My favourite -ine names are:
Apolline
Josephine
Seline
Seraphine
Celestine
Emmeline
Adeline
Aveline
EvelineI pronounce Ottilie inuitively french (oh-TEE-lee) because of the ending. If I would pronounce it in German, it would be Oh-TEE-lee-eh. (the last sound is a "Schwa"-sound, something between e and a.)Of your combos, I like:
Clara Lucienne
Araminta June
Beatrice Adele
Willow Margaret

SeraphineThere's also:
Evangeline
Valentine
Nadine
Melusine
Alverdine
Albertine
Alphonsine
Geraldine
Celestine
Celine
Katrine
Pauline
Ludivine
Laurentine
Augustine
Justine

VesperineAnd, pronounced the same but spelled differently:
Irene
Magdalene
Kathleen
Eileen
Marlene
Colene
Darlene
Arlene
Corinne
Evergreen
Selene
I don't usually like Georgia, but I think it's cool as a MN for Araminta or Beatrice.I like all the Beatrice and Willow ones. Beatrice Lauren in particular seemed surprisingly pleasant (since I'm usually not a fan of Lauren).
