I don't like "leg" in Allegra. It doesn't sound feminine.
Annabel looks unfinished. I prefer Annabelle. Its decently pretty.
I love Claire.
I don't like the sound of Frances.
Martha is not my kind of antique name, probably because it still pops up everywhere.
Rosalind is refreshingly antique in contrast.
Sylvie seems too ...childlike on its own. Slyvia is better.

Allegra - I don't get the allure of a medicinal name.
Annabel - Beautiful name, but I prefer Annabelle. I think the -elle ending is elegant and stunning!
Claire - Beautiful classic name! I'd probably do a more unique spin on it, though, like Clarina or Claira, so it's not so common.
Frances - I think it's ugly, sorryyyy. I'm honestly surprised it's rising in popularity because it seems so dated.
Martha - It's alright, but it's a little dated. However, that doesn't mean you can't use it!
Rosalind - Not a huge fan of most "Rose" iterations, to be honest, nor the "D" ending sound.
Sylvie - It's alright, but it reads more like a nickname for Sylvia to me.

Allegra - okay, but might end up as just another Allie. I also find it a bit harsh. Great meaning, though.
Annabel - lovely and perfect.
Claire - bright and shining, a bit 90s.
Frances - unattractive sound.
Martha - okay, a bit old fashioned.
Rosalind - nice middle name. As a first name, I fear it would get shortened.
Sylvie - cute but not my favorite.
Annabel - lovely and perfect.
Claire - bright and shining, a bit 90s.

Allegra: I'm from the states, so the allergy medication immediately comes to mind. Even throughout the association, I still wouldn't really care for it. It's not awful, but there are just better names out there. The Italian pronunciation is certainly better though.
Annabel: Incomplete, but otherwise fine. As far as spelling goes, I vastly prefer Annabelle, even if it's the name of a notoriously haunted doll. I also picture someones like pet cow named this.
Claire: Easily my favorite from this list. I've always enjoyed it. It's simple, yet beautiful and classy.
Frances: Neutral. It is overused (although mostly now as a middle name) and dated, but otherwise harmless. I wouldn't use it, but I certainly don't hate it. I like it better than Francis for guys.
Martha: Pretty much in the same category with Frances. Completely Neutral, only I think I prefer Frances a bit more. I've tried in the past to like Martha more, but it just brings to mind Martha Stewart and also the name of a PBS kids show about a talking dog.
Rosalind: Beautiful and elegant. My 2nd favorite from this list.
Sylvie: I like it, but prefer better as a nickname. It doesn't work quite as well on it's own as with Sylvia, Sylvania and what have you, but wouldn't be terrible.

Allegra - not attractive to me; is used now and then in South Africa, surprisingly.
Annabel - lovely etymology, but as a name I prefer Mabel or, and especially, Anne.
Claire - prefer and would use Clare. Using a French spelling but not a French pronunciation seems pointless.
Frances - pleasant enough; I prefer Francis for a boy.
Martha - heavy and dull.
Rosalind - bad associations but not a bad name; I do prefer Rosamond or even Rosemary.
Sylvie - why, why, why when Sylvia is so beautiful and has been used for at least two millennia? Sylvia can be Sylvie if she likes, but Sylvie is left without any choice.

Allegra: I can't think of anything but allergy medicine, or the name Princess Diana would have given a daughter, if she ever had one.
Annabel: Meh. It's not super popular, but it's popular enough that it doesn't register with me. It's fiiiiine.
Claire: Nice, plain but in a good way, sturdy, old-fashioned. Pretty.
Frances: Lovely, spirited. I am a big fan.
Martha: Ugly as fuuuuuuck.
Rosalind: Very pretty, very medieval, storybook princess.
Sylvie: The name people use when they want to go the cozy grandma route without using Sophie, Ellie, and other names like that. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

Rosalind was on my list if we had a second child, and I love Claire.
Allegra is lovely, but it would get "that's an allergy medicine" in the US
I prefer Sylvia to Sylvie, but both are nice.
Martha and Frances are no-nonsense, solid, and timeless.
Annabel annoys me, most belle names do.

Thanks! I’m not in the US, so the allergy medicine thing doesn’t really matter, but I do worry the name looks too much like “Allergy” anyway…(which is bad considering I have an allergy).
