I have posted about some of these names before, but DH and I are getting nowhere when it comes to making a decision! Please give your opinion on each of the names below. I really would like something easy to say and easy to spell (my name is neither and it is annoying). Something not super popular either. Big brother is Calvin.
Adelia/Delia
Anastasia (nn Anna)
Anna
Evelyn (nn Evie)
Gwyneth (nn Gwen)
Ivy
Lorelei/Lorelai (nn Rory)
Re: Girl List
My favorites on your list are Ivy and Delia. I think they pair best with Calvin.
I think Anna and Evelyn are creeping up in popularity (but are beautiful names) and Lorelei, Gweneth and Anastasia are a bit heavy handed for my personal taste.

I like Ivy.
Anastasia reminds me of 50 shades, sorry.

Adelia/Delia - I like it. Have you considered Cordelia?
Anastasia - Love it! However, it does remind me of the '50 Shades' Trilogy.
Anna - Love it! It pairs nicely with Calvin.
Evelyn - Like it.
Gwyneth - Like it.
Ivy - Love it!
Lorelei/Lorelai - I love the Lorelei spelling, but it's so Gilmore Girls...

If you want something easy to say and easy to spell, I would cross off Adelia, Anastasia, and Lorelei from the list. Not a fan of them anyway.
I love Anna and Evelyn nn Evie. I like Gwyneth nn Gwen also.
Not a fan of Ivy.
My vote would be Evelyn nn Evie.
I also like the "v" connection ivy and Evelyn have with Calvin, as another poster pointed out. Our last name starts with V also.
Anna seems a little boring to me but is DH favorite.
I like Evelyn the most.
I can't Ivy....reminds me of poison ivy.
I would say this for spelling. I suck at it and don't know if I would get these right.
I like the other 3, Like Evelyn nn Evie the best!
Great list! I really like Delia, Anna, Gwyneth, Ivy, and Lorelei. I do think you'll have pronunciation/spelling issues with Lorelei though. I like Calvin and Delia, Calvin and Anna, and Calvin and Ivy the best.
ETA - just saw your post that Anna is your DH's favorite. There must be something about that name...it's my DH's favorite too, and while I like it, I worry that it's too boring too.
