New combos, WDYT?
The What Would You Name 8 Children thread got me thinking about some new combos I like. Some of them I came up with on the spot and don't have any strong feelings about. Other ones I thought of and have really grown to like them, what do you think? In order from my favorites to least favorite. Feel free to make suggestions! (also thanks to kudriashkajo for even putting some of these names on my radar!)
Theodora Hazel
Helena Plum
Linnea Maeve
Amelia Fern
Johanna Linnet
Oliver Reid
Bennett Sparrow
August Nathaniel
Abel Benjamin
Jackson Lachlan
Wyatt Felix
Gideon Hector
Leo Jett (Love Jett has a middle name but not with Leo so much)
Boy names, as I've mentioned are infinitely harder for me to think of something decent. Mix and match because I can't for the life of me figure out ones that I really really like (besides Oliver Reid, basically)

I really liek Theodora Hazel and Helena Plum.
In fact, I like your girls names as a whole.
Johanna is always lovely and Linnet is cute. I am a fan of natury names, so I like your middle placement for them.
Linnea is on my list if I have multiples ever ;)
The boys names don't flow as well for me, but they are pretty nice individually.
I might re-mix to the following:
Oliver Reid (nice as is)
Bennett Lachlan
Gideon Sparrow
Leo Nathaniel
Wyatt Benjamin
Abel Felix (though I prefer Felix as a first name)
Jackson Hector
August Reid
Oliver Jett
Boys are hard for me too. I can combo girls all day but once I find a decent guy combo it stays on the list forever.

Theodora Hazel - I can't make my mind up about Theodora. I used to really dislike it, but it is growing on me. Theodora does sound lovely with Hazel.
Helena Plum - to me Plum just makes names sound lovely and vintage. It gives great imagery. I like Helena anyway, but Helena Plum is brilliant
Linnea Maeve - I can't get on board the Linnea love. I like Maeve though
Amelia Fern - Fern really compliments Amelia. Amelia is becoming very popular here (though I still like it), Fern is unexpected and refreshing
Johanna Linnet - Really like Johanna. Dislike Linnet though I like this spelling
Oliver Reid - I like Oliver, not so sure on Reid
Bennett Sparrow - I like Bennett, but I prefer Benjamin and Benedict. Sparrow makes me think of pirates.
August Nathaniel - I really don't get the August love. I really dislike it. Though it is better than Augustus. I like Nathaniel
Abel Benjamin - nice
Jackson Lachlan - the endings are too similar. I dislike Jackson anyway. Jack Lachlan would be better. I like Lachlan.

I love Theodora Hazel and Linnea Maeve. The other girls names are pretty too, but I especially like these two.

Theodora Hazel --Theodora is so clunky. I really dislike it, and it drags Hazel (which I usually do like) down with it.
Helena Plum --Ooh, gorgeous. Though I don't think Plum is actually usable, even in the middle.
Linnea Maeve --I love Linnea and Maeve is nice too, but the combo is too "ay" heavy.
Amelia Fern --Amelia's beautiful. Fern is such an ugly sound. Fuuuurrrrrn. I don't get the appeal.
Johanna Linnet --Pretty, if a bit N-heavy. I'm not a fan of Linnet but this combo could grow on me.
I'd swap Plum and Maeve to get Linnea Plum and Helena Maeve. Johanna Plum would be sweet too.
Oliver Reid --Oliver is great! Reid is just a random surname to me, though, and I don't like how it runs into Oliver.
Bennett Sparrow --Kind of awesome, though like Plum, Sparrow isn't usable IMO.
August Nathaniel --Can't stand the "aug" sound but I love Nathaniel.
Abel Benjamin --Too much B. Abel Benjamin sounds like a stutter and/or someone describing an able guy named Benjamin.
Jackson Lachlan --Way too singsongy, and Jackson is SO overdone.
Helena Plum --Ooh, gorgeous. Though I don't think Plum is actually usable, even in the middle.
Linnea Maeve --I love Linnea and Maeve is nice too, but the combo is too "ay" heavy.
