Sylvia, Lydia, Romilly, and Elodie are my favorites.
Lol, only half of my picks are in the lead. I guess my tastes are different from most. My two favorites are Sylvia and Esme. Neither are in the lead. 🙁
My picks are in the lead for every category! Woot! Err, except, I can’t remember which I picked for Elodie vs Clair, that was the hardest choice for me.
Romilly Vs Lorelei was difficult. Twee surname Vs big rock of boating accidents. Hmmm. And because I rarely see Sylvia get any love IRL (it seems to get the “doddery old blue rinse” comments) I almost voted for it over Isla. In fact, I regret not doing it now.
And tsk tsk. Poor Eithne. I think it’s just fine but it hasn’t got a chance in heck.
Can you do Kyrie as a girls name for a name of the day? Or Avery for a girl? Elias for a boy? The only one of my childrens names you covered is my Audrey!! LOL
Romilly vs Lorelei! That’s torture I love both names so much and equally. Romilly was chosen however as I feel it is slightly less well known.
That was even more fun for me! But tougher, too. Girls are tough for me. I like so many!
