How do you feel about India, as you like Indie?

Not sure about Martha-emelia, everyone would just call her Martha. I really like Emelia though prefer Emilia personally,because there are so many possible nicknames with that spelling. But it's a lovely name either way.

I really don't like Scarlett Lacey Star...it sounds like a description. Sorry.

How about Mia, Clara,Arya,Lucy,Evangeline,Isola?

Isola is Spanish for island,so it's a more unusual option than Isla. Prn ih-so-la . The S isn't silent.
Arya is a Sanskrit name - Ah-ya or Ah-ree-ah.

How about:
Audrey, Clara, Claudia, Magda, Mila, Harriet, Violet, Juliet, Lena, Lainey, Wylda, Twyla, Estrella, Estelle/a, Stella, Sterenn, Etoile, Juno, Callisto, Ivy, Audrina, Ione, Beata?

I like Bella and Martha from the names you have mentioned
Seren is Welsh for star and is a pretty name. Willow, Cassandra[Cassie], Robin,
Serena/Selina, Ruth[unusual these days],Miriam, Merryn-so many to choose from...just make sure you have a boy's name on standby too :)

Congratulations!

Martha is lovely. I think it's my favourite girls' name.

Emelia will cause a few headaches, as it is neither Amelia nor Emilia and both of those names are far more popular than it is. If I were you, I'd plump for one or the other - both are very pretty and sound very similar.

Scarlet/Scarlett (I prefer the latter spelling due to Gone with the Wind) sounds quite pretty but I can't see beyond 'scar' when it's written down!

Lacey does sound very pretty but it seems rather insubstantial to me.

Star, I'm sorry, is just ridiculous. There are some lovely names that mean star or are associated with the night though: Seren, Esther, Stella, Layla. Star would make a nice middle name if if has a special meaning or sentiment to you and your family.

Marlow sounds like a boys' name to me.

Indie doesn't sound like a name to me but India does. Indiana and Indigo aren't names I'd pick myself but they're ones to consider if you like Indie.

Aubree is a boys' name to me too, properly written as Aubrey. Aubree is an awful Americanised trendy name that doesn't work well here. Audrey is fantastic though; it has a lovely and vintage feel!

I feel ambivalent towards Bella. It's overdone and a bit bland. Arabella, Isabella, Christabel, Belinda - they're all more interesting.

Names I'd add to your list:

Amélie, Amy, Angelica, Aurora, Camilla, Carys, Cecily, Celeste, Charlotte, Cleo, Dinah, Elise, Elodie, Elsa, Emmeline, Emily, Felicity, Gabriella, Giselle, Grace, Greta, Holly, Isadora, Juliet, Larissa, Laura, Liliana, Lily, Louisa, Lucia, Lucy, Luna, Lyra, Matilda (Tilly), Molly, Nancy, Poppy, Ruby, Sabrina, Sadie, Serena, Sophie, Tessa, Sylvie

Hiya thank u for the replys the star part of the name is bcos my mum asked me to put a bit of her name in her name is Stella. Meaning star . I love the other options of the meaning star and will suggest those to hubby tho he is so not for anything that I think is a nice name. I love the suggestions of seren ? How do u pronounce ? Seh ren ?
And estrella estella as close to my mums name n has the meaning . But I know he won't lol typical bloke wants English names etc I'm more adventourus (sp)
Iv totally gone of scarlett lacey star it was me throwing names at him n him actually saying yes to one.
Ps have a boys name I love so if its a boy id b happy x
