Britney. It's the simplest, although Brittany is prettier. Either way it's bound to get misspelled.
Katherine all the way.
Alia is the simplest and it looks the best.
Nicholas looks the best.
Valerie looks the best.
Casey looks the best but I do prefer Kasey and Kacey on females.
Aiden because I like "Ai" over simply "A" and "den" over "dan".
Isabelle because it looks the prettiest.
Elliott looks the most complete.
Zane looks the best.
Katherine all the way.
Alia is the simplest and it looks the best.
Nicholas looks the best.

1. Brittany

5. I'd prefer Valeria, but of these, Valerie f. Valarie is like salary and Valorie is like calorie (and anyway the name doesn't mean valor)

7. Aidan
8. Isabel
9. Elliot
10. Zane ... the others look like they might be pron to rhyme wine

1. Brittany because it most reflects the meaning.
2. It depends on the namesake. I don’t have a preference.
3. None. Aaliyah is how it should be spelled.
4. Nicholas, but this seems anglophonic.
5. Valorie because it looks like valor
6. Casey. Personal preference.
7. Aiden probably. Aden looks like it would be pronounced differently.
8. Isabel. Historical precedent
9. Elliot. Two L’s is just right. Two T’s is just fussy.
10. Zayn probably. Zane next. Zain looks like vain.

I hate the spelling Aaliyah, so I think it should be spelled anyway else, haha.
I do wonder when they romanize a name from Arabic why they sometimes add two A’s. Idk I don’t speak Arabic.
Aa is closer to the Arabic pronunciation. I think it's usually to indicate the letter ayn, which doesn't exist in English (it's more guttural).
