I could buy Patience, Rufus, Ivor and Eliza as siblings.

---

For the individual names themselves:
Patience Daffodil - two word names in a row always sound weird to me, especially when one is a noun and one is a descriptor.

---

I love Rufus Benjamin.

---

Ivor is interesting, but it's very harsh to me. I prefer Ivan.

---

Periwinkle is kind of ridiculous sounding, I'm a fan of obscure flower names in the middle name spot but Periwinkle is silly.

---

Eliza Patience would be beautiful.

For ages I've been trying to figure out where the name Patience Daffodil was from. It stuck with me and I know that as much as I love Daffodil and Patience I didn't put them together. It's a wonderful name. :)

I think Patience, Rufus, and Eliza fit perfectly. Rufus could stand to have a more uncommon middle name. Ivor stands out to me and not in a good way. It just doesn't fit in my opinion.

Patience Daffodil - I love Patience, I really do. But I'm really not a fan of putting two word names together, especially such uncommon ones. Daffodil I might, might, be able to get behind as a middle name, but not for Patience. I think Patience Daphne or Pamela Daffodil would make better combos.

---

Rufus Benjamin - Not bad, not bad. Can't say I'm the biggest fan of Rufus, but Benjamin looks good with it.

---

Ivor Samuel - Strong combo. I really like it! Very handsome.

---

Eliza Periwinkle - I like Eliza, not too sure about Periwinkle. Seems a little too much, even for a middle name. Perhaps even juvenile. But then, Persimmon is a guilty pleasure for me, so who am I to judge?

I can roll with Patience Daffodil and Eliza Periwinkle, but I don't think the boys' names go with them at all. I think they'd need less traditional middle names to go with the girls as they're so striking.

I don't like them. They're too precious and twee for me.

Patience Daffodil seems to be a bit silly compared to the others. Patience Renee or Patience Violet would be a better combo imo.

I do like all the names, however, Ivor Samuel especially.
