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.
Rosie Moriah -- Very pretty.
Rosie Hannah -- Less so. The rhythm is dull.

Boys:
Max Barnaby -- I cannot understand the appeal behind Barnaby. It is so fusty and nerdy. Max is great.
Moses Aaron -- Too themey.
Felix Benjamin -- Fabulous! I love the flow and the strength behind each name, and Felix is so unique.
Solomon Lior -- I love this.
Solomon Ari -- Same.
Gideon Zed -- Ehhhhh. Zed is a letter of the alphabet. I like the balls-to-the-wall full version Zedekiah.
Harry Solomon -- Very nice. He seems like he'd be a nice guy.
Harry Elijah -- Love it.
Harry Moses -- I can't really get on board with Moses so much. I know a Moses and it just always feels like an awkward name to carry. I think your other Harry combos are better.
