Honestly, I’d bump [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] to first spot. It’s an amazingly strong, feminine and beautiful name.
@steampunkleo [name_f]My[/name_f] opinions are the exact same as yours! I am in [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] with [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f]! The song, the name - everything!

This is FASCINATING! Thank you all.
So far, Everyone loves or likes [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] (it’s my favorite name, yay!).
Most everyone loves or likes [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f].
No surprise to me so far…but…
But people have a love or hate relationship with:
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] - really???
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f]
Anyone else want to weigh in? Please do! Please suggest names you think fit my style. Thankseversomuch xoxoxox
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] - really like this. It feels delicate yet strong.
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] - one of the few unisex names I like for a girl.
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f] - to me this doesn’t fit with the rest of your list - I’ve always found it kind of fluffy as a name. I’m generally not a fan of food names, though ([name_f]Plum[/name_f] comes to mind too)
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] - pretty and historical
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] - love. An underused classic.
[name_f]Grace[/name_f], mn only - I like it as a middle name. I know it gets used a lot there, but I think for good reason.
[name_f]Ava[/name_f], mn only - love, despite its popularity. So smooth yet lively.
[name_f]Esme[/name_f], mn only - can’t get on board with [name_f]Esme[/name_f]. “[name_f]My[/name_f] Girl 2” ruined it for me - someone said about it that “it sounds like a sneeze” and it’s sounded like that to me ever since.
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f], mn only - to the [name_m]French[/name_m]-speaking part of my brain, this doesn’t compute. “[name_m]Beau[/name_m]” is so decidedly masculine to me that I can’t conceive of using it for a girl’s name.
[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f], mn only - not my favourite, but for no good reason. It’s a perfectly fine name; it would have a cool kind of alliteration with [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f]?
[name_f]My[/name_f] order:
You guys, this has been so so helpful. Thank you so much. Based on feedback I’m crossing off [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f], [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f] (someone suggested it sounds like a sneeze, lol). I’m keeping [name_f]Grace[/name_f] on the mn list, even though a lot of people like it as a fn - it’s an honor name, and the popularity issue makes me squeamish. [name_f]Ava[/name_f] stays a mn, too.
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] are still on my fn list. Now I get to look for maybe a couple more fn possibilities…
Thanks so everyone!!!

[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Ava[/name_f]
[name_f]Alana[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f]
