Adriana, but I do like Ariana.
Elaine, but prefer Elaina.
Brendon, but I also like Brandon, Brenton and Brennan.
Jerry. I don't know why but I've never liked Terry. "/
Ember because its newer and I like the image of a feisty spirit. I do like Amber though.
I really like Mara, but Maria is good, too.
Tyler, but I also adore Skyler.
Elise because it rolls of the tongue better than Elsie.
Rain because it sounds majestic, but I also like Raina.
I've always been fond of Julie. Juliet is pretty, but not my style. It also seems too Shakespearian.
1. Adriana -like them basically the same, but right now im drawn more towards Adriana
2. Elaine- I find it more elegant
3. Brendan -don't really care that much
4. Jerry -because i dislike Terry
5. Amber -I personally find Ember a little cheesy
6. Maria -timeless and elegant
7. Tyler -not big on Skyler
8. Elise -sophisticated and sweet, and I like Elsie best as a nickname
9. Raina -classy
10. Juliet -Julie could be a nickname

Wish I could say the same. In any case, I'm pretty sure I like the look of Arianna more. Not really sure why though. I also genuinely prefer Adriana/Adrianna more.
