Fantasy OC - PC Names - Female

This modern name gathers some steam from the wildly popular Isabel.

Frilly but undeniably beautiful. The meaning of Mary is uncertain, but theories include "drop of the sea" (from Hebrew roots mar "drop" and yam "sea"); "bitter" (from Hebrew marah "bitterness"); and "beloved" (from the Egyptian root mr).

A pretty and little-known Spanish smoosh name, combining Maria with Celia.

Lilting and nearly unknown here, with the currently popular ella ending, makes a good Marissa alternative.

A pretty spin on Maria or Marissa.

Marietta would make for a classy and uncommon long form for cool nickname Etta.

Common transcription of Maria throughout Europe.

Foreign variations of Mary are definitely the way to go; this one has a nice Dutch-girl feel. It also works as a cultural crossover name, e.g. between European languages and Japanese.

Variant of Marilla

This obscure Margaret variation was a popular name in medieval Scotland and could make a truly distinctive, feminine choice today.

An elaboration of Marisa, a combination of Maria and Louisa. The meaning of Maria is uncertain, but theories include "drop of the sea" (from Hebrew roots mar "drop" and yam "sea"); "bitter" (from Hebrew marah "bitterness"); and "beloved" (from the Egyptian root mr).

Actress Hargitay made us notice this one, it makes a robust, energetic Slavic impression.
