Almost there...

Hello again nameberryites!

Here is the second half of my girls list, the other half is under 'since everyone else is doing it' which some of you have read and responded to, thanks:) I say almost there because next I will post favourites for boys, which is a much shorter list I promise! Once again this post will be incredibly long so same rules apply, be brutally honest and you don't have to comment on all of them. Cheers everyone:)
