Voted! And now I'm baffled at how you come up with such gorgeous combinations (although Diana Charlotte has been one of my favorites for a long time - it's so lush and royal, almost too royal to use).
Alix Tatiana is amazing, and reminds me of the imperial family. Sylvie Natalia and Irina Melisande are like ballets to me, full of fairy creatures and woodlands. This could possibly be because the first ballet I saw, Sylvie, was danced by a Russian ballerina, Natalia something. The two just fit together in my mind. Irina Melisande seems a little more grown-up, the sophisticated older sister of Sylvie. But both gorgeous and ethereal.
French and Russian names always seem beautiful together - maybe it's because the Russian court was so French? I don't know...
But, I love Spanish and Irish together like some tribute to the Armada washing up on the coast. So I think Aisling Maria is stunning (although I dont get as heavy an Iberian vibe from this, because of how strongly Catholic a name Maria is). Connemara Ines is my second pick, completely unexpected in both the Spanish and Irish choices. Elena Mor caught my eye too, because of the stark simplicity of Mor and the elegance of Elena paired together.
Have you used Orla Consuelo before? It seems familiar. Beautiful, either way.
The Roman and German ones werent quite as interesting, I think because German people tend to use plenty of Romance names, so Julia Dagmar is a great combo, but not striking. I do love Beatrix Juno though!
Clare Shoshanna is breathtaking.

Wow. Thanks! So much thought you put into your response. I just went through my reasons for listing the categories in my response to Elena just below yours. Suffice it to say that we are on the same wave length. :0) I love how you describe the French / Russian combos. And yay! Someone else *gets* the name Mor. (I couldn't figure out how to make an accent going up over the "o.") I use it as a middle name only, like Angharad Mor. Stark simplicity is a perfect way to describe it. And yes, I've use Orla Consuelo many times before. It's so swoopy I can't let go of it, even if it's not the most popular combo out there.
Try making a poll yourself. There's nothing like having the ten (or twenty) boxes in front of you on the screen to sharpen the mind. Again, thanks for all the encouragement. it's much appreciated. :0)
