Ilsabel is with an I and an L (ilsabel)
Persephone is pronounced Per-sef-un-knee. It's greek.
Madailein is the Irish spelling of Madelane.
I prefer to spell Elisabeth with an S, as it just looks softer. It's not actually that uncommon.
Clementine is pronounced clay-mon-teen.
This is not to say that I don't appreciate your opinions. I do; I just want to clarify things!

It looks like you are having a girl, you have a lot of good names here. I would go for something a little different but not extremely unusual: Anabel (I prefer the spelling Annabelle); Aurora; Elspeth (especially if you are Irish-its a nice Irish name); Persephone. Although I like the following names I wouldn't use them: Violet (Ben Affleck and Jen Garner's baby's name); Hazel (Julia Robert's baby's name): Clementine (From the kid's song-On Top of Old Smokey). Congratulations on the new baby.

Wow! You are great at choosing names! I love all of them (to some degree). However the ones that just jumped out at me were: Clementine (pronounced Clem-on-teen), Harper, Imogen, Madailein, and Lucy. The ones that are just ok are Anabel,Isleen, Hazel, and Persephone. The ones that are bad are Sadie, Anne, Alice, Caroline, Charlotte, Katherine, and Elisabeth. The only reason I say this is because they are average, I like the more unique names you chose, I know Lucy is common but its still pretty. Now there are only five that are "absolutely atrocious", Augusta, Ainsley, Eleanor, Elspeth, and Florentine.
But my absolute favorite by far is Leanora.

Wow!! You have a lot of names to choose from! Well here's my opinion (since you asked!!) =)
LOVE: Aurora, Charlotte, Elisabeth, Georgia, Isabel, Katherine
So-So: Adeline, Amelie, Caroline, Evelyn, Meredith, Violet
Really Do Not Like: Ainsley, Augusta, Clementine, Florentine, Hazel, Leanora, Madailein, Magnolia, Persephone
Downright UGLY/WEIRD: Elspeth, Harper, Imogen, Isleen
Have you decided on a middle name? Think a lot about what your daughter can go by (nick names) if her full name does not fit her personality. For example: my name is Julia Joy... my parents chose it because I could be Julia if I was a girly girl, Julie if I was more perky or extroverted, or J.J. if I was more of a tomboy! Try saying your daughter's name as if she is receiving her diploma at her college graduation...does it sound normal? Can her name be shortened to something simple and cute for when she is very young? If you are really in love with an original but kind of out there name, it can be her middle name! If she loves it too, she can go by it, but don't force it on her. Remember, your daughter will have a personality of her own, choose a name that will allow her to be whoever she chooses, and doesn't make her subject to any stereotypes. Good luck and congratulations!!!

maybe you could combine some of the names here as a full name ( first middle etc ). maybe these combinations would help:
Susanna Evelyn
Anabel Hazel
Katherine Leanora
Isabel Lorelai
Violet Adeline
Caroline Elisabeth
Eleanor Anne
now the names that are "absolutely atrocious" :
Persephone : kidnapped wife of hades, just no
Clementine : that's my grannie's name
Magnolia : name of an ice cream brand in the philippines ( have a nephew there he brings it whenever he comes to the USA )
Aurora : sounds tacky ( no offense )
Elspeth : sounds a little weird
Augusta : sounds like the female version of the guy from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
hope this helps !

These are just not my style, but they're not ugly:

These names are--no offense--really not that attractive:

That's just my input. Good luck, and I'd love to hear which names you choose.

I really like Ainsley, though it is getting a little more common since I first heard it 3 years ago. It's a nice, unique name.
I also like Evelyn. It's pretty and simple. Very underused. Also, it was my grandmother's name. (My husband didn't like it, though).
Evie would be a good nickname.
I REALLY like Ilsabel. That is really pretty to me, for some reason. Just slightly different, but very nice.
Harper is nice, too. Very cute for a girl.
Names I could do without:
Aurora- Too hard to say
Elsabel, Elspeth- Eh, not my faves
Isleen- bleh.
Lorelai- Too Gilmore Girls
Magnolia- Too old lady
Persephone- Too Greek Goddess
Violet- Just really popular right now. I think there are going to be a lot of Violets in kindergarten in 4 years.
You have a lot of nice names. Good luck narrowing them down!

some were a little too off the wall-- Persephone? i don't even know what to think of that.... sorry. these were the ones i liked. also, some were just odd ways of spelling a name that could be spelled much easier. why make it more difficult on the child? yeah, unique is nice, but not on something you have to keep correcting CONSTANTLY throughout life.
Adeline
Ainsley- i think of a man-- not pretty
Alice- an old woman
Amelie- too weird-- is it emily, aimy... or amelie...
Anabel
Anne
Augusta- too close to augustus caesar
Aurora- too scientific
Caroline
Charlotte
Clementine- this is a fruit... i eat them...
Eleanor- old... haggy sounding...
Elisabeth
Elsabel- why add that E if it is going to be silent?
Elspeth- just sounds ugly- and looks like a typo!
Evelyn
Florentine- "yes waiter, i would like the tomato florentine..."
Georgia
Harper- Harper's bazaar magazine
Hazel- what happens if she has blue eyes? hazel with green eyes......
Imogen- my grandma had an old lady friend with this name... it always sounded haggish....
Isleen- you will always have people singing "come one isleen..."
Isabel
Ilsabel- why add the extra I????
Katherine
Leanora
Lorelai
Lucy- i love lucy... the tv show... red hair...
Madailein- WAY too odd spelling... no one will ever get it right
Magnolia- this is a stinky flower....
Meredith
Persephone- THIS IS AWFUL! sorry, but my LEAST favorite of them all!!!
Sadie- really way old fashioned...
Susanna
Violet
