It's time for a new contest!

Ten Female First Names in my Close Family, One is a Lie

source

My close family includes many people:

• My mother had 11 children and have 35 grandchildren. The number of her great grandchildren is even bigger. It changes every month, so I don't know the exact number.
• Both my parents were from a big family: 11 and 10 children, so I have more than 70 first cousins, and those have even more children.

My close family includes my parents, my grandparents, my siblings and their spouses, my children, my grandchildren, my first cousins and their spouses, and my nieces and nephews and their children.

This is a list of female first names. 9 are real first names on birth certificates from my close family, one is not.

There are 44 valid entries.

All first names have at least 2 entries.

If you think that you have the correct answer for the first name, if that would help you, it is still time, if you have powerful friends, to increase the $ value of the post!

UPDATE 2

On Tuesday October 24^th, at 12:00 noon Pacific Time, the $ value of this post as displayed on Steemit was $61.22.

The correct answer to 1 was Emma, that is in fact the most popular first name for girl in France in 2016 and 2017.

There were 7 answers for Emma and 2 of those were very close in the $ amount. @devduke guessed $60.20, $1.02 from the real amount, and @teamsteem guessed $62.00, only $0.78 from the real amount. So, @teamsteem is the winner of this contest.
