Really loving Isaac these days. That name is full of wit to me.
Anafleur would make a weird, surprising middle name.
Sylvie is pretty.
Aura is a little dippy, to me. The Spanish pronunciation, OW-ra, is more fun.
Apphia seems like it should get more use from the conservative Christians who go for names like Maranatha, Jubilee, and Tirzah.
Nelia looks made up to me.
Marjolein & Marjolaine would sound more Americanized to me as mar-jo-LANE. I think they could definitely work for a little girl.

Isaac: Forgettable. Not bad but bland and tasteless.
Anafleur: Interesting. Worthy of a pause and some thought. Elaborate in a fun character way.
Sylvie: So cute and sparkly. I like.
Aura: The easier alternative to Aurora. I like.
Apphia: Ah, not my style. Prefer Ophelia.
Nelia: NMS. I'm not huge on the letter N.
Marjolein: Nah. I dislike Mar- names.

Isaac - good one
Anafleur/Annafleur - bah, I can't stand Anna, so I don't even like this one (though I like Fleur on its own)
Sylvie - Prefer Sylvia, my grandma's name
Aura - nice sounding word, but I can't see it as a name
Apphia - I first read this in my head without the f sound, i.e. like App+ia. Either way I don't like it.
Nelia - better than Apphia, but I'm still not a fan
Marjolein / Marjolaine - might work with an Anglicised/Americanised pronunciation, though I'm still reading it in my head in French. This name I like the most out of all these girls names.

Isaac is good, an Isaac will always be well-dressed.
No fan of the others. Marjolaine sounds like some rich French dish.

Ugh, I know the most well dressed Isaac.

Yeah, you've described Isaac better than I could. :)

Isaac - it used to be really high up on my list but I quickly got bored because of it's inability to stick in my mind, I find it a little too ordinary but still alright.
Anafleur / Annafleur - the first looks odd, to me it would look better if it were Anna-Fleur or Anna Fleur, otherwise it just looks like a bad mush.
Sylvie - cute, potential to become trendy.
Aura - Aurora's pretentious little sister.
Apphia - strange look and sound, not my bag.
Nelia - the same as above.
Marjolein / Marjolaine - and again. I don't see this being able to be "Americanised" to be honest, just somebody trying too hard to find a "cool" way to honour their great Aunt Marjorie.

Isaac is one of my favorite boy names. I think it's solid and not unheard of, but not dull, and has an interesting look visually.
Anafleur is lovely. My new favorite "Ana/Anna" name I would guess. It rolls off the tongue and it's delicate, but not overwhelmingly so.
Sylvie is cute and spunky.
Aura comes off as a bit new agey. It's pretty, but almost too much so.
Apphia nice enough, I want to say ay-FEE-uh though. Not sure how many issues with pronunciation there would be.
Nelia really really looks like NEEL-ee-uh to me. I don't really like it.
Marjolein is okay. I really don't like with the semi-Americanized pronunciation, but it's really pretty otherwise.

Isaac - I think it's okay, nothing special but okay. It has a nice sound to it.
Anafleur / Annafleur - I don't like this one. I dislike the name Anna and I don't like how Fleur sound even though it looks nice.
Sylvie - I think it looks nice, but I just don't like the sound of this name, it reminds me of a word in my native language.
Aura - It's okay. I like the meaning behind it.
Apphia - I really like Phia / Fia, I don't think it needs that Ap- in the start.
Nelia - Pretty. I like it.
Marjolen / Marjolaine - Not my kind of name, I'm not the fan of the "Marjo" sound, and the ending doesn't help at all.
