Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Of the names you've listed I like Cassandra the best because it is more unique and polished sounding!.

The one I would eliminate first, Nathaniel, because, that's a boys name!.!.!.
Next I would take away Cassandra, because it doesn't sound that elegant to me but that might just be because I know someone named Cassandra and it just seems normal!?!? I guess!.!.!.
Annalissa is cool, yet, I still somehow find it stupid!.

So obviously the one I would most prefer is Elizabeth!. (And that's not just cause it's my middle name!)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm partial to "Elizabeth" too, mostly because it's also my middle name, but if you'd like it to be a bit more formal, try "Elisabeth" and "Lissie" for short!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
