Freya Beverly - I love, love Freya. Beverly is interesting - a bit of a genre switch, but the name looks nice in print.
Eve Michelangela - Showstopper! I normally would've never considered such a long and gorgeous name as Michelangela in the middle name slot, but it makes sense when paired with a simple name like Eve.
Gwen Elsabeth - Gwen is cute, but Elsabeth (to me) looks like it's missing an 'i'.
Rose Elowen - Pretty! Elowen is an on-and-off favorite of mine.
Jane-Emily Robyn - I don't think Robyn is necessary here, as it is (to me) in a different genre than Jane and Emily. Jane Emily is not quite as "boring" as Emily Jane might be, but just as elegant.
Annabeth Constance - Not too crazy about "combination" names (Annabeth, Marianne, Rosemary, etc.), but Constance is lovely.
Mare Fiona - I can't get behind Mare as a name, if it's pronounced like "mair" - to me, it's a female horse. However, if it's Mah-ruh, then that's much better. I still think Máire / Moira Fiona, or Maura Fiona, would be better.
Sylvie Ursula - I would prefer Ursula Sylvie, but this is still lovely.
Eve Michelangela - Showstopper! I normally would've never considered such a long and gorgeous name as Michelangela in the middle name slot, but it makes sense when paired with a simple name like Eve.
