Abigail / Abegail / Abagail

Adriana / Adrianna - I think Adriana looks much softer.

Ainsley / Ainslee / Ainslie / Ainsleigh / Ainsly / Aynslee / Aynsley / Aynslie

Alana / Alanna / Alaina / Alainna - I would pronounce Alanna like al-AH-na. Alaina and Alainna would be al-AY-na, and Alana could go either way.

Alea / Aleah / Alia / Aliah - If you want it pronounced a-LEE-ah, I'd go with Aleah. If you want it pronounce AHL-ya, Alia is good.

Alicia / Alecia / Alisha / Alysha

Alison / Allison / Allyson / Alyson

Alyssa / Alissa / Allissa / Allyssa

Amy / Amie

Anna / Ana

Annabel / Annabelle / Anabel

Ariel / Arielle

Ashley / Ashlee / Ashleigh / Ashli

Audrey / Audri / Audrie

Bailey / Bailee / Baylee / Baylie

Beatrice / Beatrix - These are pronounced differently, but I love both of them. Beatrice is sweet and Beatrix is spunky.

Bethany / Bethani

Bianca / Bionca

Blair / Blaire

Brenna / Brynna - I would pronounce these a tiny bit differently. Brenna would have an E sound, like ten. And Brynna would have an I sound, like win.

Briana / Brianna / Bryana / Bryanna

Caitlin / Caitlyn / Kaitlin / Kaitlyn / Kaitlynn / Katelin / Katelyn / Katelynn / Caitlynn / Caitlynne

Callie / Calleigh

Callista / Calista

Carissa / Carisa / Karissa

Carley / Carlie / Carly / Carli

Caroline / Carolyn / Carolyne / Carolynn / Carolynne - I would pronounce Caroline differently than the rest. Caroline rhymes with pine, the rest with pin.

Cassidy / Cassidi / Cassidie

Claire / Clare

Colleen / Coleen / Colene / Collyn

Daisy / Daisi / Daisie - It seems silly to misspell something that's already a word to make it more "name-ish."

Dana / Dayna / Daina

Daniella / Daniela

Dina / Dinah - I would pronounce Dina DEE-NA, and Dinah DYE-NAH. I picked both because I'm not sure which pronunciation you want, and they're both fine spellings respectively.

Edith / Edyth

Eleanor / Elinor / Ellinor

Elise / Elyse / Elyce

Elizabeth / Elyzabeth

Emily / Emalee / Emilee / Emalie / Emmalee

Emma / Ema

Gabriella / Gabriela

Georgia / Giorgia

Hailey / Hailee / Haleigh / Haley / Haylee / Hayleigh / Hayley / Haylie

Hannah / Hanna - I actually like the spelling Hana, but it would be misspelled constantly.

Harmony / Harmonie

Holly / Hollie

Isabel / Isabelle

Isabella / Isabela

Jamie / Jaime / Jaimie / Jami / Jaimi

Kailey / Kailee / Kaylee / Kayleigh / Kayley / Kaylie / Kaileigh - I have a friend named Kayleigh, so no other spelling looks right to me.

Katherine / Catherine

Kayla / Kaila

Kenzie / Kensi / Kensie - I had a dog named Kenzie when I was little, and also a Barbie doll.

Kimberly / Kimberlie

Kylie / Kylee / Kyleigh - I like Kiley best.

Lainey / Laynie

Leah / Lia

Leann / LeAnn / Leanne / LeAnne / Lianne

Leila / Leilah / Laila - I'm not sure if you're going for LEE-LA or LAY-LA? If it's LEE-LA, I'd pick Leila. Otherwise, Laila, though Layla is my favorite.

Lorraine / Loraine

Mackenzie / Makenzie

Madeleine / Madeline / Madelaine  - I'm not sure what pronunciation you want? MAD-UH-LINE?

Malia / Maleah

Marnie / Marni

Molly / Mollie

Natalie / Natalee 

Nicole / Nichole

Olivia / Olyvia

Rachel / Rachael

Rebecca / Rebekka

Riley / Rylee / Ryleigh / Ryley / Rylie / Reilly

Roxana / Roxanna

Ryann / Ryan / Rhyan

Sabrina / Sabryna

Sarah / Sara

Savannah / Savanna / Savana / Savanah

Shana / Shanna - Is this SHAY-NA or SHAN-AH?

Skye / Sky

Sophia / Sofia

Sydney / Sydnie - I actually like Sidney best. Changing the I to a Y is unnecessary.

Tabitha / Tabetha

Taryn / Taran - If Tarin was an option, I'd pick that.

Teresa / Theresa

Valerie / Valarie / Valorie 

Virginia / Verginia

Wendy / Wendi
