I'm pretty indifferent about most of them. Because they are so common, I neither like or hate them.
I really dislike Jessica and Justine though. Just not my kind of names, I guess.
I really love Leah. It's pretty high on my list ♥ =)

I like Gabrielle better than Gabriella, but it's okay. I don't really like it that much, though. My friend's little sister is named this, and they cal her Gabby and Ellie; I prefer Ellie.

Emily is really common, but a gorgeous name. So classic:)

Jessica isn't used as much as it used to be, and I really like the name Jess.

Natalie is gorgeous. Not really a fan of Christina.

Miranda is nice, too. I like Mia as a nickname.

Nina is kind of plain. Charlotte is pretty, but really popular right now.

I really don't like Rhiannon.

Justine is okay, and growing on me, but I dislike the feminized versions of boy names with very few exceptions.

I don't like Taylor on a girl. Eliana is okay, but I prefer Elena. Much cleaner and more sophisticated, I think.

Leah is beautiful. I like Cara, but prefer Kara or Karen.

Joanna is pretty, but I like Josephine better.

Jessica, Christina, and Taylor all sound very dated to me and I don't like them much anyway. Gabrielle, Nina, and Charlotte are probably my favorites.

Gabrielle (or Gabriella. idk which I like more)- I love both. Hate the nn Gabby, though
Emily - Its pretty, but soooo popular
Jessica - it screams 80's to me
Natalie - pretty, but not my style
Christina - its ok...I'd prefer something like Christobel
Miranda - Its grown on me in recent years, mostly due to Mirand Richardson, whom I love
Nina - I love Nina Simone, so I can't complain
Charlotte - It has grown on me. I used to think it was stale, but I've warmed up to it
Rhiannon - The song killed it
Justine - Not a fame; I can't help but think of Justine Bateman
Taylor - its fine, but I don't think I'd use it (which is strange because I like masculine names)
Eliana - Love it
Leah - Eh
Cara - I like it pn car-a, not so much pn care-a
Joanna - don't care for it; it seems very dated

Gabrielle (or Gabriella. idk which I like more) - I prefer Gabriella, although I think they both are nice, though.
Emily - It's fairly neutral with me. Kind of boring, but I don't especially loathe it.
Jessica - I'm not a fan.
Natalie - I prefer Natalia, but it's a nice name and it has a cute meaning.
Christina - I'm indifferent.
Miranda - Admired Miranda! I love Miranda, and one doesn't see it often, which is a plus. It also has lots of nick-names :)
Nina - It's okay.
Charlotte - Ehhhhh. It's okay, but it's incredibly popular, so I'm inclined to dislike it. I do like the nick-name Lottie, however.
Rhiannon - One of the names I really hate. I find it ugly, and it reallly irks me when people are all ~WELSH GODDESS~ with it. Ugh.
Justine - Meh. I have no feelings.
Taylor - About the girls in elementary school were named Taylor. I can't say I ever liked it.
Eliana - Ugly on paper, ugly in speech.
Leah - Love Leah, and it's one of those classic names that doesn't get used a lot :)
Cara - It looks incomplete to me.
Joanna - I prefer the spelling Johanna, but it's decent.

Gabrielle/Gabriella- HATE. It sounds so awful to me.
Emily- Really cute, but super popular.
Jessica- I like how it's from Shakespeare, but EVERY girl my age has this name.
Natalie- LOVE. Except for the girl on Facts of Life, I really like this name.
Christina- Like it better Kristina
Miranda- Love it.
Nina- Ehh. I think of the ship.
Charlotte- Cute.
Rhiannon- Awful; I think of a rhino.
Justine- This is okay, but I knew a girl by this name so it has an ugly image for me (which shouldn't affect you liking it)
Taylor- I really like this one.
Eliana- Alright.
Leah- Okay.
Cara- This is really nice.
Joanna- Pretty neutral on this one.
