What do you think?

    Jane is cute but kind of plain.

    Mary is not my kind of name.

    Anne is pretty. I like Anna better.

    Eleanor is pretty as well as Eleanora.

    Marie is cute as a middle name and Maria is cute.

    Josephine I like.

    Alice is nice.

    Rose is my favorite. Can't go wrong with it.

    Lucille sounds country.

    June is pretty.

    Overall good list.

    Mary is okay.... but I dont really like it

    Anne is okay but plain and simple

    Eleanor sounds way to old and snobby

    I like june, josephine and rose, the first few are old fashioned but you did mention that. I don't think it will fit in amazingly with modern society, but thats up to you.
