Reese is my top girl pick right now too. Having a hard time picking a middle name though.
My neighbor just had a little girl named Sidney and she is so sweet. I think Sydney/Sidney is a beautiful name. It's kind of weird to hear them call her Sid though. Every time I hear the name Sid I think of a big dopey kid at school who used to pick on people.
Sydney -- This name makes me simultaneously think of both Australia and Neve Campbell's character in "Scream". That said, my mother really liked it and tried to get me to use it on both of my daughters.
Alexa -- Big time played-out.
Reese -- I think this is cute, even though it's a bit trendy (in my opinion).
Zoe -- I like this name, regardless of its popularity, alas -- my husband wouldn't go for it.
Re: What do you think of these girl names?
Alexa- Nice, my favorite of your list.
Reese- Cute.
Zoe- I have never really liked this name plus it is very very popular.

none of them are my style but they are all ok names...
id pick zoe
I like Zoe best; Alexa is nice but IMO it sounds like a nn; I'd prefer Alexis or Alexandra
Reese is ok
I don't like Sydney
They're all just kind of "meh" for me.
Sydney reminds me of Australia.
Reese reminds me of the actress.
Alexa is ok, I prefer Alexandria.
Zoe sounds like a TV character.

I agree with all of this.
Zoe - favorite of your choices.
Sydney and Reese are ok.
Alexa- sounds like a medicine. Not a fan AT ALL.
I like the longer names with the short nicknames (but that is my typical preference) But this is my favorite name out of your choices.
I like them all though I like Sydney the least.
Sydney - NMS, but definitely my favorite of the 4
Alexa - I hate all girl names with LEX in them
Reese - it's cute, but too popular/trendy IMO; I prefer it for a boy (spelled Rhys)
Zoe -super cute on the Sesame Street muppet, but not IRL
