Mabel [Mae-Mae]: Not a fan of Mabel, but the nn is cute. // Mabel "Mae Mae" Clare
Stella: I like it, it's cute. Definitely underused. // Stella Vivian
Scarlett [Scout]: I love the name Scarlett, and Scout is cute. Although the nn is a bit far-fetched for the full. // Scarlett "Scout" Dejah
Clementine [Minnie]: Not a fan of Clementine, but I adore Minnie as a nn. // Clementine "Minnie" Hannah
Lucy: Super cute! // Lucy Jordan
Hadley [Haddie]: I like it, and I assume that it honors you? // Hadley "Haddie" Rhiannon
Posey (mn only): It's a cute middle. I agree that it doesn't work well as a first. // Elena Posey
Marlowe: I love seeing names like this on other people's children. // Marlowe Amber
Isla: Gorgeous name. // Isla Madeleine
Honora [Nora]: I love that the full name has meaning, with a very playful nn. // Honora "Nora" Brandy
Astrid: I love this name so much, my favourite from your list. // Astrid Natalie
Evangeline [Evie]: It's cute. I have a cousin named Evangeline who goes by Angie. // Evangeline "Evie" Felicia
Cordelia (mn only): It seems a bit old-lady-ish to me, but that's just my opinion. // Arielle Cordelia
Aurora [Rory]: I love the nickname, Aurora reminds me of the princess and I can't see it on anyone but the cartoon. // Aurora "Rory" Christine
Violet (mn only): It's cute, no complaints. Works great as a middle. // Taylor Violet
Calla: I love this name. I read a book where the mc's name was Callalily and went by Calla. // Calla Paige
Eden [Edie]: A nickname seems unnecessary since the full is so short, but do what you want. // Eden "Edie" Rachael
Rosemary: I prefer the simpler Rose, but Rosemary is also beautiful. // Rosemary Quinn

Thank you both for your input!
Mabel - its okay, I feel like most people don't care for Mabel. But I guess on the bright side at least I know it wont be too popular any time soon
Stella - I LOVE Stella Vivienne, its definitely on the list! <3 I like the other suggestions too but this one's my favorite combo.
Scarlett - Scout is a bit of a stretch. I saw it as a suggestion on a Nameberry FB post and it caught my eye.
Hadley - in a sense it honors me. It's been a favorite of mine for so long, its partially why its in my username (though its not actually my real name). I love Haddie though, and I adore Harriet as well, but Hadley's been sticking out to me a little more.
Isla - I do like Isla Madeleine, thanks.
Astrid - It does have a little more harsh of a sound, though as a whole I just love it.
Evangeline - I'm a little stuck on whether I'd use it or not. Not sure if the evangelical reference is too much.. but I can just see it as such a sweet name!
Cordelia - I do tend to love old lady names, I get that most people don't haha.
Aurora - I've been falling more for it since I met a grown woman in her 40's/50's sporting the name.. makes it feel more wearable. The only thing that makes me weary is how popular it is in my home state. My state is more popular than the country's average. :/
Eden - I also like Edith / Edie, but Mike likes Eden. It doesn't really NEED a nick name, I just love Edie in general and feel its a little too nick namey otherwise.

You and I are name twins!
The only ones I don't care for are:
Hadley (this one seems all boy to me. Prefer just Haddie or Hallie)
Honora (prefer just Nora)
Astrid (a little harsh sounding)
Rosemary (Though pretty, it is very old sounding. But, maybe only because I had a high school English teacher with this name, haha)
Scarlett (One of my favorite books is The Scarlet Letter, so I associate the name with the book. Couldn't use it personally, but I LOVE Scout. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. Sad day for me.)
LOVE the rest of them.
Stella Vivienne is on my list and teeters between my top and second name. Great list!
