Let's Sort Some Names

Hello fellow berries! :slight_smile:
So I am writing an Episode story and to explain this as simply as possible, it involves a place called Inner [name_f]Earth[/name_f] which is, quite literally, another society inside [name_f]Earth[/name_f], much like ours, except that they know we exist but we don’t know they exist. The only difference is that they are governed by a [name_m]King[/name_m] and [name_f]Queen[/name_f]. What I have gone and done is made a list of names that either are real or made-up by me that sound like they would be found there in Inner [name_f]Earth[/name_f]. It’s kind of like a Victorian-style society, but with technology a touch more advanced than ours. Anyways, just say which of the following names sound best for this and sort them into Good, Neutral and Bad. Here’s the list:

Girls:
[name_f]Madrigal[/name_f] ([name_f]Madge[/name_f]-ree-gal)
[name_f]Eponine[/name_f] (Ep-oh-neen)
Mallione ([name_u]Mal[/name_u]-ee-oh-n)
Anavrin (Uh-nav-rin)
[name_f]Ailish[/name_f] (Ay-lish)
[name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] ([name_f]Air[/name_f]-uh-bell)
[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] (Marr-s-ull-een)
[name_f]Clemency[/name_f] ([name_u]Clem[/name_u]-in-see)
[name_f]Sidonie[/name_f] ([name_m]Sid[/name_m]-oh-nee)
Claristelle ([name_u]Clare[/name_u]-ist-elle)
Callabeth ([name_f]Calla[/name_f]-beth)
Stellabree ([name_f]Stella[/name_f]-bree)
[name_f]Lucette[/name_f] (Loo-s-et)
Marabie ([name_f]Mare[/name_f]-uh-bee)

Bad
[name_f]Eponine[/name_f] - I do like the name, but it’s still too [name_u]Les[/name_u] Miserables I think
Anavrin - it reminds me of medicine?
[name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] - it doesn’t fit with the other names
Pattereigh

Matterisk
Carlaw

Your made up names are mostly quite good, but I think if you use too many ‘mashups’ it starts looking rather silly - Claristelle + Stellabree + Eloralley + Aeralynn… do you see what I mean?
Aeralynn sounds nice, but it seems like one of those trendy names going on right now. And also seems popular in fiction shows, I’m quite sure there’s a character named that or similar in a current show.
