Lexi - nice but Amanda Holden puts me off.
Martha - A very 'sturdy' name
Rebecca - child of the 1970s
Florence - bit of a mouthful with your surname
Libby - My favourite
Stephanie - Good choice.
Clementine - no. Know one with an annoying mother.

I find Lexi a really difficult name. I think it's very nice, but...it rhymes with sexy and I think you'd get called "sexy Lexi" etc which would be fine in certain situations but deeply uncomfortable in other situations. Also, what if Lexi isn't sexy - the namecalling by teenagers would be horrible.

Lexi - cool
Martha - beautiful
Rebecca - lovely
Florence - lovely
Libby - cool
Stephanie - too 70s for my taste
Clementine - sorry, think it sounds awful with your surname and she and you will get bored of it very quickly.i can't imagine a 40 year old called Clementine!!

I like Libby with Elizabeth on BC also Martha.

Id wondered about Clementine but couldn't convince myself that it would be a good grown-up name so vetoed it.

I think Lexi is too 'Hello' magazine and for me isn't a name in itself.

Stephanie and Rebecca both a bit nothingy.

Alexia or Alexa for Lexi?

Elizabeth for Libby

Florence is going to do a Ruby/Grace/Olivia (is beautiful though)

I love Clementine but also a bit faddy

Martha & Rebecca - nice but kind of ordinary

Stephanie - still too 70s for me

Martha Kathleen Friedmann

By far the best combo.

Lexi - bit too trendy for my liking. Could call her Alexandra then she would have more options.
Martha - love
Rebecca - v nice and classic
Florence - nice but bit faddy
Libby - nice as nickname for Elizabeth
Stephanie - nice, seems quite unusual now
Clementine - like it!

Natasha is a fabulous name - cool, timeless and very under-used. Go for it!

Natasha sounds great with your surname and it's lovely.

I like Rebecca or Elizabeth too.

Natascha Friedmann sounds very German (nothing wrong with that ).

I love Clementine with your surname, it has a 1900s feel.

I think you should call her Sally J if you are a Judy Blume fan. Otherwise I'd go for Martha or Florence from your list.
