That must have taken much effort to collect. Most of these combos are nice but quite boring safe choices IMO.The ones I like best or find interesting: (I would use names marked with a asterisk)
Adrienne Minerva (not Sunny)
Fiadh Réaltán
Helena Esmé Seraphina
Arianwen Esme
Brynn Beryl - bit too heavy but I'm pleased someone used Beryl!
June Esther*
Keira Ursula
Lillian Marie - not "interesting" but still lovely
Magnolia Suzanne
Meredith Gertrude*
Scottie Jo - finally a nicknamey combo that isn't trendy and blandAbram Lev Rudolf
Alexander Donald Louis
Anthony David*
Arthur Wallace - so classic and aristocratic!
Cyrus
Emerson*
Everett Maxwell* - I'd call him by middle name
Huxley - I associate it with Aldous Huxley. The man was way ahead of his time.
Lassiter Dean - another quirky name I've never heard before. Is it after a surname?
Patrick Thomas - strong and timeless
Theodore Blake - same as with Lillian Marie

My opinions: BAs from my due date group (long)A lot of these are really nice names! And then ones that I don't prefer but don't outright hate. I'll comment on the ones that stood out to me the most, like others are doing. Ambrose "Rosie" – I love the name Ambrose and I think it's neat that someone gave it to a girl. I think it works and I don't think it's even that popular as a name overall for it to be like glaringly gendered. Brynn BerylBrynn is fine but when I see this I read it as "Brine Barrel" whoopsCalliope Jane – I think this is cute as heck. I like Calliope a lot but specifically it sounds a little like "Calamity Jane" which I think is a nice reference.Cora Lynn – Makes me feel like I could've been Coralyn? Or Carolyn? Or Caroline? Elke – It's unusual where I'm from and I like it. Ellisanne Sutton – So this looks like it could have been Ellis Anne Sutton? And I think it would look and sound better as two separate names? Also, I've only heard Sutton as a surname before.Harper James – I'm not the biggest fan of Harper, but I do love the use of James as a middle name. It's one of my favorite classic names. Ilyra Lucia – I really like this one for some reason. Good sounds. I'm pronouncing it as "ih-LEE-ruh" "LOO-shuh"MarleyRae Lee – I really dislike this one. It sounds like a country singer person?

I’m kind of surprised in that these aren’t bad overall. There are quite a lot of names I like. There are also quite a lot I don’t care for personally, but don’t find anything inherently wrong with. Some of the combinations don’t work for me for various reasons. I’ll just comment here and there where something I really like, or something I don’t, stands out to me. But first, congratulations on your new little bundle of joy; I think her name is lovely. :)Here goes...Ambrose "Rosie" - nope, nope, and never other than nope
Arlo Atlee - Sigh, I just can’t
Avery Kate - much prefer Avery on a boy
Brynn Beryl - feels abrupt, choppy
Charlotte Marjorie - don’t care for the “Char” / “Mar” rhyme
Ellisanne Sutton - none of this appeals to me, personally, but I can’t really argue that, as a combo, it doesn’t work, save the repeated “n” endings
Evelyn Audrey - aww, like the feel of these together
Everleigh Jolene - don’t mind Everly, but my eyes don’t like this spelling; ears don’t like the combo
Lyanna Diane - is fn pronunciation meant to be “ahna” rather than “Anna”? A Gilda Radner character comes to mind.
MarleyRae Lee - for me, neither visual, feel, or flow work here
Meredith Gertrude - gutsy choice! Wouldn’t pair these myself, but ok.
Moira Irene - love both but flow is off; would prefer Moira Dove to convey “peace”

Adria Christine: Adria just seems so incomplete. Much prefer Adriana or Adrienne.
Adrienne Minerva Sunny: That Minerva is ugly ugly ugly. And Sunny just seems stuck on randomly like an eye patch or a unicorn sticker that has nothing to do with anything. Love Adrienne.
Ambrose "Rosie": Just because you use a girly nn, doesn't make the name Ambrose a girls' name.
Annie Maxine: Sounds like Ellie Mae's glamorous cousin that didn't quite make it to Beverly Hills.
Arya Virginia: Are ya Virginia? No, I'm not.
Autumn Marie: I like this.
Brianna Estelle: This is really pretty.
Brynn Beryl: Brine barrel.
Calliope Jane: Somebody talked them out of Calamity Jane at the last minute, and it was a close thing.
Christina Rose: I'd definitely use this.
Elke: Kinda like an elk, you know. Elky.
Fiadh Réaltán: they let the two-year-old neighbor make this with alphabet blocks. I know it's probably some Irish name, but unless you live in Ireland and know how to say it, this is a jumble.
Katerina: This is beautiful.
Keira Ursula: Too many r's here.
Lillian Rose: Lily n Rose, the newest bathroom deodorizer spray.
Lyanna Diane: Nanna Roseanne Rosannadanna.
Mia Gina: Really bad rhythm here.
Minerva Victoria: Another damn Minerva. WHo would do this?
Moira Irene: What a mouthful.
Nandi Jane: Nandi sounds like baby-talk for your grandmother.
Nuria: Almost read this as nutria, which is a funny-looking otter-type thing that's a pest in this area.
Salem: This was Sabrina the Teenage Witch's smart-aleck cat. I can't see it on a person.
Scarlett Rose: Yeah, okay, we know, you like red.
Scottie Jo: It would be ridiculous on a boy, never mind a girl.
Tahlia Minerva: That is three Minervas here.
Thea Marie: Reminds me of the drink Tia Maria.
Virginia Rose: Well, it does sound like a plant, but at least it wasn't Virginia creeper.
Callum Jacques: a bit of culture clash here.
Castiel James: Like soap.
Cato James: Hard to think of Cato with a straight face.
Harry Oliver: Hairy all over.
Heath Matthew: Quit spitting on me!
James Allen: I'd use this.
Lassiter Dean: Call him Lassie?
Patrick Thomas: I'd use this.
Rayce Richard: Yeah, rayce him, but he'll probably cheat.
River Clifford: River Clipper.
Ronan Joseph: You can clal him Ro-Jo.
Timothy Phillip: I'd use this too.
Walter Chad: These two names are so wildly different in vibe it's like wearing one orthopedic shoe and one flip-flop.
Winston: Very hard to picture a person named this now. Good dog name.
