Ariel is actually primarily a boy's name. I know of an Ariel IRL who's a guy, but I've never met a girl called Ariel. And also there's the former Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon. Ariel is a Hebrew name meaning, "Lion of God" <---so that's at least two masculine nouns contained in that meaning. I don't know about Sari, because... well... it's a type of dress!. It's kinda like calling your kid Skirt, Kilt, or Evening Gown.

Caroline (Carly) and Mikaela would work (although the latter is more properly spelt as "Michaela"; variant of Michael, being Hebrew for "Who is like God?"). Caroline/Carolyn is a feminine variant of Charles, meaning "free man." Other names which I would recommend for girls would be:
* Carla. Another short form for Caroline. Carla was the name of Ethan Zachary's secretary as seen in "Pretender to the Throne."
* Miko. It can be a Slovakian variant of the name Michael. The name can also be of Japanese origin, whose meaning would vary depending on the Kanji in which it's written in, but one version could mean "beautiful child" (美子)
* Joan ("The Lord is merciful"). The archaeologist who discovered the Nemesis' Star Drive in "Microbots," and whose work drew the Decepticons' attention to search for the Heart of Cybertron.

I currently have two students in the same grade named Marcus. I also taught one of them in Year 7 last year, and he was quite chuffed when we were going through a story in Latin featuring a Roman character named Marcus, and especially the sentence, "marcus mille optimus est" ("Marcus is a great soldier").
