I voted Etta Pearl. I also like Elsie, Effie and Kitty Mae as informal names, but think they should be Elsa, Ephelda, and Katherine Mae for formal names. My great-aunt Effie was named Ephelda.......but I'm not sure if that's the usual formal name for Effie.

Desta Mae - sounds pretty

Kitty Mae - Kitty is nick nameish to me

Etta Pearl - okay but not a fan of two first names

Elsie - sounds like the pet name of a cow to me.

Effie - sounds like a nickname

Reva Pearl - like it. Reminds me of Reba

Allie Manda - Like it but Allie sounds like a nn

Beulah - nmsaa

Bythena - I prefer Blythe

I can't believe Etta is so popular? What's so attractive about it? Is it cuz it sounds like Emma? (I'm NOTTTT trying to be rude, just a curious question). When I saw that, the 1st thing that went thru my mind was "eat a pearl".

I like Elsie as a nn for Elsa or Elsabet, and Allie as a nn for anything that start in al, but the rest are nms.
