Like Isobel (same as my DSD)
What about Mirella or Marista if you like Marielle/Marissa?
Not keen on Coral/Sapphire/Ebony/Paige or hypenated names in general.
I shortlisted Ursula for my DD but suspect its a bit pretentious!
One name I've heard recently which I think is cute is Marnie.
My all time fave though is Beatrice ;-)

Isobel - lovely name and the best spelling imo but so popular if that matters.
Imogen - too pony club for my taste
Marielle - sounds a bit dated
Sophia - Very nice and classy
Amelia - Nice
Jasmine - Very nice
Marissa - Not keen
Coral - a betting shop
Hazel - it's a bit of a plain name imo
Nieve/Neave/Neeve - Naff spelling, Niamh is good
Poppy - To cutesy
Taryn - No, sounds like a boys name
Willow - Nice, not a name to be short and fat with though
Paige - Naff
Sapphire - Very naff
Ebony - Really bad, can I say chav
Lilly-Rose - hyphen names are a big no no

I like Sophia, Niamh and Jasmine best
