Wildcard suggestion
Everyone else has already suggested my first thoughts. I just wanted to add a wild-card option: Emerald, nn Merle.I was over at babynamegenie.com the other day. A parent to be was asking what others thought about Emerald as a name. Loving it, I clicked on that thread. Someone else responded with Merle as a nickname which I thought was kind of brilliant. It means "blackbird" which is neat in and of itself. But it could work really well for your character. It sort of sounds like Merlin. And Emerald has a magical quality to it, at least to my ears. Make those green eyes and you may be on to something. Good luck! :0)

Thank you for the suggestion, but I already have a character named Emerald and I don't like recycling names unless it is a common one! I was thinking her full name was Aurelia Desdemona Fey but she changed her name to Desdemona Blackard or Desdemona Morgana Blackard as her new full name!

Ah. I see. Sorry. I read too quickly. The Blackard must have subliminally given me the idea for blackbird. Desdemona Morgana is lovely. Morgana has grown on me lately, ever since the "Vikings" actress Morgane Polanski (plays Princess Gisela) appeared. Morgana is dark and mysterious, but alluring and romantic too.
