Very cool lists! My faves are Evren Charles, Blaise Makisig, and Victor Dakila and I also think they (or any combination of two) would sound great as brother.
Favorites from the female list are Eudora Buwan, Paulina Danao, and Matilde Amihan.
Only thing close to a negative comment I have is that Rodric Stirling sounds a lot more athletic and trendy than your other male choices.
Edit: Just read your description of the pronunciation of Marikit, it's really gorgeous. I think it would also work great as a middle name for Eudora or Matilde (if you don't mind alliteration).

Linnea Belraine and Victor Dakila are my top favorites from your list. Both names are fabulous. Linnea Belraine flows well and sounds elegantly feminine. Victor is handsome and strong. My only reservation with Dakila is that when I first look at it, I pronounce it similarly to tequila, but since it is in the middle name slot, I doubt it will be an issue.
I also liked the combos Sabrina Ulan, Vivian Marikit, Paulina Danao, Alondra Perlas and Evren Charles
Names from your list that I also liked: Caspain, Rodric, Justus and Gideon.
Laszlo is a nice name, but I had to say it repeatedly and look up the pronunciation before I could get a feel for it.
I dislike the sound of Dashiell. Usually, I like names that end with an 'L' like Ishmael, Michael, Daniel, Raphael, etc, but for some reason, Dashiell always comes across as slippery and pushy.

Of your boys, I really like Evren Charles, Dashiell Edward and Joah Prosper (all dashing!) and I also think Laszlo Josephus and Caspian Edgar are nice.
Of your girls, my favorites are Camille Reina (though I prefer the Reyna spelling)and Vivian Marikit (pronunciation?). I think Matilde Amihan (pronunciation?) is also nice.

Most of these are very nms, but I'd be happy to comment on flow/fit or whatever :) I'll organize into what I think is most usable and what isn't (imo, for America at least), if that matters at all to you.
Most usable (i.e. "normal-ish" - only referring to fn, as it doesn't matter if the mn is normal since that's not what kids go by... usually lol)
Evren Charles - flows well
Blaise Makisig* - eh, it does flow alright but something about it feels off. I added Makisig to btn for you btw!
Dashiell Edward - flows well, and I think it's quite classic and will age well
Hollis Malakas - flows well
Joah Prosper - this one sounds strange to me, like almost incomplete?
Victor Dakila - this one sounds strange too. Actually I think this one and the Joah one would be better switched around. Joah Dakila and Victor Prosper sound better imo
Roscoe Jove - Sounds like the name of a rockstar or a band lol, but flows well!
Caspian Edgar - something about this is off, in the same way as Joah Prosper
Gideon Seely - sounds good, flows well, I think it's the most 'normal' of all of them lol
Vivian Marikit - flows very well (also added Marikit to btn for you)
Camille Reina - eh, this one doesn't flow, sounds off
Nadine Mayumi - ditto
Adilette Reyna - flows well
Judine Mayari - flows very well (added Mayari to btn)
Paulina Danao - something sounds off
Melisande Tala - flows well but sounds incomplete

_Marked my own faves.
Evren Charles - I want to like Evren. I think I could, if only it were not unisex. As it is, I think I might prefer it as a girl name. Boys already have Evan, and Evren "sounds" relatively feminine to me. Still, this is OK.
Blaise Makisig* nms
Dashiell Edward - nms
Laszlo Josephus - nmsaa
Amzi Robert - nms
_Hollis Malakas - I like Hollis and this combo
Roque Alan - it's Rocky? I dunno. it's ok
Adlai Hollis - nms
Joah Prosper - nmsaa, aa, aa
_Victor Dakila - nice
Roscoe Jove - ok
Caspian Edgar - I kinda like Caspian. Even though I think it's cheesy, it's cheesy in a way that isn't a waste. Anyway, Cas is good.
Rodric Stirling - like it. Not sure how I feel about dropping the middle syllable there. OK I guess.
Justus Vance - alright
Gideon Seely - alright.
_Vivian Marikit - I like it.
Eudora Buwan - love Eudora
Leontine Prinsesa - nms
Camille Reina - ok
Nadine Mayumi - ok
Adilette Reyna - ok. Adilet is nicer IMO
_Judine Mayari - neat!
