Edith Margot is terrific.
Margaux is phoney. A silly name, like to give to a cat.
Alice Idabel does look neat, but Idabel troubles me. Looks sort of like a babytalk/adenoidal version of Isabel. Iddabel, rather than Ida-bel. So Alice Isidora gmv. Except that you spelled it wrong. If you must spell Isidora wrong, then I vote for Alice Isabel.

Something not too fussy with Zelda, since Zelda itself is a nickname.

Jane Zelda

Edith Margot
Alice Idabel
Amelie Zelda - but I don't love it. Everything I try to pair with Zelda as the mn sounds better the other way around.

Edith Margaux; Margot always makes me think of maggot.

Alice Isadora

Edith Zelda

Edith Margaux, because it looks super awesome and classy and X is a cool letter to have in your name.
Alice Isabel, because I really don't like Idabel, and Isadora is a bit too frilly for me.

Beatrix Zelda
Cecilia Zelda
Emelie Zelda
Iris Zelda

Edith Margot and Alice Isadora. BTW, my ggm was named Ida Belle (went by both names) and my dd's new kitten is named Isidora Frost. :-)

Edith Margot is better, though I am personally not a fan of Margot. Alice Isabel would get my vote, love the name Alice. I like Mary Zelda and Lillie Zelda.

Not Alice Isabel!

---

... because it makes a phrase: Alice is a bell. (Bzzt, incorrect. She's a person!)

---

How are you saying Idabel? EYE-duh-bell or I-du-bell or something else?

---

I prefer Margot over Margaux, especially if you're not French (which you may be, I don't know.)

---

First names for Zelda:

---

Adeline Zelda
Coraline Zelda (love Coraline)
Esme Zelda

Edith Margot. The Margaux spelling is just too much for my personal taste.
Alice Isabel. I don't like Idabel (how is it pronounced ee-da-bel or eye-da-bell?) Alice Isadora feels too frilly, even though I usually prefer Isadora to Isabel.

---

Eveline Zelda :)

Whilst I prefer Margot over Margaux, Edith Margaux looks prettiest.
Alice Isabel. Alice Isadora is a bit of a mouthful.

Cecilia Zelda
Joanne Zelda
Hilary Zelda
Georgene Zelda
Joselyn Zelda
Eloise Zelda
Meredith Zelda
Linnet Zelda
Magdalen Zelda
Alanis Zelda
Rosaline Zelda
Naomi Zelda
Catharine Zelda
Geraldine Zelda
Christianne Zelda
Jacqueline Zelda

Edith Margot is gorgeous, with either spelling. I'd probably go for the simple spelling of Margot, ijust think it looks cleaner.

---

Alice isabel is my favourite from the second choices.

---

Edith Margot. Both names are on my PNL, Margot is within my top ten and I love it so much, but only this spelling. Margo would be next and I like Margaux the least.

---

Alice Isabel. Usually when there is an "a", I prefer the spelling Isabelle. My favourite is Isabella though that is a different name altogether, but I really like Isobel also.

---

Eleanor Zelda
Eloise Zelda
June Zelda
Lillian Zelda
Mary Zelda

Ohhh this is tough, I always, always prefer Margaux over Margot, but Edith Margaux looks wrong; too heavy, while Edith Margot seems sprightly and fresh. So, I'll go with that.

---

I really like Alice Isabel.

---

And, I'd say Ruby Zelda from your PNL. Jazz age beauty!

Of the two, Edith Margot, though I'd prefer Edith Margo to either one. Usually, I like extra letters, i.e., Susannah over Susanna and definitely Deborah to Debra, but something about Margaux puts me off, just seems pretentious and unnecessary.

---

Alice Idabel. I just dislike Idabel less than I dislike Isabel or Isadora.

Edith Margot. Don't like Margaux, it's so winey.
Alice Isabel, although the iss-iz part in the middle seems a little awkward. Alice Irena might be nice, or Alice Doriane.
I like Léonie Zelda. Ruby Zelda appeals too - very flashy, but in a good way.

I agree with Ninor: if you have French ancestry etc., then pick Margaux, otherwise Margot.

---

I like both Alice Isabel and Alice Isadora, but because Isadora often gets overshadowed by Isabella/Isabel, I'd choose Alice Isadora.

---

And finally some suggestions for a first name matching with Zelda:

---

Adeline Zelda
Audrey Zelda
Emmeline Zelda
Eveline Zelda
Lillian Zelda
Lucy Zelda
Mary Zelda
Ruby Zelda

If you have French ancestry or something like that, then Margaux. Otherwise Margot.

---

Alice Anna Isadora used to be one of my favorite combos, so naturally I'm voting for Alice Isadora, closely followed by Alice Isabel.

---

I think Zelda would need something fairly common/simple to balance it up, maybe Beatrice Zelda? Or Violet Zelda? I wouldn't use something ending in -a.
