I can’t vote purely on which I like better or which suits the character better, since my concern with [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] would be that it already belongs to a literary character. Perhaps [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] or [name_f]Coral[/name_f] would work instead?

[name_f]Aurelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Corinna[/name_f]
[name_f]Astra[/name_f]
[name_f]Constance[/name_f]
[name_f]Carolina[/name_f]

I prefer [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] for your character

I like [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]!!

But other names that come to mind are:
[name_u]Fran[/name_u]
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u]
[name_u]Corey[/name_u]/[name_u]Cory[/name_u]

Good luck with your story!

I have to say I prefer [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]. [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] is pretty exclusive to the eponymous book by [name_u]Neil[/name_u] Gaiman. If I’m not mistaken, he decided to use it after he typed the name [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] wrong.
