Some OK names on your list but Mietta sounds like a cat's name and Monique is a bit phone sexish for me. If I had to pick one it would be Hayley, closely followed by Bianca.

Wow I like a lot of those names! I love Mia too and I wouldn't worry about its popularity. It's a 'transcender' for me and maybe it's already peaked anyway. Also very fond of Mietta, Helena and Lucy. Also Juliet if spelt thus. Also like Michaela (but worry about all the spellings about which kinda detract from it), Katerina and Monique. You could get 2 for one if you went Mietta, known as Mia. I would shortlist to Mia, Mietta and Helena.

DH likes French names and spellings (hence Julliette spelling). I'm not that excited by all the "ique" names, but Monique is the only one I'd consider. I like Juliette but really don't like Julie, Jules etc for nick names

If he's into French names what about Miette?

If a cat doesn't like you, then what's wrong with you?
Michaela, Bianca and Helena would be my top picks.

I like Helena best. FWIW I would prefer Juliet with that spelling too.

I really like Mietta, I think Gudrun's suggestion of Mietta nn Mia is great. Also like Juliette, either spelling.
