I used to really like Patience, but lately I have a terrible personal association with it.
I really dislike Matilda. Willoughby is not masculine enough, not by a long shot. And I hate Phoebe.
I won't comment upon the honoring names as I am in favor of honoring and I'm not of the opinion that one must like a name to use it to honor or that an honoring name should be rejected because one does not like it.
But you know, if you call a Willoughby Will that makes it a lot better. I really like Will.

Patience, Matilda, Willoughby, and Phoebe together:
I wouldn't put Phoebe and Willoughby together because of their similar endings.
I think Patience is a bit random in this set. The other three 'fit' more style-wise. BUt it's not bad at all.
Patience Samantha Margaret - long and clunk and Patience Samantha does not flow at all as the s sounds run into each other awkwardly.
Matilda Catherine Judy - I think there is a real gift in making 3-name combos, and these ones don't click for me. They last name just feels like an unnecessary afterthought Matilda Catherine would be fine.
Willoughby Benjamin Patrick - the Bs are too close together in Willoughby Benjamin. I would like Willoughby Patrick Benjamin better and this would be my favourite combo in terms of flow and sound.
Phoebe Elisabeth Mary - Again, the E sounds are awkward together - almost like a stutter. Phoebe Lisbeth Mary could work.
Mattie is cute, I like it. I also really love Tilly or Tilde for a nickname for Matilda.
Will is fine, but way too boring for a Willoughby. I would call him Loughby or Willby.
Can't Phoebe have a nickname? I want to call her Phee or Phee "fee-o". :)

Very whimsical! I like them, although if I encountered them in real life part of me would think they sounded pretty uppity.

I like 'em. Only thing I would change is turning Matilda Catherine Judy into Matilda Catherine Judith; I like the flow better. I really like all the names, though!
And this is probably just me, but I think Pem would be an adorable nn for Phoebe Elizabeth Mary. I really dig those kinds of initial nicknames.

Patience Samantha Margaret: Patience is so Puritan and prissy. Margaret is dull and boring. Samantha sparkles and it's out of place and it seems a shame to jam it in between those two uglies.
Matilda Catherine Judy: Judy is cute, but it seems like an afterthought, stuck on the end there. Matilda is ugly and inexplicably trendy and hipster. Catherine is blah but unoffensive. Mattie sounds like a slave's name.
Willoughby Benjamin Patrick: Benjamin and Patrick are both great and sound nice together. Willoughby is so self-conscious William-is-too-popular. It also sounds funny paired with any middle name, like Will he/I be Benjamin Patrick. William definitely works better here, or even Wilson. Will is okay.
Phoebe Elisabeth Mary: Phoebe is a flaky, simpering, twittering name. Elisabeth is as boring as Elizabeth but more prone to misspellings. Mary is totally default. Together these three nothings add up to one huge fat nothing-at-all.
