    Strong opinions welcome:)

    We are moving next door to an elementary school and I found out there are alot of Kaias, my daughters name. So now I want to stay away from trendy, and I'm bringing out other favorites.
    Penelope- is by far my favorite and the most popular one, but less worried if she goes by Poppy.
    Sloane- I've seen this pop up more and more
    Imogen
    Maeve or Esme
    Willa
    Blythe

    My girls have cute dark blonde little bobs and are extremely spirited, if that helps with the names.
    Gods Grace has been lavished upon me, a sinner.

    Penelope- great-sounding name, classic and even a little sexy. Poppy is cute. I'm a sucker for Penny myself.
    Sloane- I strongly dislike this one. Sounds slow, slimy, and weasely to me. Sorry!
    Imogen- a very classic name, but edgy at the same time. It doesn't tug at my heartstrings, but I think it's quite elegant.
    Maeve- daring, Irish, mad queen charging down the stormy beach kind of name. I like it.
    Esme- It's an odd one - first and second syllables equally stressed, and the ZM-sound is rather exotic. It's odd but good.. I have an image of an Esme looking like an illustration in an Edward Gorey book - thin, glamorous, strange, maybe she has a pet lizard or something.
    Willa- Willa is wild and free sounding, yet dry in a certain way, like wheat fields. Quite nice. I prefer Wylda.
    Blythe- Has a Golden Girls feeling to me, but once I get past that first association, the name sounds joyful and light.

    Penelope is nms at all, I don't really see the appeal. I do think this might catch on a bit due to Kourtney Kardashian's daughter.
    Sloane is a very negative seeming name to me. I can see why it's liked, but I can't get behind it.
    Imogen is a bit of a...bothersome name to me. Not a fan.
    Maeve is nice. Esme is okay.
    Willa I really like.
    Blythe I see no appeal.

    The way you describe your girls, I think Esme and Imogen are perfect. I also love Blythe! Not a fan of the others.

    I love Imogen, Maeve and Blythe as first names! Penelope seems pretty trendy, and although it's lovely I do think it will shoot up more with the Kardashian association so prepare for her to be sharing her name.

    Tess, Kaia, Jasper & Imogen seems perfect to me. Imogen Blythe, Imogen Willa or Imogen Penelope would be super cute.

    Penelope - Rather popular. Very beautiful though. Dislike Poppy, though, sorry. I like Penny or Nell though.
    Imogen - Extremely nice, on my own list but can't get husband to consider it.
    Maeve - Pretty, and not overused. A bit of a dreamy sound.
    Esme - I love this. And I also love Esmeralda but that's more of a guilty pleasure than easy to wear.
    Willa - Vintage, but not too frilly. Could see it working well with your other names.
    Blythe - I really love Blythe.

    The only name of your list I actively dislike is Sloane. Penelope Maeve or Imogen Blythe would be extremely gorgeous.

    Willa is my favorite of what you've listed. Sloane is a maybe for me. The rest are definitely not my style.

    I love Imogen, Esme and Maeve. They have great sounds, character and history. I really like the idea of Blythe but find it a bit difficult to say, although that may just be my Australian accent!
    Willa for me is coloured by a mean lecturer that I had with this name - so I can't give an unbiased opinion!
    I'm not really a fan of Penelope. I think it may become quite popular, and I just don't like it's sound!
