HelpCombo Opinions?
*These names are for a fully hypothetical future child.
My boyfriend likes the combination Sarah Agatha Sophia or Sarah Agatha Sufiyah. They're something I had jokingly suggested because his last name starts with an S, thus making the initials SASS. Sarah is his favorite girls' name. I like it okay, but I'm not too keen on the sassy initials.
Today, I came up with the following combination as an alternative:
Seraphina Agatha Rose
I figured we could still use Sera / Sarah as a nickname. He was far from convinced. Still, I thought I would ask your thoughts on the combination, along with the others.
TL;DR:
So, what do you think of Seraphina Agatha Rose S___, Sarah Agatha Sophia S____, and Sarah Agatha Sufiyah S____?
Rank them. Give pros and cons. General thoughts. Whatever.

Current favorites:
Callum / Tristram / Benedict / Hamish
Cordelia / Winifred / Edith / Margaret
Vote on my name list? Pretty, please? http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/114016

I think Sufiyah is much more interesting than Sophia. And I actually prefer Sarah over Seraphina by a pretty big margin. Anyway, Seraphina with Agatha Sophia or Sufiyah is too much s-f-th-s-f for me to like. So, Sarah Agatha Sufiyah appeals to me the most. Even more to my taste would be Sara Agata Sufiyah.

Sophia is so popular and princessy. I think that's part of why I don't like Sarah Agatha Sophia. I'm not sold on Sufiyah though. But you know what? I like Sarah more than Seraphina too. I think my issue is that he agreed to Cordelia for a first girl, and I felt like Sarah was too...simple next to it. Seraphina is definitely longer and more unusual, but all along, I've still felt it's not right either. Like Sophia, it's too princessy. It's also smooth and elaborate, where Cordelia is clunky and has an earthy vibe to me. (Some of that comes down to color associations and chosen middle names though.)
But Kinola mentioned something, and now, I'm liking Sarah next to Cordelia a lot more. With Sarah Agatha Rose, it's got some old-fashioned/vintage, dusty charm to it, but Rose feels sleek at the same time and keeps it from being too dowdy. I'm not sure that makes any sense...Haha.

Not sure why people want to give their kids 2 to 3 middle names. But let's see...
I'm okay with Seraphina, but used as Seraphina Agatha Rose S____ makes the potential full name seem more than a mouthful. Why don't you shorten it to Sera, so then it'll be Sera Agatha Rose S____, and flow better?
Don't use the "Sufiyah" spelling; it'll make the name look trashy and lose appeal.

In some combinations, I prefer one middle name, but other times, I like two middles. Our agreed upon name for a first girl has two middles for honoring purposes, so I've been focusing more on two middles for potential sibsets just to match. I also think it gives names more character sometimes.
I actually prefer Sarah over Sera. Seraphina was just an idea I had to get to Sarah with a name that's less plain. I know that probably doesn't make much sense. That said, Sarah Agatha Rose is pretty nice too.
Sufiyah is an Arabic name. (My boyfriend is Muslim.) It's another spelling of Safiyyah. It's not meant to be a creative spelling of Sophia.
