I like a lot of the female names, just not in the combos they are in.
Eve Isobel: I like this but think it would flow better as Eva Isobel.
Eleanor May: Would be pretty as Eleanor Mae, but all I see is a 'mother may I' scenario when I see the name May in the middle name slot.
Matilda Florence
Hermione Rosalind Audrey (Matilda): This would have been better if they stopped at Hermione Rosalind. Adding the Audrey makes it look tacked on last minute, as I don't see them as similar in style.
Elysia Hazel
Elspeth Dorothy
Jack Robin

Ruby-Red and Rafferty Rocket... I have no words.
British BA's are generally much more interesting to me than American ones (at least from the areas I've lived in). More variety, both in first names and middle names.
Combos I liked:
Eve Isobel
Eleanor May
Hermione Rosalind Audrey
Clara Matilda
Frederick William Thomas
Hugo James
Edward David
Walter David Rupert
Agnes Constance Joan

I like:
Elonwy - but shouldn't it be spelled Eilonwy? I had a friend who read Lloyd Alexander's books and loved this name.
Lucinda
Barnaby - so wonderfully frumpy!
Oscar
Fern - but Fern Poppy sounds strange.
Vesta
Cressida Rose - cool!
Charlotte Mabel Ellesmere - wow, Ellesmere! Like the island!
Ophelia Sylvianne Fortune (Merlin, Lorcan, Hector) - a bit too much, but still...wow.
Elysia
Jemima
Primrose
Violette Martina
Louisa Rose de Maré (Sasha, Theodore)
Ottilie Florence Rose
Carlotta
Cordelia
Jasper
Aliette - cool!
Stanley
Marguerite
Alasdair
Sebastian
Humphrey - so totally wrong it's right.
Dmitri
Wystan
Arlo Finnian
Blargh:
Liberty
Coco
Ruby-Red
Erykah
Bunny - ickety ick!
Rex - dog's name.
Rafferty Rocket - sounds like a wrestler.
Bonham Arlandria - what the heck is this? Stockholm's biggest airport is called Arlanda, so this sounds like an airport to me. "We will land at Boham Arlandria in ten minutes, please fasten your seatbelts..."
FYI: Günseli apparently means "a stream of light" in Turkish. Nice!

I read "Ruby-Red Rocket." YIKES.
Tassia is interesting.
It's neat that Cressida seems to be getting some use - I noticed it on another BA list that was posted recently.
Jack Robin is super spiffy!
Conrad Alexander & Jasmine is just my style.
Marina Frances is nice.
Poppy Isla makes me think of eyes popping
Vesta - cool! though not the greatest combo with Lee.
