Here are the 20 I like most :)

Cadence
Victoria
Tiana
Saskia
Maya
Molly
Mia
Mila
Sofia
Lainie
Skylar
Raegan
Amelie
Zoey
Hadleigh
Peyton
Madeleine (nn Madi)
Addie
Eden
Henrietta
Calista

My top five from here are:
Cadence
Victoria
Amelie
Zoey
Madeleine

Hadleigh would be my number one if spelled Hadley, I adore Hadley. Hehe, obvious bias in my username ;) I think my absolute favorite is Madeleine though, so sweet. I love Cadence, it just sounds so lovely <3 Victoria is classic and will always be an amazing name. Amelie is so lovely, it feels soft and so beautiful!! Zoey is spunky and cute. I never meet others who like Saskia, its so sassy and cute and I love it! I basically like all of the ones up there though, mainly. Fairly nice.

Of the ones I eliminated, its not because I particularly disliked them all. But you said you only wanted 20 above ;) Sadie, Louise, Rhiannon, Anastasia, and Alessandra are all classic and lovely, just not my style. Lexi, Danielle, Chelsey, Kellie, Leigha, Stephanie, Daisy, Whitney, Mindy, and Brianna all just feel too dated to me.. like my age or older. Electra is alright, mythical but not my style. Abilene is alright, just again not my style. Adrianna would be nice on someone elses kid I guess, just not my style. And Luna feels like it'd suit better to a fictional character to me.

My five least favorite are:
Demmie
Shayleigh
Suki
Carmel
Freya

Demmie would be a nice nick name for Demetria or something, but I'm really not a fan. Demi Lovato makes it more usable and all, but I still don't love it. Shayleigh feels too trendy for me personally, especially the spelling. Shaylie? I guess. Idk. Suki is japenese? I feel its to foreign personally. I love foreign names and all, but I guess only to an extent. Carmel feels like a food to me :/ And Freya... I'm not sure why, but I just greatly dislike it :( Not sure what about the name is such an unappeal to me.. but I know its within my style so I don't know what it is. One of those odd things ;)


I hope I wasn't too negative here, just trying to be honest :) Hope this helps!!

20 I like, Top five bolded, Bottom five crossed out.

Sadie- I love Sadie.I think its super cute but it will age well.
Cadence
Lexie
Victoria- Personally I like more classic names and this is definitly a more classic name. Not my favorite but makes the top 5 here.
Louise-I love this name. Its on my list.
Danielle- Danielle feels really dated to me.
Molly
Anastasia
Mia
Sofia
Stephanie- Stephanie feels dated to me as well. I really dislike the nickname Stef/Steph which will probably happen.
Amelie
Zoey- I've always though Zoey was adorable.
Peyton- I dont like how overdone it is. Also I just don't think it sounds pretty to say.
Madeleine (nn Madi)-Madeleine is so pretty.
Addie- Feels like a nickname. Maybe try Adelaide or Addison.
Daisy-I cant picture a 40 year old named Daisy.
Eden
Brianna
Henrietta


I think I did this wrong. oops. If the name didn't make the top 20 I really didn't like it I guess.

Chelsey
Kellie
Anastasia
Mia
Leigha
Sofia
Stephanie
Lainie
Skylar
Raegan
Zoey
Hadleigh
Peyton
Madeleine (nn Madi)

Eden- I am beginning to LOVE this name. It's biblical and beautiful :)
Lainie- I love Lane as a middle name for a boy, and Lainie is an adorable version for a girl! it isn't super common, but doesn't sound strange or made-up
Sadie- for me, this is like the girl version of Sawyer. It sounds kind of farm-girly and I love it. it isn't super common, but doesn't sound strange or made-up
Skylar- I don't know why I like Skylar, but I do, haha :)
Cadence- I like Cadence because it isn't overly common, but it holds a lot of class and elegance like Elizabeth and Victoria

Daisy- very hippy and I can't imagine a grown up with this name
Carmel- some food names can be cute, but I'm not keen on this one.
Saskia- Sounds very Asian. or Alaskan.
Shayleigh- really chunky. I'm not a fan of -leigh on the end.
Suki- Again with the Asian thing. It makes me think of Sushi.

Top Twenty (in no particular order):

Victoria
Louise
Tiana
Maya
Chelsea- I like this spelling better
Molly
Anastasia
Mia
Mila
Sofia
Daisy
Lainie
Alessandra
Amelie
Zoey
Madeleine
Eden
Adrianna
Luna
Calista

Top Five:

Mila- I love this name and I think it's really cute. I'd probably use it as a nickname for Amelia, or Amelie, but it's fine on it's own :)
Eden- Sooo pretty and I love the nickname Edie
Amelie- Beautiful alternative to the ridiculously popular Emily
Adrianna- I do prefer Adriana or Adrienne, but this is really pretty too :)
Madeleine- I prefer Madeline to this, but it's still really elegant and beautiful

Bottom 5:

Cadence- I've never liked it. Reminds me of condensed milk :/
Demmie- More of a nickname for me
Suki- My friend's cat's name, I'm afraid
Shayleigh- Not my style, but I like Shay as a nickname
Carmel- This name isn't very feminine in my opinion

5 Favorite:
Louise - it's so pretty and girly and is great as a nickname because it goes with literally everything
Anastasia - so pretty! Really timeless and elegant.
Mia - gorgeous and simple <3
Mila - really pretty! Makes me think of Mila Kunis who is gorgeous and lovely.
Amelie - really pretty. I just love "A" names!
Luna - bonus name! ;) I love Luna. It's so pretty and it's unique, but it's not too weird.

5 Least Favorite:
Carmel - I dislike this a lot. You have so many pretty names on your list that are way better than this. :blush:
Brianna/Adrianna - I just really dislike these names. I've never been a fan. Jut my preference.
Raegan - I have never liked this. It just sounds really harsh? IDK if that's the word for it.
Electra - sounds like a name for a superhero
Abilene - sounds a little dated

And I like the name Hadleigh, but I dislike that spelling. I like Hadley much more. :)

BTW, you have both Anastasia and Louise on your list and Anastasia Louise is one of my favorite girl combos! ;)
