    Abigail - nope
    Allegra - yes
    Antonia - maybe...
    Bernadette - no. I don't like names that were popular in my own generation
    Bianca - no. same as above
    Bridget - Yes
    Cadence - no, I don't like the way it sounds.
    Clementine- yes... but I think of flem.
    Daphne- maybe. How about Dahlia?
    Henrietta- not really a fan of femine versions of male names.
    Jemima - love it
    Josephine - no. WAY too many Jo's in my generation!
    Layla- yes
    Lena- no
    Lorelai/Lorelei- no
    Lyla- no
    Michaela- I prefer Mikayla but it had a boom a few years ago.
    Mika- pronounciation could be a problem?
    Payton/Peyton - i'm not a fan. I know this name is in vogue at the moment.
    Penelope - no. generation rule.
    Philomena- no, seems a bit too 'fancy'
    Piper- too popular at the moment
    Rafaela (not sure about this as DP's Sister's little girl is Ella - too close? Really do love it but think I need to stay away from that ending)- I don't really like it
    Samara- LOVE
    Seraphina- too fancy
    Tabitha- yes
    Temperance- too fancy
    Veronica- yes

    I don't really like any of them, but you know how strange I am, so I know you'll forgive me and not take it personally... LOL

    You could always use some of my leftover names cos I'm not having any more (and I really really do mean it. no more Mel.. no more!!)

    I really like Allegra from your list the only one I really didn't like much was Clementine (we have a cow on the farm called that and she is a pain ) but WOW your list is massive I don't feel so bad now

    my favs on your list are Peyton and Samara. and i think of those too Samara goes lovely with Imogen.
    i would take off Abigail and Allegra based on you not wanting to have a Immy & Ally or Abbie.
    i would take off Rafaela it is a bit close.

    Cadence (love it with a K)
    Peyton (what about Peyson/Payson, i think thats gorgeous)
    Seraphina (we very nearly called our dd this but ended up naming her Sapphire)
    Temperance (love this, love names like this)
    Samara (i do like this name)

    Those are the ones i like from your list, just thought i would suggest Vienna too. Its nice and pretty but unique, i have it as one of my dd's middle names
