You combos all have very nice flow, but I would not hyphenate the two middle names. Both my daughters have two middle names for honouring purposes and I thought about hyphenating but I'm glad I didn't, it seems more classic to me, which seems to be what you prefer as well.

A lot of thoughtful pairings! Nice list. I'm not quite sure what made some of the middle names get hyphens and others not, but I don't have a strong preference either way.
My favorites are:
Hester Louisa-Jane
Cora Genevieve Bronwyn
Molly Eleanor Gertrude
And they would be great sisters!
And for the boys:
Jory Oscar Sloan
Seamus Graeme Preston
If it existed, Albert John-Harvey would easily be my favorite.

Lose all the hyphens and we can talk. Some of the combos wuld be really very nice, but surely names get hyphenated so that they'll be used as a unit, like Sally-Anne or Mary-Jo or Jean-Pierre. And not even then - Christopher Robin wasn't hyphenated even when the fashion was at its height. Anyway, mns aren't used out loud except on ceremonial occasions like graduations and weddings. I just cannot see the point.

If the hyphens were taken out what do you think of the combos?

Here you go!
Girls:
Sarah Matilda-Catherine/ Matilda Catherine - I think Sarah Catherine Matilda flows better
Olivia Carra Esther - fine; I'd avoid the popularity of Olivia by using Esther Olivia Carra
Sophia/ Sofia Mary-Ethelyn/ Mary Ethelyn - I do find Ethelyn unfortunate, like a chemical compound. Frankly, I'd consider Sophia Mary Ethel, or even Sophia Ethel Marilyn.
Lily Anne-Isolde - fine
Abigail Natalia-Rose/ Natalia Rose Natalie is dated and Abigail is becoming so; Natalia is fine as a mn but I think Natalie would flow better. Or Rose Natalia Abigail? Rose is less predictable as a fn.
Claudia Arabelle-Brynn/ Arabelle Brynn - The -le tacked on to Arabel is purely decorative, and as a mn it doesn't show. Arabel Brynn sounds jerky for some reason - Arabel Claudia Brynn could be an improvement.
Brenna Caitlín-Ione - All honoring (Caitlín is pronounced Caht-leen, Ione is I-Own)- I really can't warm up to Brenna, like someone saying 'Brenda' through badly fitting false teeth. Caitlin is fine. Ione ... the only one I've ever known pronounces it i-OH-nee, which sounds much nicer; less avaricious.

Sarah Matilda-Catherine - I love Matilda but the rest I can't get excited by
Olivia Carra Esther - The three names are nice by themselves but when you say them they all run into each other.
Sophia/ Sofia Mary-Ethelyn - Sophia Mary Evelyn would be nice or Sophia Mary Ethel, but Ethelyn is just a bit crazy for my liking, if your going to use Ethelyn I think use it as a single middle name because it sounds like two names.
Lily Anne-Isolde - It sounds like it should be more Lily-Anne Isolde, that would make more sense
Abigail Natalia-Rose - Ok
Claudia Arabelle-Brynn - wow. Arabelle-Brynn is a really a mouthful, I wouldn't put these two together
Brenna Caitlín-Ione - This one kinda works
Hester Louisa-Jane - Hester & Louisa after each other are very hard to say Hester Louise-Jane would be easier
Darcy Louisa-Jane - This one is better, but Darcy is 100% boy to me. (In Australia its very popular for boys!)
Leah Adelaide-Grace - Nice
Shelby Adelaide-grace - Ok, but Shelby is really nms
Cora Genevieve Bronwyn - This one is probably the nicest, and it doesn't have a hyphen which is better
Freya Helena-Margaret - Freya & Helena dont work well next to each other
Olivia Carra Esther - The three names are nice by themselves but when you say them they all run into each other.
Sophia/ Sofia Mary-Ethelyn - Sophia Mary Evelyn would be nice or Sophia Mary Ethel, but Ethelyn is just a bit crazy for my liking, if your going to use Ethelyn I think use it as a single middle name because it sounds like two names.
