Long Girl's Names: This or That?

I adore almost all of these names, choosing between them (and narrowing down favorites) is going to be so difficult.

Belinda

Cecelia (I absolutely adore both of these though)

Dorothy

Eleanora

Francesca

Gwendolyn

Hermione

Isabella

Josephine

Kerensa

Lenora

Melinda

Natalia

Ophelia

Persephone

Rebecca

Susannah

Theresa (I also like Therese)

Vivienne

Winifred

Xiomara

Wasmine

Zephyra

I'm so unbelievably torn for favorites....okay...

Kerensa: 10/10 This is my absolute favorite name, I have it on my list for girls. Its very vintage and romantic to me personally, without being over the top. Its one of those love-hate names, in my opinion, people will either think its awful, or they'll adore it, but its definitely my style. I just love that its representative of all of the things an old-fashioned girl's name *can* be. There's so much potential in a name you can really dress up or dress down depending on your middle name(s) choice. While I adore the classic simplicity of Caroline, Mia, and Rose, more daring old-fashioned choices really excite me :)))

Susannah: 10/10 This name is also on my list, although without the 'h' on the end. I think this name is such a classy alternative to the other "Anna" names that all just feel so overused. Its very feminine without being frilly, and I like that it can be shortened in a variety of ways (just because I know its bound to happen sooner or later, and its nice to know she won't have to be an 'Annie' if that doesn't suit her)

Cecelia: 10/10 I adore this name, especially spelled this way, I feel like its just so under stated because of its more commonly known meaning (blind) but growing up I had a name book my mom had bought to help her name my brother, and it had always said the name meant "patron of music" so, sticking to that added a lot of appeal for me. It just made the name so much more poetic. I have Celia on my own favorites list for girls.

Once again, you did an amazing job of making an interesting (and balanced) list. There were some mainstream names that were appealing, some vintage names that I especially liked, and some modern names that I thought were pretty cool too!! (The one that sticks out is Xiomara)
