I like Ariel, prn R-E-L, but I'm afraid people will just think of the mermaid. Maybe spelling it Arielle? I don't know... I know that people use it anyway and just put up with mispronunciation and the "under the sea" jokes, but it's got a pretty sound and meaning.

Gemma is a great name, imo. Nice meaning, nice sound, not too popular. I couldn't use it because my own name is Jessica, but it brings to mind a sweet girl. Nice alternative to the trendy Emma.

Darcie doesn't fit with those two! I like the other two. They're pretty. This has such an ugly sound to me, and it just reminds me of Pride and Prejudice, in which it was a surname. I know that it's a regular name, but I can't bring myself to like it for those reasons. Though I don't like it, I think the spelling Darcy is a little better. This one seems too nicnamey, though for what I don't know.

As for the rest of the names, as said, they fit except for Darcie. Nor isn't a name to me, it's like, "Neither, Nor." I love Iris, Violet, and Lyra, they sound very pretty. Your names are distinct yet simple. Hazel, Nyah, and Anouk are okay, and Noelle's good too. They do "go".
