I like
Judith and
Laurel.
Helen is haughty sounding to me, even weird on a child.
Anne is meh ...
Anna is more appealing IMO.
Ellen sounds glum and plain to me. Both
Anne and
Ellen seem drab next to more colorful
Miriam.
Sam is such a nice name. I dislike the full name
Samuel but if he were always
Sam I would hardly mind it.
Raphael is so pretty - my son's best friend's name - but a little difficult, TBH. Not so difficult that it's unusable. Both
Sam and
Raphael go well with
Miriam, but
Malcolm is the coolest, I like it the most.
