Suggestions


Marigold nn Goldie -- Marisol, Magnolia, Saffron, Maribeth, Meredith, Poppy (Penelope nn Poppy or just Poppy as a nn), Josephine nn Posey, Rosemary

Lydia - Claudia, Livia, Olivia, Junia, Linnea
Naomi - Vashti, Amy, Aimee, Ramona, Simone
Annika - Viveca, Anna, Anastasia, Nico, Nicola, Monica
Anya - Anna, Anastasia, Tanya, Tatiana
Bethany - Bethan, Beth, Betha, Elizabeth, Annabeth, Sarabeth, Tiffany, Stephanie
Nora - Cora, Dora, Laura, Flora, Eleanor, Nola
Serena - Seren, Verena, Irina, Marina, Carina, Zarina, Sabrina, Sabina, Sabine, Selena
Nova - Orla, Stella, Mona, Lola, Lovisa, Nola
Esther nn Essie - Ruth, Hester, Vesper, Estelle, Stella, Estrella, Josephine nn Effie
Blair - Blake, Brooke, Blythe

Hope something in here helps! Annabeth, Maribeth, Magnolia (nn Nola?), Josephine, and Nola seem to hit some repeated notes.

Of the names you listed, I love Naomi and Lydia, and quite like Esther. Marigold would be super fun; way too bold for my own taste but good as bold names go and I'd love to meet a little Marigold!

All are worth considering.

Blair feels out of keeping from the rest for what that's worth -much more boyish and 80s (well, Bethany is a little 80s ish too, but feels more like the others). Annika and Anya I like but think of more as nn's (ridiculous perhaps, especially in the case of Annika, but that's what it evokes to me somehow anyway)

Good luck!

Naomi stands out to me.

Marigold/Goldie- I love this and got bullied out of using it for my daughter! I think it's lovely & bright. Maybe you would like Magnolia/Maggie or Golda? Larkspur, Azalea, Zinnia?
Lydia- very strong. I love that quality. Vivian, Lavinia, Ramona
Naomi- this was on my list as well, but I generally don't like names that end in I. Maybe Noelle or Leonie (my daughters name!)
Annika- don't like this cause I don't know where the stress is when pronouncing it. Maybe Anya or Anka, Elka or Erica?
Anya- very pretty. Maybe Freya, Raya, Isla? Anais?
Bethany- nms. Maybe Elspeth, Elisabet, Elisabetta, Elizabeth, Bonita, Bonnie, Belinda.
Nora- cute. Maybe Honor, Honoria, Eleanor or Lenore? Or Nina
Serena- is ok, but I love Sabine
Nova- love
Esther- pretty, but Essie makes me think nail polish
Blair- very crisp & preppy. Maybe Teal, Sloan or Fern?

Love Lydia, Anya & Nova

My favourite from your list is Nora. I think Marigold is interesting but I feel like she will end up being called Mary by classmates. Also, although I personally don't mind Esther, I know one and people often comment that her name sounds harsh/outdated (maybe because it's just not very common here).

You have a lot of Biblical names on there, maybe Eve, Keziah, Tamar (Tamara?), Phoebe, Tabitha....

Marigold nn Goldie - I think this would be an adorable nn for a blonde little girl. I'm not a big fan of the name Marigold.
Lydia - I love this, I feel like it has a middle eastern flair to it while still being acceptable in our cultures.
Naomi - It's okay, not my favorite.
Annika - Love this name, it's spunky and unexpected and if it's too much for her she can go by Annie or Nikki
Anya - Exotic sounding, I like it.
Serena - I always think of the tennis player
Nova - Short for Northern Virginia
Esther nn Essie - I feel like Esther is kind of a stuffy biblical name, Essie is okay
Blair - makes me think of a snobby snuck up popular girl :/

Overall my favorite names are Lydia, Annika and Anya

I like Naomi the best, by far, and then Blair. Good luck!
