Stand-out faves for me:Mabel Susannah - perfection!
Eleanor Blythe
Daisy Caroline - I'd probably go for Caroline Daisy
Beatrice Jane
Jane EloiseThe boys are trickier. Really only Gareth William as a combo, though I also like:
Morgan
Joseph
Benjamin
Conrad
Emrys
GregorOnly one possible problem, and maybe it's just me: Mercy Antoinette looks remarkably like 'Merci, Antoinette'. Otherwise, nice list!

Edith Caroline is great.
Eleanor Blythe, Olive Catherine, and Elsa Clementine are also well crafted.
Not thrilling about any of the boy combos, but none of them are bad. Laurence Asher would be my pick, I think.

Mabel Susannah - This is lovely. I don't even really like Mabel, but this combo is just so nice. Susannah is one of my favorite names. Susannah Mabel kinda works, huh? Louisa Bess - Oh I love this so much. I think you might have just made me a new favorite Louisa combo. Olive Catherine - I'm not in love with the flow. Olive isn't my favorite and I prefer Katherine. Eloise Pearl - I think Eloise is charming but Pearl just seems so naggy and nasal. Agnes Jewel - Agnes is really a great spunky name. Jewel is not. Edith Caroline - Edith isn't a favorite, but this combo is tasteful. A lady's name. Elsa Clementine - Hmm. I'd probably be excited to meet one in real life, but it's a bit too Hollywood for me to like for my own child. Eleanor Blythe - I like this. I forgot I liked Blythe! Daisy Caroline - I've never been crazy about Daisy (haha). It's sort of babyish and I feel like it'll be so dated to this time. I love Caroline, obvi. Emmeline Pearl - Oh Emmeline. I really, really love it. I wish Emily and Emma weren't so popular, even though I love them too. I've already expressed my feelings about Pearl. Frances Opal - I love Frances, but Opal, nope. Oaffish. Honor Catherine - Very nice. Beatrice Jane - Lovely. Jane Beatrice even more so. Iris Catherine - I like it but it doesn't make me swoon like, say, Louisa Bess or even Beatrice Jane. Jane Eloise - I am all about Jane lately, but I'm not loving it paired with Eloise. Junia Margaret - Junia. Hmm... I like June more I think. Margaret I love. Margaret Lily - I love Margaret but not Lily, which I find weak. Clementine Fay - Not really a fan. Mercy Antoinette - Yikes, this is too rich for my blood. Bess Olivia - It's fine in theory, but I don't love Bess as a first name and I don't love Olivia because it sounds like litter and liver. Ha. Opal Guinevere - no all around. Rose Cordelia - never have liked Rose. Cordelia is cool but dramatic, and really a lame character I think. Stella June - Never have liked Stella but this is a nice combo.

I like Alden, for whatever that's worth. Not "use it" like it, but I knew a little boy named it and thought it was really excellent as surname names go. It didn't hurt that his mom claimed it was a relative's surname.

My favorites are Margaret Lily and Iris Catherine. They're both gorgeous.I also like:
Emmeline Pearl (if you're using the -line pronunciation)
Honor Catherine, though I'd prefer Catherine Honor
Eleanor Blythe (don't care for Blythe but this is beautiful)
Junia Margaret
Evander Jude
Laurence Asher (prefer Asher Laurence)
Susannah
Caroline
Jane
Olivia
Rose
Elizabeth (Elizabeth Winter would be lovely but I'm really not a fan of Winter up front)
Nathaniel
William
Joseph
Benjamin (Benjamin Caius would be pretty awesome but I find Caius rather pretentious as a first name)
Leo (I'd really like Leo Emrys)
Matthias
