I like Eileen best, it's friendly in a brassy way. Elaine is next, then Suzanne, then Kate.
Suzanne. Then Katharine, but not Kate; Helen, but not Elaine or Eileen.
Suzanne. It's not a favorite.
I like Elaine okay.
Eileen is nice, but I like Isla more. I don't really care for Eileen when it's pronounced with an "Ail" sound instead of an "I'll" sound.
Kate is a name that a Catherine or Katherine might choose for herself. If she does, I might like it. I knew a Kate who wore the name well. I don't like the idea of Kate as an imposed nickname (or full name), though. Too cutesy.

I like all four names but I would rate them as follows.
1 Elaine - I knew a lovely Scottish redhead with freckles with this name and have liked it ever since.
2 Kate- one of the few "nicknames as first names" that I like.
3 Suzanne - the name of my late cousin who died of cancer in her forties. However, I do prefer Susanna.
4 Eileen - Isla may be more on trend but I like the gentle sound of this name. It's just so Irish to me.

Kate > Suzanne > Eileen > Elaine
Kate is super pretty. I don't care for the others.
