Where did you get Bricole from? Reminds me of the French word bricoler (tinkering).

do you know who Colin Quinn is?
He's a comedian and used to be a comentator on ESPN. I don't know if he still is, I seem to remember he ran his mouth too much and offended a lot of people and lost his gig.
Bricole is awful. It sounds like some kind of brand name for charcoal briquettes.

He was on SNL, and is Amy Schumer's father in Trainwrecked. He used to do the Weekend Updates. Are we the only ones who caught that?

Ha! I know a Whitney and Ezra who are mother and son. Anyway...
I don't know what Bricole is (is it a smoosh of Brian and Nicole?) , or if "Bri" is BREE or BRIE, so anything with Bricole is going to get my vote for least favorite. I guess "Quinn and Colin" is my favorite couple name.
TBH, based on names alone, I want Colin and Alistair to ditch the girls and run away together.

They're all fine except Bricole. It's awful.

First thought. What the hell is Bricole. It's terrible. Don't name your character Bricole, the reader will just be trying to figure why the hell someone is named Bricole through the whole thing.
Phoebe and Alistair - I am guessing these characters are English? I'd expect anyone over 5 with either of these names to be British.
Quinn and Colin - These seem to be very similar in style, I'd expect Colin & Quinn to be brothers not a couple. Also are they a same sex couple? If not I'd avoid using a unisex name as it may be confusing.
Bricole 'Bri' and Michael - I've already said above what I think of Bricole. Breanne and Michael would be totally believable for a couple.
Whitney and Ezra - The most believable of the couple names, since in real life I've found it tends to be one person with a completely normal name for their age group and one person with an unusual name.

Phoebe and Alistair are interesting, but sound a bit fictional.
Quinn and Colin seem realistic.
Bricole ... too distracting. Brielle, maybe, and Michael.
Whitney and Ezra seem unlikely, as Whitney is virtually guaranteed to have been born in the 80s / 90s, and Ezra was unheard of as a baby name then. So they seem very May-December, one way or another.
