit dated for me. It’s sweet, but I just like [name]Elizabeth[/name] more.
[name]Leia[/name] - I like the sound, but the spelling reminds me too much of [name]Princess[/name] [name]Leia[/name]. I like the Léa spelling more, and from what I understand, it still gets the same pronunciation.
[name]Maeve[/name] - I’ve always tried to get behind this, since the homey [name]Mae[/name] (which honors my grandmother) seemed a bit too filler for me, but I just can’t see the appeal of [name]Maeve[/name]. It sounds intriguing, it looks intriguing… it’s just not for me.
[name]Liza[/name] - I like it a lot, although I prefer [name]Eliza[/name] more, personally.
[name]Dorothy[/name] - I love, love, love, love, love the nn [name]Dot[/name], but [name]Dorothy[/name] is still too dated for me.
[name]Hazel[/name] - love! [name]Adore[/name], actually. It would probably be on my list if I could find the right combo for it.
[name]Audrey[/name] - love, love, love. I met a rather stunning [name]Audrey[/name] several summers ago, and I still love it. [name]Claire[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] was an old combo on my list.
[name]Amabel[/name] - I liked it until I discovered this is where [name]Mabel[/name] comes from, and I absolutely can’t stand [name]Mabel[/name], so that turned me off of [name]Amabel[/name]. It’s rather illogical, haha, but I just dislike [name]Mabel[/name] that much. I like [name]Annabel[/name]/[name]Annabelle[/name] a lot more, personally, anyway.
[name]Aislinn[/name] - love! I considered changing my name from [name]Ashley[/name] to [name]Aislinn[/name] a while ago because I love it so much. I absolutely adore the meaning of “dream”, and it’s just so striking.
[name]Maeva[/name] - I understand this is relatively popular in [name]France[/name]. I want to like it, but I like it even less than [name]Maeve[/name], unfortunately.
[name]Amelie[/name] - I’m rather torn here, I’m afraid. I’ve never been a huge fan of [name]Amelie[/name] (maybe because I don’t really care for [name]Amelia[/name], either), but my best friend was [name]Amelie[/name], nn [name]Millie[/name] (she passed away last [name]December[/name]). She was undeniably the best person I have ever met in the whole world–she just overflowed with goodness and kindness and selflessness, and so of course when I see [name]Amelie[/name] on here, it both makes me want to cry and laugh, she was just such a good soul and if any little girl that’s blessed with the name is half as good as she is, I would love to meet her, too. I love it’s very French vibe and its plethora of nicknames ([name]Millie[/name]'s my favorite, but [name]Mae[/name], [name]Amie[/name], [name]Lily[/name], etc., are sweet, too).
[name]Cailin[/name] - I like [name]Caitlin[/name] more, honestly.
[name]Audra[/name] - I like [name]Audrey[/name] more, but [name]Audra[/name] has a nouveau/chic sort of feel to it I really like. I would probably do [name]Audrey[/name] nn [name]Audra[/name], personally.
[name]Violet[/name] - Absolutely adore. Definitely my favorite on your list–it’s on my own top 5!
[name]Eva[/name] - I like it quite a bit, but I always prefer [name]Eve[/name].
[name]Eliza[/name] - here she is! I absolutely love [name]Eliza[/name], too. It’s been a favorite of mine for at least a decade, but now the popularity is concerning me. Not that it’s really that popular at all, but I loved it when I thought it was largely obscure, and now it’s on everyone’s list. It just doesn’t seem as special anymore. I still would love to see anyone use it, though!
[name]Louisa[/name] - like quite a bit, but I like [name]Eloise[/name] and [name]Louis[/name] more, these days.
[name]Scarlett[/name] - it’s nice, but I’ve never really LOVED it. I like [name]Violet[/name] more.
[name]Madeleine[/name] - love. It’s one of those names that I always want to fit on my list, but it never quite makes it. I don’t know what holds me back, because I really adore it and it’s such a stunning name. I love so many of its nicknames, too.
[name]Shea[/name] - I agree with @dillonsfan01–it’s all boy to me! I love the idea of [name]Seamus[/name] nn [name]Shea[/name], so I can’t really imagine [name]Shea[/name] on a girl, especially with this spelling. I read a wonderful story with a girl named [name]Shay[/name], once, though, so I still really like the [name]Shay[/name] spelling on a girl.
[name]Violet[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Madeleine[/name], and [name]Aislinn[/name] are my favorites!
[name]Beth[/name] - sweet and simple ala [name]Little[/name] Women. I love it on its own, but I think it’s even sweeter as a shortform for something longer.
[name]Leia[/name] - lay-uh? lee-uh? I’m not sure.
[name]Maeve[/name] - has a very soft and gentle image for me
[name]Liza[/name] - I don’t like this. I can see you’re into [name]Elizabeth[/name] shorts…this one is my least favourite…sorry! I think it sounds middle-aged.
[name]Dorothy[/name] - this is sounding fresh again! I’d love to meet a little [name]Dorothy[/name]!
[name]Hazel[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] this! Super cute, with a little sass.
[name]Audrey[/name] - I think this one will get popular. I like it, though I can’t help but hearing “odd-rey”.
[name]Amabel[/name] - a lot of people will glance and think “[name]Annabel[/name]”. But I like [name]Amabel[/name] better. It’s one of the few “abel” names that isn’t over-done.
[name]Aislinn[/name] - it’s okay…
[name]Maeva[/name] - prefer [name]Maeve[/name].
[name]Amelie[/name] - pretty…I think a lot of people will start using this because [name]Amelia[/name] is getting so popular.
[name]Cailin[/name] - it’s alright, but I prefer [name]Caitlin[/name].
[name]Audra[/name] - very nice. Obviously very similar to [name]Audrey[/name], but this one has its own distinct fee;.
[name]Violet[/name] - getting a little tired of this one, seems to be popping up everywhere. It IS nice though.
[name]Eva[/name] - I like [name]Evelyn[/name] better.
[name]Eliza[/name] - another [name]Elizabeth[/name] nn! But this one totally stands alone. Very spunky. [name]Will[/name] age well.
[name]Louisa[/name] - really starting to grow on me. I love [name]Louisa[/name].
[name]Scarlett[/name] - I don’t get the appeal. Who wants a “Scar” in their daughter’s name?
[name]Madeleine[/name] - I’ve always loved this one, especially with this spelling.
[name]Shea[/name] - very soft, with a natural, summery image to me.
My top 3 from your list: [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Louisa[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name], with honourable mentions to [name]Beth[/name] and [name]Audra[/name].
