Cordelia Belle (Cora)
Maeve Lola
Georgie Catherine
Ruby Adele
Darcy Catherine
Micah Louise

Wyatt Luca
Emmett Grey
Bennet Luca


Reasons behind some of the names:
-Lola after Lolita (which may be a twisted namesake, but it is my very favourite novel, and means the world to me.)
-Catherine after a friend who has entirely changed my life.
-Darcy after Pride and Prejudice's Mr. Darcy... a favourite of mine.
-Bennet after P&P's Bennet family.
-Wyatt after my grandfather

Micah is a boy's name and Darcy is blah.

Otherwise, I like most of these.

Georgie, also, would be better suited as a nickname. Georgia Catherine nn Georgie is much nicer, I think, and would grow up a lot better. Georgie would constantly sound like a 5-year-old.

I like most of these. I would change Georgie to Georgia or Georgina and have Georgie be a nn.

Ruby Adele is lovely.

I know a boy Darcy so it always seems like a boy name to me. Micah is definitely a boys name (do you like Mieke?)

I like all the boy names. Emmett Grey especially.

I'm not really sure why you're naming a girl after a male namesake. This happened to my sister (unisex name, too) and bothered her her whole life, trust me, don't do it. Micah is also a boy's name.

Other than that, I like most of these names, though some are NMS.

My female friend Taylor was named after a male namesake and she never cared.

I like Maeve, Catherine and Ruby, but I'm not too keen on your combinations, sorry! Micah is considered a boy's name, AFAIK.

Also, mixing names from different nationalities = major pet peeve
Emmett Grey, though, is lovely!!

Have to disagree with the above comments, Micah is definitely a unisex name to me, and I see it about 50/50 on boys and girls.

I'd also prefer Micah be preserved for male use. I'm not a fan of Maeve, but otherwise, these look pretty good. I love Cordelia.

I really dislike Micah used for a girl. Never seen that before myself. The rest are all really nice.
