    Not reasons, but I'd like to rate them 1-10. (I would actually use names rated above a 4.)

    Agnes ............ 9

    Astrid ............. 4

    Beatrice ......... 9

    Deirdre ........... 7

    Frances .......... 6

    Regina ............ 3

    Henrietta ......... 9

    Jane ................ 5

    Millicent ........... 5

    Prudence.......... 5

    Winifred ........... 3

    Agnes Charlotte ......... 10 - Charlotte modernizes Agnes; Agnes emphasizes the old-fashion in Charlotte; I love this balance, the flow, the sound combination, and both names.

    Catherine Millicent ...... 6 - Millicent feels too heavy with Catherine, but the flow is extra nice. I love Catherine (a 10) but have never found the right middle.

    Henrietta Beatrice ....... 10 - Super Classic, dignified, but also playful and "cute". The strongly emphasized, side-by-side vowel sounds in both names -- ie & ea -- respectively, makes an very unusual, interesting combo__ henr-I-E-tta . b-E-A-trice__

    Phoebe Lucinda .......... 8 - Musical, and a nice style match.

    Rose Daphne .............. 9 - Makes a cool and unexpected double-barrel.

    Favorite - Agnes, Henrietta, Catherine

    Least - Blodwen, Gretchen, Asta

    PART 1:

    Gretel - I've always liked the name, but I've never liked Agnes.

    Esther - Gorgeous name. Astrid always struck me as masculine sounding, although it isn't.

    Imogen - One of my favourite names. It's beautiful. I'm not a fan of Beatric.

    Deirdre - Good Irish name :) Not a fan of Darla. Sounds very American...

    Frances - Hilda just sounds very unappealing. Frances is lovely.

    Regina - I love the meaning, but I'm not a huge fan of the name. I really don't like Gretchen though.

    Harriet - I love Hattie as a nickname :) I actually really like both names, but I just prefer Harriet.

    Jane - Beautiful name, and I prefer Jean (ZHOHN) for a boy.

    Millicent - Beautiful name. Mildred sounds a bit morbid.

    Temperance - One of my favourite names. Gorgeous.

    Winifred - I don't really like either, but I like Freddie as a nickname for a girl.
