I can see why it's such a long list, you have some really, really nice names!! I think Eugenie is my favorite of the bunch.
Alexandra: Like it for a MN, not so much FN
Charlotte: Know way too many of these roaming around.
Elizabeth: Pretty/classic. Really don't mind it.
Eugenie: NMS at all
Jennifer: Really NMS at all.
Katherine: Ehh.
Phillipa: Not a fan.
Serena: My fave! Love Serena & Serene!
Veronica: NMS.
Vivienne: NMS.
Alexandra- very pretty
Charlotte- overdone IMO
Elizabeth- nice but pretty plain, I do like the nn Betty
Eugenie- not my style, I just think of Eugene, then the dad on American pie, think that's the actors name?
Jennifer- decent name but dated and plain
Katherine- pretty, like this spelling best too, I like nn Kate.
Phillipa- just nms
Serena- this is my DDs name so obviously I love it! Its underused, easily recognized, pronounced and spelled, I just think its the prettiest sounding name!
Veronica- love this name, I considered it but think its just a bit too big of a name and I dont like the nn Vera.
Vivienne- nice name just nms.
Charlotte and Veronica are my favorite.
I would say Elizabeth, but I feel like it's getting really popular now. However, I know a little girl who's name is Elizabeth but they call her Liza or Eliza and I absolutely love that.
My favorites-
Charlotte
Elizabeth
Serena
Serena and Vivienne are my favorites. Charlottle is nice too, but I know a couple of baby Charlottes.
Alexandra, Elizabeth and Katherine are fine names, NMS, but nice enough.
Jennifer is nice too, but I had 3 best friends in high school all named Jennifer. I've known dozens of Jennifers in my lifetime. It's too dated and (formerly) popular for me to use on a baby.
Veronica and Eugenie sound harsh to me and I just don't care for Phillipa.
Alexandra- pretty but I'd put in the mn spot as I don't love any of the nns.
Charlotte- pretty, but played out IMO
Elizabeth- Love. Still popular, but has so many nn options
Eugenie- I'd like this in the mn spot if you choose one of the -a names for the fn. (Veronica Eugenie)
Jennifer- so dated
Katherine- pretty but also played out and I am so beyond over the nn Kate!
Phillipa- Pretty, and Pippa is cute as a nn, but might be popular soon due to the Royal wedding
Serena- okay
Veronica-My favorite on your list
Vivienne- pretty
These are all good names.
Alexandra- I absolutely love this name but hate the unisex feel of Alex
Charlotte- very pretty, I don't love it but I can't think of any thing bad about it either.
Elizabeth- Fairly popular but for good reason.
Eugenie- I've never been a fan of names that end in the "ee" sound. It is unique however.
Jennifer- Was overly used many years ago, I grew up with so many Jennifer's but this doesn't make it any less of a nice name. NMS but nothing wrong with it.
Katherine- This name will probably gain a lot of popularity after the Royal Wedding but it doesn't take away from a lovely name and I love the nn Katie.
Phillipa- I'm not a fan of this one either. I think it has a strange sound to it.
Serena- Another nice name.
Veronica- I love the name Veronica. I think it is classic without being dated and has a very nice sound to it in general.
Vivienne- I think the same of Vivienne as I do Veronica.

You are right about the spelling of Philippa. I had a feeling something looked wrong about the way DH had it but I thought it was just my imagination.
I love Eugenie with the quasi-French pronounciation "yu-ZHEN-ee". I also like Philippa (spelled this way), Katherine and Elizabeth. The others aren't my style, but there's nothing wrong with them.
