Margaret Sophia is beautiful, but I prefer Meg to Maggie. Michelle and Ariella are both nmsaa, but I love Arianna as an alternative to Ariella. Emmeline Scarlett is nice too. I would vote for Margaret Sophia and Emmeline Scarlett together.
Rhys Owen is pretty nice, but I'm not crazy about Becket, and especially Desmond. I would personally advise using Rhienbeck as a mn. Aaron Rhienbeck would be quite handsome.

For two girls: Margaret (Maggie) Sophia & Emmeline Scarlett
For two boys: Rhys Owen & Desmond Becket
Boy and girl: Rhys Owen (or Desmond Becket) and Margaret Sophia.
I don't care for Rhienbeck as a fn, nor Michelle Ariella at all. I also love Ophelia and Persephone. If not as fn's then maybe as mn's?

I like Margaret Sophia (Maggie) and Rhys Owen best. I also like Emmeline Scarlett.Can I talk you into Sophia and Ariella if they're both girls? ;-) I love Ariella. I also like Margaret Sophia and Emmeline Scarlett paired together. I personally wouldn't use MichELLE AriELLa together due to repeated sounds.

My husband also likes the names Ophelia or Persephone, I think they are too old for little girls, What do you think?

I think "too old for little girls" is a silly thing to be concerned about, since little girls do not stay little girls for long and then they're adults for the rest of their lives.That said, they both seem quite fanciful and the lack of nickname possibilities for either makes them seem rather impractical on a person of any age. I could see either one as a middle name, though.

They are a little unusual for modern use, but both are beautiful. I'm sure their old feel could be softened by nicknames. Perhaps Lia or Leah and Oni? Or of course you could move them to the mn slot.

You could always come up with nicknames for them. Ophelia and Persephone are a little harder to come up with nicknames for, but if you're at a loss, just ask the good people here at BtN. You usually get great responses to stuff like that. ;)

I think they're great, but if you're worried that they're too bold of a choice, you could use them in the middle spot. Margaret Persephone and Emmeline Ophelia would sound nice.

I think your children won't be little girls for that long.Array

I love both.

Margaret Sophia(Maggie) & Michelle Ariella (Shelby)- I dislike both nick names. I do really like Margaret Sophia. Michelle Ariella doesn't flow particularly well.
or
Rhys Owen & Desmond Becket- I actually like this sibset very, very much!
or
Emmeline Scarlett & Rhienbeck (a family name)Aaron- I like both of these! I might prefer Aaron Rhienbeck.It's kind of neat that you have two different names for each scenario.

I like Margaret, Sophia, Michelle, Owen, Desmond, Beckett (only as mn, and only if it's a family name), Emmeline, Scarlett, Aaron, RhienbeckPrefer Aaron Rhienbeck to Rhienbeck Aaron.
Rhienbeck Aaron with x Beckett is too much Beck in my opinion.I really dislike Rhys.
Maggie and Shelby are cute.

I really like the first set best. Ariella is nms, but over all it goes nicely. I would not use Shelby as a nn though, especially since Maggie ends with -ie and Shelby with -y. Besides the m sounds work together and Michelle is short enough to not need a nickname.I like Rhys and Desmond for boys, but not the middle names.

I like Margaret Sophia and Michelle...with Ariella, there's too much "elle" but I think the flow nice and, surprisingly, it's not a tongue twister. I like Margaret & Michelle together. I love Rhys Owen & Desmond Becket (I like the spelling Beckett). Rhys & Desmond are really handsome names and go great for brothers.I like Emmeline Scarlett a lot - it's lovely. Rhienbeck Aaron (as is Aaron Rhienbeck) is nice too - great flow and interesting first name. I like these names together as siblings.

Margaret Sophia and Emmeline Scarlet are my two favorites, but I hate the nickname Maggie. I much prefer Margaux or Greta.
I dislike Michelle, and I love Ariella but prefer Ariel.
Rhys Owen is wonderful, I hate Desmond and Becket.
Rhienbeck should be a middle name, and I like Aaron.
