Auden, Corin or Merryn? (for a girl)

Ok, I think my husband and I have it down to the above three for a girl, after much chaffing and changing-of-minds.

Just to clarify re gender suitability etc:

Auden is allegedly technically a boys' name but this doesn't bother us as it just seems waaaay more feminine than masculine.

Corin is unisex - according to the ONS, there were 9 boy Corins in 2012 and 8 girls. We aren't keen on Corinne or Corrine, due to pronunciation confusion.

Merryn - to me this sounds feminine, especially with the nn Merry (discounting the hobbit...)

Which is your preferred option? Ay other suggestions along similar lines? Middle name is likely to be Grace.

I like merryn.
I wanted a similar name for my ds but I think it's quite feminine.
He was an Xmas baby too, so I liked merry.
It's lovely for a little girl.

Ah, well that's because that is how you pronounce Corinne! If you really want your child to be called Corin (cor-in) then I guess you need to call them that, but then people will generally assume she is a boy, which might not bother you, but might bother her (or not). How about Coral, if it's the sound you like?

Aggggh I reckon I'll put Delphine back on the list - hardly anyone ever says they dislike that!

I think it's dreadful :o
