Also, Laura - I thought of the name Liselotte just the other day which is used here in Sweden, and since you like Anneliese, I thought I'd suggest it. Seems to me as a good compromise for someone who likes Anneliese or Charlotte.

Adelaide
Alice
Alma
* Anneliese

The ones I'd ditch because I don't think they're really usable:
Calliope- ok, to be honest, I just think this is extremely unappealing and awkward
Clemency- I see the appeal, but it's kinda disease-y sounding to me.
Indie & Indigo- I'd be embarrassed if this were my name
Magnolia- ditto

I'd personally ditch these because I really don't like them, but there's nothing wrong with them:
Angelica
Calla
Clementine
Cleo
Giselle
Hadley
Hattie (not substantial enough for me as a given name)
Kerensa
Marlo
Milena
Penelope
Romy
Tallulah

I LOVE these:
Alba
Cecily
Dahlia
Iris
Leonora
Louisa
Lucia
Lucina
Lucy
Octavia
Rosaline
Rosemary
Tessa
Verity

And the others I either like, or really like, and would keep.

My top 10 is:
Alba Iris, Leonora, Cecily, Rosemary, Rosaline, Tessa, Verity, Louisa, Dalia & Octavia
I do love Lucia/ Lucy/ Lucina, but Lucia "Lucy" is my name so it's not one I'd personally pick if I were naming a daughter because that'd be weird, but I do think they're great

My favourites with Claudie are:
Adelaide
Alice
Florence
Genevieve
Lila (pronounced lee-la, though)
Ottilie
Rosaline
Seraphine
Claudie is really French to me, so apparently I matched it with the French names, or the names that work in French.
Claudie and Florence are espectially appealing to me. I think they're perfect together!

I like Annalise better than Anneliese. And Georgia better than Georgiana. I also don't like names that I read and not sure how to say.. I am in school for education and I know she would hate her name being said wrong over - and -over....
