[name_f]Liliana[/name_f] --such a pretty variation on the lovely [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] --gorgeous and cosmopolitan
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] --classic, spunky, literary
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] --a universally appealing but underused virtue name
[name_f]Lola[/name_f] --feminine and spunky
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] --one of my favorite unisex names
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f] --simple, versatile, elegant
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] – vintage, spunky, botanical, could be nicknamed [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] or [name_f]Zelie[/name_f] or even [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]

So many lovely names! 64 actually… the same number that starts a [name_u]March[/name_u] Madness bracket. So it got me thinking, since you have such a wide variety of styles, wouldn’t it be so fun to pit names of similar styles against each other to help you narrow it down? You could do it in a poll style where people could vote for multiple names at a time, but only one between each match-up. I’d totally be willing to help or make a poll if this is something you’d be interested in!

Anyway my personal Top 25 (I tried for a Top 10… wasn’t happening) from your list, in no particular order:

  1. [name_f]Fern[/name_f]
  2. [name_f]Liliana[/name_f]
  3. [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
  4. [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
  5. [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
  6. [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
  7. [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
  8. [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
  9. [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
  10. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
  11. [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
  12. [name_u]Harper[/name_u]
  13. [name_f]Stella[/name_f]
  14. [name_f]Paige[/name_f]
  15. [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
  16. [name_f]Brynn[/name_f]

  23. [name_u]Blaire[/name_u]
