What do you think.....?

What do you think of these girl names? I want a pretty, feminine name with a European flare that will grow with my daughter. I don't want her to have issues regarding the name when she gets older.
Are there any issues I may be overlooking? (i.e. mispronounciation, spelling issues, too uncommon, foreign sounding, too popular, sounds like?, will have a nickname, too trendy, teasing issues such as Amelia Bedelia , etc.)
Lilia
Amelia
Sofia
Angelina
Anabella (Ah nah bella)
Thank your for your help.

Well, Amelia's getting hot because it sounds similar to Emily and Angelina's too associated with Ms. Jolie these days for my taste, but they're all good names. I especially like Anabella.

Has the top 5 names from various countries.. so you can see what sounds good around the world. :)
Good luck, you've got a great head start on cosmopolitan sounding names!
Think from your list Liliana is my favorite though, despite the popularity.
Best Wishes!
Leah
The name is Lilia not Liliana. Liliana is pretty but I foresee numerous misspelling errors and constant mispronounciation -- and I don't like the way Lily Anna (annuh) sounds --IMO LOL.
What do you think of Lilia? We do not want her called Lily -- only by her full name.
Amelia is getting popular, but it's beautiful, imo.
I also really like Angelina.
I like Lilia the best out of all your names. I like it because she can be called Lia/Leah if she wants. Leah is a very nice name that will grow with your child. I am not crazy about Amelia, but know a little girl named this who goes by Mia which is sweet. She is 10 years old and she hates her name, but does like Mia. I kmow too many dogs named Sofia/Sophia. Angelina is nmsaa. Anabella is nice, but will likely be pronounced Annabella by most, or she may be called Bella for short. I like Bella.
Good Luck, Brooke
Angelina reminds me of Angelina BAllerina, a cartoon and too cutesy imo
Anabella-definately European flare but a little too cutesy for me too. I like Amelia then Sofia, then Lilia, then Anabella and last Angelina.
