From an outside perspective I like the name Sarah best and would easily pick it from this list for a daughter. It's my favorite "common" female name. I would for sure use it as a nickname for Seraphina as well in the form of Sara. As for myself I most aline with the type of "Rachel" personality I imagine with the name and would probably pick it if I had to pick one of these. I was REALLY into Rachel for a while as a name idea for a daughter but have since come off it a bit because of a difficult person I've known with it in the meantime. I kind of dislike Megan the most it just feels so overly modern and empty, and I don't inherently dislike modern names on principle it just feels like 90s fluff to me and uninteresting and overly boring. I knew so many growing up it's just kind of lost any appeal it once had to me. Caitlin I have the same issue with though not to quite the same extent. I see Emma more as a name a product of the generation after me and not my own as I knew none until I was a teenager and they were a few that started cropping up in the form of younger children. I do like it even though it feels more like a fade in my ears than a name in and out of fashion like the other classics. I definitely attribute Friends aiding in it's popularity rise and like to imagine the alternate timeline where the creators picked Delilah instead and seeing a ton of teenage Delilahs running around in the present. It says a lot by what parents pick as names for their children but it says a ton by what creators pick for their characters.
