The reason I ask is because it was evening on 12/2 (U.S. Central Time) and still no one had posted this thread. It really seems like enthusiasm for it has waned considerably.
Of your combos, though:
Micah Samuel - Even though I've never been a Samuel fan, this flows well.
August Jack - Rather harsh and abrupt. I think Augustus Jack would have a better flow, or even August James if you still wanted to keep the middle simple. Or perhaps August Graham / Graeme?
Leo Zachariah - Visually this looks "off" to me, but I like the sound.
Harvey Jonah - Very retro, in an almost dated way.
Archie Thomas - Can't get behind Archie, personally, but this isn't objectionable.
Hugo Jonathan - Good, strong name.
Wilson Elijah - Wilson as a personal name makes me think of 2 things: the neighbor on Home Improvement, and the volleyball in Castaway. Because of these associations, I have difficulty taking it seriously as a first name. I like Elijah, though. In fact, depending on how you're pronouncing the first syllable, I think it would go well as a middle for Harvey.
Milo Ezekiel - This is another Latin-Hebrew combo, like Leo Zachariah, but I find this one both visually and aurally more appealing. Good name!
Asher Lincoln - Stodgy 19th century, sorry.
Thatcher Gray - Ditto.
Lilia Sinead - Good balance between a liquid first name and a strong, grounded middle.
Willow Sarah - I recall seeing this combo many times before, is it one of your mainstays? It's pretty, but very soft. If that's what you're going for, cool, but I can't help but feel like this combo could blow away in the breeze.
Sylvie Maya - Sure, both names have Ys, but I don't think they flow together well. I wouldn't pair Sylvie with another two-syllable name where the first syllable is stressed.
River Lily - This has the same flow problems as Sylvie Maya, with an added dose of hippie. :-P
Lydia Marlowe - This reads like a first & surname rather than a first & middle. If I encountered Lydia Marlowe ______ in the wild, I would assume Marlowe was the mother's maiden name.
