My favourite is [name_f]Aria[/name_f]. I’m thinking about [name_m]Bach[/name_m] and pretty little liar, actually. It’s a pretty name. 
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] nn [name_f]Arrie[/name_f], maybe? Next choices: [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u].
I’ll delete: [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], [name_u]Parker[/name_u], [name_f]Atlee[/name_f], [name_f]Cambria[/name_f].
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] - I actually think this goes beautifully with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]. They both have a frosty celebratory quality.
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] - I don’t mind it actually. It’s getting popular, but it’s a pretty name. [name_f]Aria[/name_f] nn [name_f]Arrie[/name_f] would be a great compromise I think
[name_f]Mia[/name_f] - okay, very popular and not really my cup of tea, but it’s perfectly nice
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] - If it’s really [name_f]Millie[/name_f] that you like there are a ton of names you can use [name_f]Millie[/name_f] as a nn for. [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] for example you could use [name_f]Millie[/name_f] or [name_f]Mia[/name_f]; same with [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] or [name_f]Milena[/name_f]
[name_f]Cambria[/name_f] - this is okay, it’s definitely trendy and makes me think primarily of the city, but it’s a pleasant sounding name.
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] - I know a teenager named [name_u]Marlow[/name_u] and it fits her well. It’s a nice name. I prefer [name_f]Margo[/name_f], but [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] is okay.
Bless - a great mn but hard to imagine as a flexible and easy to wear first name.
[name_f]Arrie[/name_f] - It’s okay, it does feel very much like a nn though
[name_f]Atlee[/name_f] - again it sounds like a nn, maybe for [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] or Ataliah, it’s okay, just doesn’t feel like a full name.
considering that, maybe you’ll like Ataliah or [name_f]Camilla[/name_f]
Personally, I would take away [name_f]Arrie[/name_f], [name_f]Atlee[/name_f], Amerlyn and [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f]. Adding lee to the end of names is annoying. What is wrong with [name_f]Brynn[/name_f]? I love [name_f]Brynn[/name_f]! My vote was for [name_f]Cambria[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Bree[/name_f] names! [name_f]Cambria[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] sounds magical!
[name_f]Cambria[/name_f] is an ancient name for [name_m]Wales[/name_m] though, so how about [name_f]Caledonia[/name_f] instead?
Hey, the closer your due date means your list should be decreasing in size not increasing! I have bolded the ones to keep. I have to admit it was easy for me to eliminate all of the names that I did and get it down to four.
(1) [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] – I like the literary connection but it’s trendy so I don’t know how long it will remain under wraps for the general population.
(2) Bless – better in the middle spot. The Pope blesses people so it’s a strange word for a name.
(3) [name_f]Arrie[/name_f] – lacks substance and looks like [name_m]Harry[/name_m] without the “H”.
(4) Amerlyn – Adding a “lyn” to the end of anything is not attractive. These names are a dime a dozen. I’m afraid the trend bores me.
(5) [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]– Gorgeous and underused gem. [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is fine (heavenly [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]). I don’t know what your surname is so I can’t judge how abrupt the combo would be.
(6) [name_f]Aria[/name_f] – this names fits your criteria of feminine and beautiful but it’s very trendy. Personally, I think it’s best left to the opera world but it’s a favourite for many Berries here. Since music is important for you, I will keep it in contention.
(7) [name_f]Atlee[/name_f] – cutesy and trendy sounding with the “lee” ending.
(8) [name_f]Mia[/name_f] – overused and flighty.
(9) [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f] – Trend alert. Proceed with caution. “Br” names are all the rage and most are terrible.
(10) [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] – A lovely underused vintage gem and the nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f] is cute.
(11) [name_f]Cambria[/name_f] – too much like the car name. OK if you have Welsh ancestry.
(12) [name_u]Parker[/name_u] – [name_m]Park[/name_m] her? Neither feminine or beautiful in my opinion.
(13) [name_u]Aspen[/name_u] – reminds me of a snake (asp) and I can’t stand snakes. A trendy place name. It doesn’t fit your criteria of feminine and beautiful either.
4 takeaways:
Bless - I prefer more subtlety in word names, and this one doesn’t really sound like a name at all.
Amerlyn - i just hate the sound of this one, sorry!
[name_f]Brynlee[/name_f] - see Amerlyn.
[name_f]Cambria[/name_f] - makes me think of [name_f]Italy[/name_f] and umbros–remember those?
The rest:
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] – I like this. Feels sleek and sophisticated.
[name_f]Arrie[/name_f] – this is cute, and i like the family connection. I just might like it more as a nickname, say for [name_f]Aria[/name_f]…? spelled [name_u]Arie[/name_u] maybe?
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]-- pretty.
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] – I love the name. Game of Thrones is actually [name_u]Arya[/name_u], which I prefer. [name_f]Aria[/name_f] just reminds me of the opera and every crossword puzzle I’ve ever done (who’s with me?). [name_f]Aria[/name_f] is a bit trendy, but if you have a background in music, i guess this spelling makes more sense for you.
[name_f]Atlee[/name_f] – this is cute if you’re going for out there! i like the sound better than the spelling.
[name_f]Mia[/name_f] – cute.
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] – pretty, sophisticated with a cute, sweet nickname.
[name_u]Parker[/name_u] – I actually like this on a girl. I’m a fan of [name_u]Parker[/name_u] [name_f]Posey[/name_f], and a close friend has a beautiful spunky daughter with this name.
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u] – pretty enough for a nature name. I like it.
[name_m]Add[/name_m] one:
[name_f]Eliora[/name_f]
I would take away [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f], [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], [name_f]Atlee[/name_f], and [name_u]Parker[/name_u].
[name_m]Add[/name_m]:
[name_f]Melody[/name_f]- I love this name! It’s musical like [name_f]Aria[/name_f] (my favorite from your list) and it’s beautiful and feminine.
Good flow:
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] - nms but I think it’s ok though I don’t know if it flows well with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] because of the repeated oh sound
Bless - it’s cute, but not sure if it would work on an adult. What about [name_f]Bess[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f] or [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]?
[name_f]Arrie[/name_f] - I really like this and I think it could work as a full name but I like the suggestion of having it as a nickname for [name_f]Aria[/name_f], as well as [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
Amerlyn - I personally don’t really like the letter y for some reason and I don’t really like the sound either but if it has a lot of meaning for you then use it
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] - really pretty name and it sort of flows with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] - trendy but popular for a good reason, it’s a pretty name
[name_f]Atlee[/name_f] - all I can think of is British prime minister [name_m]Clement[/name_m] Attlee but that’s probably just me!
[name_f]Mia[/name_f] - again, a pretty name and I think it flows well with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Brynlee[/name_f] - to me I can only think of [name_u]Bryn[/name_u] as a boys name and not a fan of ‘lee’ added onto the end of names
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] - a nice strong but also feminine name and nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f] is cute
[name_f]Cambria[/name_f] - as it’s another name for [name_m]Wales[/name_m] if you have a Welsh connection it might be a nice way to honour that (and it flows with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f])
[name_u]Parker[/name_u] - very masculine
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u] - nice name but it ends with an n so I don’t really like how it sounds with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] (Aspenoelle)
I’m not very good at suggestions but maybe [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]? you seem to like [name_m]French[/name_m] names ([name_f]Noelle[/name_f], [name_f]Celeste[/name_f])
The only ones I say to keep are [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_f]Cambria[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Aria[/name_f] and [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u]. The rest are no gos.
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] - eh
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]
[name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] - okay
[name_f]Cambria[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovey[/name_f]
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] - okay
I’m not going to add one, though. If your due date is quickly approaching you probably shouldn’t add any other names to your already lengthy list. You don’t want to confuse yourself even more
(1) [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] – love [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] BUT don’t like how it sounds with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] unfortunately…
(2) Bless – also don’t like how this sounds with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]…
(3) [name_f]Arrie[/name_f] – I’ve always loved [name_f]Arrie[/name_f]/[name_u]Ari[/name_u], I think you’re best bet is to use this as a nickname for [name_f]Aria[/name_f]!
(4) Amerlyn – not a fan sorry, and don’t like how it sounds with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f].
(5) [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]-- I love the idea of [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] in a combo together, makes me think of a crisp winter night, sky full of stars [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] does sound kind of abrupt to me though. Perhaps [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], or even [name_f]Noelia[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]?? [name_f]Noelia[/name_f] is the Spanish variation of [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] and I think it’s lovely, [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] would be a cute nickname.
(6) [name_f]Aria[/name_f] – [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is gorgeous! Feminine and beautiful AND nickname [name_f]Arrie[/name_f] honors your great great grandma, love this for you!
(7) [name_f]Atlee[/name_f] – [name_f]Atlee[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] has a nice flow, but really don’t like this name sorry. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]? [name_f]Isla[/name_f] is apparently the name of a Scottish river
(8) [name_f]Mia[/name_f] – [name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] has a nice flow, I like this one a lot.
(9) [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f] – [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] works well as a combo, but I think [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f] sounds more girly and cute than feminine and beautiful…
(10) [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] – love [name_f]Millie[/name_f]! What about [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] instead? You still get [name_f]Millie[/name_f], but I think this combo has a better flow and [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] just sounds nicer than [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] in my opinion.
(11) [name_f]Cambria[/name_f] – [name_f]Cambria[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] works well, I could take this or leave it though, it’s nice but not my favorite.
(12) [name_u]Parker[/name_u] – makes me think of [name_u]Parker[/name_u] [name_f]Posey[/name_f]. I actually don’t mind it on a girl, but if beautiful and feminine is what you’re after I’d keep looking.
(13) [name_u]Aspen[/name_u] – really like [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], but not with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]… [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]? [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] has the same wintery, naturey vibe I get from [name_u]Aspen[/name_u].

[name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] ([name_f]Millie[/name_f])
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
I agree with [name_f]Apollonia[/name_f]'s assessment, except I would put [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] on the good-flow and [name_u]Aspen[/name_u] on the Not-as-good flow list.
In the poll, I voted for [name_f]Arrie[/name_f] and [name_f]Aria[/name_f] - I like that [name_f]Arrie[/name_f] is a family name and I think that [name_f]Aria[/name_f] sounds the very best of all your names with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] in the middle. [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] is my favorite name from your list, but I agree that the flow is a bit off. According to my personal tastes, I would knock out [name_f]Atlee[/name_f] (it feels very harsh), Bless & [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] (they just really clashes with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] to me), [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f].
You may like [name_f]Bryony[/name_f], [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f], [name_f]Verity[/name_f], or [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
While I love the name [name_f]Aria[/name_f], I feel it is getting very popular. I know 3 [name_f]Aria[/name_f]'s born within the last year, all of whom live in like a ten mile radius. I don’t know if this would be a big concern for you, but it is enough for me to stay away from the name.
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] = Definitely underused, but a great name. My favorite from your list by far.
My 4 takeaways are [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f], Amerlyn, Bless and [name_f]Atlee[/name_f]. None of them do anything for me.
What about [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]? That seems in line with [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] and [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], but feels a touch more modern.
Best of luck
My favorites:
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f]
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f]
I’d like to suggest [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] (underused, romantic) and [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] (one of my favorite Scottish names)
The four that I would remove from the list: [name_u]Parker[/name_u], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_f]Atlee[/name_f], [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f]
[name_m]Add[/name_m]: [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
Take away:
Bless
Atless
[name_f]Brynlee[/name_f]
Amerlyn
You are absolutely right, Raptreverie. Corrections made.
I love aria, [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], and [name_f]Millicent[/name_f]. Bless [name_u]Noel[/name_u] doesn’t sound quite right, and marlowe sounds very masculine to me.
