Susannah Ruth - Never been a fan of Susannah, and I really dislike Ruth, so this combo really isn't my style at all. I'm probably not the best person to ask.
Alice Virginia - Very classic, and looks nice on paper.
Charlotte Sophia - I like both names, and they sound nice together, but I wonder if Charlotte Sofia would look better (the 'ph' in Sophia with the soft 'ch' in Charlotte bothers me, for some reason).
Margaret Ellen - I saw your post about this earlier, and though I find both names dated and would never consider using either, seeing them together is just so... cute!
Anne Magdalene - Gorgeous.
Elinor Frances - Beautiful! And while I, too, love the Jane Austen spelling of Elinor, I wonder if Eleanor Frances would look better...?
Katherine - Poor Katherine doesn't get a middle name? (Just teasing.) I find this spelling a bit... well, boring, even though it's the default. I prefer Katharine and Katharyn.
Dorothy Ada - Really dated, and I don't think it's as charming as Margaret Ellen. I've also always disliked Dorothy (Theodora is much better, imo).
Elizabeth Joan - Ruth, Dorothy, and Joan are three "old-fashioned" names that I've always found harsh. Elizabeth is okay, safe, though I think trading the 'z' for an 's' (Elisabeth) rejuvenates it.
