Help[Opinions] Marcella, Paige & Zelda
Thoughts? Which is your favorite? Which is your least favorite? If you had to use one as a middle name for a combo, what would you come up with?

Zelda has such a Jazz Age vibe, but I always assume that it's short for Griselda, which is enough to put any thinking person off it for life. Sounds good, though.
Paige! With an i to make it more feminine and more of a name! Whoo-hoo! Plus, I know of a local woman, lateish 20s, whose fn is Paige, mn is Starry and ln, with some inevitability, is Knight. So I'll pass on that one.
Marcella appeals to me far more than Marcelle; probably because it's more Latin than French. Or just less frequent. For actual use, I don't think it's quite there, not in my life anyway.
So, Marcella and Zelda dead-heating at the top with Paige coming in third.
Joan Marcella Damaris
Emerald Zelda Diane

In middle school, there was a girl named Marcella in my class and I always thought she was really cool so I loved the name xD I also just loved any name I hadn't heard before at the point though. I think it's pretty and strong but I only like the mar-CHELL-ah pronunciation.
Paige feels very modern to me without being too trendy but I'm wondering if it's kind of dated now because it was pretty popular when I was growing up. I prefer it as a first name though.
Zelda is definitely my favorite! I was going to make a post later about names I was loving and Zelda was one of them ^.^ It's so spunky and yet mature sounding to me. My brother is a big video game nerd so I do think of The Legend of Zelda, however it's not the only thing I think of like with Elmo or Waldo or something that is so connected to a character it's all you can picture when you hear it. It also makes me think of Zelda Fitzgerald and Zerelda James (even though her name isn't even Zelda..?).
Marietta Zelda, Magdalene Zelda, Lorelei Zelda

My least favourite is Paige, and my favourite is Zelda, but I don't really like Marcella. It sounds like a mean girl name.
For some reason, Felicty Zelda came into my head, even though I really don't like Felicity. I think it's interesting though.
Charlotte Zelda
Mary Zelda
Wilhelmina Zelda
I think I like the clash of classic names with Zelda as a mn.

Marcella is my favourite with Paige as second favourite. I don't much like Zelda, even though I closely associate it with Princess Zelda from the Legend of Zelda video game series, a character I do in fact like.
I feel like any of the would work fine as middle names, though, even Zelda.

Rhona Paige
Clara Paige
Colleen Paige
Ariadne Marcella
Rowan Marcella
Colleen Marcella
Amber Marcella
Hazel Marcella
Carol Marcella
Rachel Marcella

Catherine Zelda
Irene Zelda
Colleen Zelda
Josephine Zelda

Marcella is in my top three for girls. I love it and hope to use it one day!
Zelda would be my second choice, and Paige would be last. I don't feel too strongly about either of these.
A favorite Marcella combo of mine at the moment is Marcella Jean Pleasance.
You wanted it as a middle name, correct? Let's see:
Jean Marcella
Alice Marcella
Joan Marcella
Winter Marcella
Carole Marcella
Katharine Marcella
Lola Marcella
Frances Marcella
Sylvie Marcella
