Alice-Lili - I don't think this works, because the "
Li" isn't its own syllable. It seems very contrived. Plus, I don't think
Alice needs a nickname.
Rose-Posy - I guess it kind of works, but I would see it as one of those nicknames that evolves over time, i.e. she gets called
Rosie, then Rosie-Posy, then
Posy. I would find it odd if it were a predetermined nickname. I also think
Posy would work better on a longer version of
Rose, such as
Rosemary or
Rosamund.
Caitlin-Kitty - This one I think works nicely.
Caitlin is the Irish form of
Catherine, and
Kitty is a nn for
Catherine, so it fits very well. I do hope you're pronounced
Caitlin as "KAHT-leen" though.
Rebecca-Bee - I don't think this works well. The sound "bee" isn't in
Rebecca. I would expect
Bee to be a nickname for a name that started with B, had a "bee" sound in it, or meant bee, like
Melissa. Then again, if you really, really love both names, I think it works enough to be used.
Amelia-Mimi - I think the nickname works well, but I personally hate
Mimi.
Amy,
Mia,
Lia, and even
Mel are much better nicknames for
Amelia IMO. But
Mimi does work.
