Create a Top 10 list ♀?

My girls list is rather long, so I'm looking for new points of view! Could you make a Top 10 from my favourite girls names :)

i.e. list 10 in order of your liking, and take away the remaining names.

The names that are starred are currently in my state's Top 100 names. I'm in Australia, where are popularity lists are essentially a mash up of the British and US lists, I find, and some names are perceived differently [no syrup association for Jemima, for example!]. Any comments would be greatly appreciated! Also, just a note: I'm in Australia, if that makes any difference.

-----------------

Alice*

Anaïs [a-nah-EES]

Araminta

Beatrix

Briony

Clementine

Clio

Cora

Edith

Eloise*

Emilia

Eulalie [yoo-LAY-lee]

Eve*

Florence

Freya [FRAY-uh]

Hazel

Imogen*

Iris

Jemima

Juno

Lucy*

Margot

Maude

Ophelia [4 syllables; o-FEE-li-uh]

Penelope

Pomeline [pom-eh-LEEN]

Poppy*

Ramona

Theodora

Viola / Violet* [...only one!]

► BQ1: What are your least favourites from the list?

► BQ2: If you could save one to three of the following names [on the fringes of my list], which would they be: Acacia, Adele, Anouk, Charlotte*, Dahlia, Elinor, Helena, Matilda*, Ottilie, Pandora, Primrose, Romilly, Thisbe.

Thanks a bunch, hope you had fun! ♥

    Top 10, not in order:

    Emilia

    Alice

    Lucy

    Jemima

    Freya

    Imogen

    Violet

    Eloise

    Poppy

    Clio - only I like it spelt Cleo.

    BQ1: My 5 least favourites are:

    Anais - I would've never guessed how it's pronounced.

    Beatrix - don't like it at all. reminds me of beetroot.

    Margot - I don't know, not bad, but kind of reminds me of maggot.

    Juno - reminds me of the movie. I don't really like it.

    Theodora - I don't like any of the names such as Frederica, Julianna, Henrietta, etc. sorry, It just seems like a variation of a boy name ( Theodore - which I think is really cute!)

    Please don't take offence to my comments about these names. Oh, and I agree with you on Jemima! I think it's cute and since I am from Australia too, I don't have that association with syrup.

    BQ2: ok, i'll do 3:

    Charlotte, Matilda and Dahlia. Beautiful names!!!

    good luck!!
