Audra & Helen These two names definitely stuck out to me. Audra is an underused, beautiful name, and great alternative to the much more popular Audra. Helen is another lovely name, that feels a bit more generational. Most Helen’s are 50+ in the USA.
Bishara Speaking of names that stand out, have you ever met a Bishara? It’s an Arabic name that means “good news”.
Cassandra, Audrey, and Elizabeth These are my three favorites names of the bunch. What can I say, I love beautiful, classic names.
Which of the contestant names do you like best?
I’m off to vacuum in my plastic tiara now 😉

Hahaha plastic tiara!
I agree with the names you selected out. How refreshing to see those names in the midst of trendy common ones.
I hope they didn’t get Miss Universe’s tiara from Claire’s like I did 😉
I’m always a sucker for Bridget 🙂
Charisse is pretty – reminds me of movie star Cyd Charisse. And Arielle is also lovely. I can definitely see a Charisse or Arielle in a tiara 😉
Bridget is such a great name, and not used nearly enough!
