Barnaby Rupert: a tad pretentious, but Barnaby is rather interesting.
Archibald Edward: too historial fiction for me, but nice regardless.
Jasper Winston: best boys name on your list.
Frederick Charles: like this one too

Beatrice Rosamund: very pretty and medieval. My favourite of your girls' names.
Elspeth Marigold: princessy...like Elspeth, Marigold not as much
Cecilia Pearl: Cecilia's pretty, Pearl is nms.
Delphine Camilla: nice, I at first thought it was Daphne Camilla and I thought that rather charming.
Catherine Briony: I like this very much.
Lydia Elinor: very charming.

Jasper Winston, Frederick Charles, Beatrice Rosamund and Catherine Briony are my picks. As for Celeste, Cecilia Celeste is rather charming in an alliterate sort of way but I guess they are very similar.

Thanks! Though I adore it, I'm not so sure of Catherine Briony alongside her sister's name, Philomena. Do you think Catherine sounds too "normal" next to Philomena? Catherine would most likely go by Kitty or Cate.

Perhaps, Catherine is a tad common next to Philomena. But if you call her Mina most of the time, then I can see Kitty / Cate and Mina working out.
