Girls name which nicknames to Mark

I need a proper name for a character I've been working on. She is a tomboy and usually goes by 'Mark', but I haven't worked out what her full first name is.

Her middle name and surname are Elizabeth and Zimmermann. Any suggestions for the first name?

I like Marja Lark as a first name with the nn Mark. :P

Amarath Lark could also work. Though it does flow that well with Elizabeth Zimmerman.

What about Ana Marquette as a first name?

I think Marcella would be a nice frilly contrast from which to take the nn Mark... kinda like a Francesca going by Frankie or a Daniella going by Danny.

Carmel / Carmela
Marcela / Marcella
Marceline / Marcelina

Damaris Kay Elizabeth Zimmermann? (Must the mn be Elizabeth? Using Kay / Katharine / Keziah etc. opens up so many more possibilities)
Marni Kay Elizabeth Zimmermann?

Marketa?

I read a book once where the main female character was called Mark. She was called after her mother so she was Cordelia Mark II which became Mark II and then Mark. I thought and think Cordelia is prettier....

Michaela ?
Mackenzie ?
Mackenna ?

I don't like the first two much, but they all sound ok shortened to Mark, or I think so anyway.

I know a girl named Marquette (she's a tomboy too :P)
That could probably be shortened to Mark.

Also possibly Marika.

How about Marketa or perhaps Markita or Markina? Marcia, Marcy, Marcelle, Marcelline, or Marcellina might work, but Marketa, Markita, or Markina sound more like Mark, so I'd be more apt to use one of those three.

Maybe Marcia? Marcasite? Marketta?

I like Marcasite "Mark." What a fun name for a character!
