Sorry I misspelled Lorelei ... I had just been reading Gilmore Girls fanfictions so my brain just spelt it "Lorelai"
I agree with "Irish Mummy" it sounds like I watch too much tv!! lol
I meant to put Lorelei, sorry for the mix up!!

10 being best ...
Lorelai - 3/10 I actually love the name, and would have given it a 10 if properly spelled, but misspelling it -- especially in this way -- immediately makes me think the parents simply watch too much television. It's fine if you love Gilmore Girls, but you can still spell Lorelei correctly.
Estella - 9/10 Love it! I slightly prefer simply Estelle or Stella, but this is still a beautiful, classic option.
Gabrielle - 3/10 Less beautiful classic, more trendy, overused Gabby/Ellie name (both are popular nicknames). Not my style.
Isabella - 5/10 Ditto. The name is fine, but very overused at the moment. Simply Isobel would be a bit more interesting, or Isadora, if you're spunky enough (and you seem to be). ;)
Machaela - 1/10 Spelled Michaela, great! Misspelled Machaela, Makayla, McKaila, etc. ... not so much. Less classy and more illiterate in those cases.
Claire - 7/10 Lovely name. A bit common at the moment, especially as a middle name. Clara I would have rated a smidge higher, but 7's still not bad. ;)
Charlette - 1/10 I adore Charlotte, and it's relatively common but not quite to the point of being trendy or overused, so a nice balance. The Charlette misspelling brings it way down, however. Like you couldn't decide if you prefered Charlotte or Scarlett and got confused when filling out the birth certificate. I do love either of those, however!
Dakoda - 1/10 I'm assuming you're not Native American, because if you were using Dakota to honor your heritage you'd most likely know how to spell it. In that case, this is a very trendy, disrespectful choice for a name. One of those loaded WORDS people use as names for their children simply because they think they sound pretty or cool, with little to no thought as to the actual history or meaning.
Eliza - 9/10 Beautiful. Classic. Spunky. Great all-around. ;)
Brigid - 9/10 Love it, though many unfamiliar will simply assume it's "Bridget," so she'll be in for some corrections.

I like the names that are spelled correctly: Estella, Gabrielle, Isabella, Claire, Eliza, Brigid. I do not like the others, because they would be misspelled for the child's whole life. Lorelei is one of my favorite names. Dakoda and Macheala are my least favorites.

Lorelai - ok, not really my style
Estella - lovely
Gabrielle - nice
Isabella - gorgeous, so cute! It's one of my favourite names.
Machaela - don't like it, sorry
Claire - really nice and simple, but I would only use it if you have a longer last name
Charlette - ok, prefer Charlotte
Dakoda - don't like it, sorry
Eliza - LOVE it, such an underused name!
Brigid - don't like it, sorry
You have lots of great names there, I would choose Eliza or Isabella. Both of those would sound nice with the middle name Claire.
Hope that helps!

I love: Estella and Eliza.
I like: Gabriella, Isabella, and Claire.
I would like these if spelled RIGHT:
Charlette = Charlotte
Lorelai = Lorelei
Machaela = Michaela
Brigid - Bridget
I don't like Dakoda at all, it's spelled wrong and it's a boy name.
