Combos I've been thinking about - WDYT?

Just to make you aware, we love Biblical/Hebrew names and my DH is of a middle eastern background and so we have a middle eastern Ln and live in Australia. Thanks!

Overall, they're beautiful and well thought out. I think any of them would complement Jasper (particularly Yasmine).Faves:Yasmine Ruth -- As I said, I love Yasmine with Jasper although I'd prefer Yasmine Celeste or Yasmine Eliana.
Grace Aliyah -- I really like Grace as a fn here.
Mae Celeste
Mae Eliana -- Mae is my fave fn. It's stunningly simple.Max Barnaby -- This is so unexpected and handsome! Definitely my fave here.
Solomon Ari -- This is quite handsome too.

Girls:
Yasmine Ruth -- I love both names individually, but I think I'd prefer Ruth Yasmine. Ruth seems to age better than Yasmine does, and it makes a much more intriguing middle name choice.
Grace Aliyah -- No. Aliyah is a weird name to me. It's what we call someone who's moved to Israel; they've made aliyah by immigrating. It's less of a name and more of a thing.
Grace Adah -- I like both names very much, but together, they don't flow.
Mary Zahrah -- I think you're going to have some trouble with Zahrah, but Mary Zara is cool. Then again, you've got the issue of mispronouncing Zara and having matchy vowel sounds between Mary and Zara. Nahhh.
Mary Amara -- Too much /mar/ in the name.
Mae Celeste -- Nice! I kind of prefer Mary Celeste, though.
Mae Eliana -- Very pretty
Mae Hannah -- Ehhhh. Not a lot of sparkle to this one.
Daisy Ruth -- Daisy Ruth, while cute in theory, sounds a bit like a cow.
Poppy Ruth -- Cute, but sort of generic.
Eden Phoebe -- I really don't count Eden as an Old Testament name. I realize that its origins are there, but when I think of OT names, they're more of actual names. Eden has gotten so trendy so recently that I have some difficulty with putting it on par with names like Emmanuel, which is super strong and has a great history.

I love Daisy and Ruth separately! Ruth Daisy Someone might be nice, if you don't mind an extra name: Ruth Harriet Daisy or Daisy Ruth Eliana? Miriam Ruth or Ruth Miriam? Phoebe Eden Mary?Max Barnaby is a stand-out among your boy options. Or Barnaby Max ... or, indeed, Harry Barnabas or Barnabas Harry!

My favourites from your girls list are Yasmine Ruth and Grace Aliyah. My least favourites are Eden Phoebe, Rosie Hannah and all of the Mae combos. Jasper and Mae don't go well together at all in my opinion, and that spelling of May looks trendy.From the boys list I like Max Barnaby (although I do find Max a little nicknamey). Felix Benjamin would also go well Jasper. I find Harry very nicknamey as well, and would much prefer Henry Elijah or Henry Solomon. I find the names Moses and Solomon a bit 'heavy' to carry as first names, but are great as middle names.
