Rochelle (and combos)
Rochelle is a very recent, pretty much brand-new love of mine. It's not a name I've ever heard as a name, either in real life or fiction, until recently in the trailer for a TV show. I realized I thought this name sounded awesome - both in full, and with the nickname "Roch" (think RAWSH, not Roach, lol). Otherwise, my only association had been La Rochelle in France: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Rochelle
The problem is... a middle name. I can't find one I truly enjoy. I've juggled Rochelle Celeste, Rochelle Athena, Rochelle Andromeda, Rochelle Ivy, and Rochelle Fiona, but none are really "clicking." So I'm pretty stuck, and wondering if I need to look at perhaps a different type of middle altogether (something that's not mythological or "romantic").
Opinions welcome!

Love Rochelle, massively underappreciated where I live. I wish I ran into it more often. Very pretty and sophisticated. A fun, similar alternative to Rachel.
I like this name said as, “Raw-kehl” over “Raw-shell,” but either pronunciation is nice; Rochelle is a stunning name. I think that the nickname “Rocky” would be adorable for a tomboy! From your list, I love the middle names Athena and Fiona with Rochelle; I think that Rochelle Marissa, Rochelle Nancy, Rochelle Amber, and Rochelle Emma are nice!
Of the combos you proposed, I like:
Rochelle Selene (though I'd be pronouncing it si-LEEN, not si-LEE-nee as provided on BtN)
Rochelle Bianca
Rochelle Sarah
Rochelle Xanthe
Sabrina, Miranda, and Zoe are all separate names in my Top 10 already, but I do like Rochelle Zoe.
