I like the historical references (political science major here, with quite a bit of interest in history, so....) =)

Of your names my favorites are Claire, Julienne, Leah, Vivian, Aaron, James, Nicholas and Vincent.

I hate the way Vivienne and Zooey look. Vivienne looks too long and Zooey looks like ZOO-ie, as in a Zoo.
