Imogen
I don't care for the rest. They seem too made up to me and not real names with a long history. Go with the standard spelling unless you have a darn good reason for using a nonstandard spelling - such as it is a legitimate spelling in your native language or from your ethnic heritage that you want to honor, and then be prepared for lots of misspellings and mispronunciation.

Date: 2013-09-19 11:26 pm (UTC)Kinlee, Kinslea, Brodaleea and Laklin sound like surnames.
Imogen and Mariska sound the most "normal' of the lot, but they aren't personally my style.
Jaelah sounds like a name you'd find in a fantasy fiction novel.

Date: 2013-09-20 04:15 pm (UTC)But in all serious, I hope she goes for Mariska or Imogen, which are actually really nice names. I don't know how she likes those two and also likes Layklin.

Date: 2013-09-22 04:37 am (UTC)How in the world do you pronounce Brodaleea/Brodaleaha/Brodaliea??
Laklin I thought could be a messed up Lachlan/Lochlan, but the other spellings suggest "Lake-lin" which I just don't see as a name.

Date: 2013-10-07 05:45 am (UTC)I like Kinsley, but I don't like any of the rest of these really.
