oh my god I love the names Valentina, Angelina, & Cassandra. i love the name Isabella, too.

i don't really picture any type of girl...i guess a ~sophisticated~-looking type of girl with long hair, haha.

I know a Larisa in her mid-40s. I've had a couple of students named Kassandra. I know a cute 7th grader named Cecily. Tatiana to me is a Russian gymnast or figure skater. Georgiana reminds me of Jane Austen-era books. Arabella and Mirabelle I don't like.

Angelina is ruined for me because of jolie

[shortbutfast.livejournal.com]

she's not very girly either, heh. i like her for being atypical hollywood but having her name on a girly list is pretty funny.

Cassandra is my baby cousin, she's one, so I think of that straight away! I imagine an adult Cassandra to be self-assured yet reserved. Not over the top, quietly confident. Probably because my cousin sneaks around quietly making mischief!
I imagine an Isabella to be a bit pretentious.
I know two people called Larissa who are totally unalike so I can't really tell you.

Funny thing, a lot of names ending in -a (most notably Samantha, Tatiana, those kind of names) are considered quite tacky here!

I do like Angelina, Cecily & Valentina, though.

Cassandra
Juliana
Scarlett

Mirabelle is my husband's favorite girl name. I aso quite like Savannah, Georgiana, Arabella, Cecily

[mrssubee.livejournal.com]

there are a whole bunch of Angelina's in my school- I think it's the new 'Jennifer" I really like Arabella- my husband wants no part of it

I am so surprised that Camille-Camilla is not on this list. I like Georgina but would never use it, same with Scarlett. I might use Isabella. Don't like the rest.

I always got a trashy vibe from Larissa.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i think i tend to lean away from the -a sounding names, with the exception of francesca, of course, but thats for personal meaning.

i like gabrielle, but not gabriella, and i love isabel, but not isabella.

from this list, i like cecily.

cassandra - bookish, shy
isabella - smart, sophisticated, girly through and through
larissa - trashy

Angelina Ballerina & Jolie, nothing wrong with the connotations, I'm just not a fan.
Arabella Figg! Harry Potter. My only association. I think the name is kind of ugly. :X
Carolina - Would prefer Caroline but not really a fan of either.
Cassandra - mythology. There's nothing wrong with the name. I picture a quieter girl.
Cecily - The Importance of Being Ernest! I love the name.
Clarissa Explains It All. She had fun pajamas. Wouldn't use the name myself.
Gabriella - Eh. I prefer Gabrielle, but I really only like the male Gabriel.
Georgiana - Pride and Prejudice! I think the name has a lovely sound.
Isabella-says. I think of the character from Johnny Tremain. She was spoiled. That said, it's a fine name. I think I prefer Isabelle.
Juliana was a friend of mine in kindergarten. She had blond hair. I think she spelled her name with two n's. It's a pretty name.
Larissa - I don't like it. I don't tend to like -issa names. Don't know why.
Mirabelle - don't like. Makes me think of a farm or Southern ladies for some reason.
Savannah - It's getting pretty popular, isn't it? I don't, generally, like place-names.
Scarlett - I knew a girl named Scarlett. She had red hair, but the name was picked out before she was born. Part of me likes the name, but mostly no. After I think of the girl I knew, I think of Scarlett O'Hara and scarlet fever.
Tatiana - Back and forth on this one. Does make me think of Russia.
Valentina - Gag.

Apparently, I'm not the kind of girl to use "stylish girly-girl names."

C[K]arolina and Cassandra are actually both on my list. Valentina and Savannah are both pretty, but Savannah is a bit too trendy for me.

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Cassandra, I picture someone sophisticated and intelligent. Isabella, I picture a toddler. Larissa, I picture someone really trashy, but the only Larissa I ever knew was really trashy, so that could be influencing my perception of it.
