Alex (FN Alexandra)
Ariel
Astrid
Chris (FN Christina)
Charlie (FN Charlotte)
Edie
Beth (FN Elizabeth)
Ellis (FN Elizabeth?)
Emma
Emily
Jasmin
Judith
Juliette (NN possibly Jules)
Julianne (NN possibly Jules)
Randy / Randi (Miranda)
Samantha (Sam)

I am very happy to see that someone else likes Astrid. I love that name. I like Edie as a nickname for Edith, but it seems kind of "cute" as a full name- not very substantial.

Ariel is actually a male name (Ariel Sharon, for example), so for a girl I prefer Arielle. Ariel on a girl makes me think of the Little Mermaid anyway.

Beautiful Baby Girl Name

All of your choices are pretty. My vote would be for Ariel. It's just a gorgeous name with a beautiful sound to it and wonderful meaning. The most famous woman I know named Ariel is Ariel Durant. She was an award winning author and historian. The lead female in the film Footloose was named Ariel as is the teenage daughter in the tv series Medium. Ariel Winter is a well known child actress.
