Can’t sort them.
[name]Roxanne[/name] - Never a “bad girl” name to me, but impossibly beautiful. The first time I ever tried to rank names I liked, this was #1. Still is.
Since I also love
[name]Leila[/name]
[name]Jasmine[/name]
[name]Esme[/name]
I guess I like Persian names more than anything.
French:
[name]Juliet[/name] (in this case, prefer English version)
[name]Camille[/name]
Miette
[name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Odette[/name]
[name]Amandine[/name]
[name]Mariette[/name]
[name]Corinne[/name]
[name]Yvonne[/name]
[name]Yvette[/name]
Ysanne
Hate [name]Charlotte[/name], which seems to be so popular on here.
Russian:
[name]Anastasia[/name]
[name]Tatiana[/name]
[name]Yulia[/name]
[name]Yuliana[/name]
[name]Annika[/name]
[name]Nikita[/name]
[name]Valentina[/name]
[name]Odessa[/name]
[name]Oksana[/name] - Not as beautiful as the Persian original, but almost. Almost.
Greek:
[name]Aurora[/name]
[name]Athena[/name]
[name]Deanna[/name] (in this case, prefer this variant to the actual Greek form)
particularly E-ending:
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Zoe[/name]
The flowers - unfortunately, the same ones everyone likes:
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Lily[/name] (and not [name]Lilian[/name])
[name]Rose[/name]
Guilty pleasures (you could guess):
[name]Destiny[/name]
[name]Tiffany[/name]
[name]Liberty[/name]
[name]Brandy[/name]
No, I don’t like any of these names because of the stars with them. Why does the current generation have to have so much cooler names than any previous one?
[name]Angelina[/name] (though prefer [name]Angelica[/name])
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Sienna[/name]
[name]Piper[/name]
[name]Reese[/name]

Last names as first names:

[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Rosemary[/name]
[name]Rosalind[/name]
[name]Pamela[/name]
[name]Atlanta[/name]
[name]Lois[/name] - Maybe surprising, as I don’t like anything else I associate with it. Actually, that’s part of why I like it: I don’t associate any other name with it.
[name]Paloma[/name]

The 80s bunch, which I don’t consider dated, not my top names but likable:
[name]Amy[/name]
[name]Amanda[/name]
[name]Jennifer[/name]
[name]Jessica[/name]
Unusual names encountered recently. Because I now value odd for its own sake, I can’t be sure if I actually like these enough to warrant places:
[name]Tamsin[/name]
Coventry (only heard of for male, but you know this would be a girl’s name now)
[name]Campbell[/name]
[name]Sailor[/name]
Ayliffe - Is it wrong to like a name I only saw once in a birth announcement?
Blakesley - Or a starbaby name? I’ve heard [name]Blakeley[/name] more than once, but don’t like it as much.
Old favorites I don’t like as much anymore, but retain some appeal:
[name]Celia[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Valerie[/name]
[name]Vanessa[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Dawn[/name]
[name]Anita[/name]

[name]Don[/name]'t know why I ever liked - but don’t hate, unlike so many:
[name]Amber[/name]
