HelpAsherah and Montserrat
Recently I've begun to love these as sibling's names. They're totally different, but somehow just work together. Plus, I love the meaning of Asherah... "she who walks in the sea" is just too cool. Anyway, are they usable? Here are some combos I came up with. Any other suggestions are totally welcome.
Asherah Gwen (usually I prefer Guinevere but Gwen flows more nicely)
Asherah Josephine
Asherah Juliet
Asherah Katherine
Asherah Madeline (LINE not LYN)
Asherah Vivian
Montserrat Anouk (love this one)
Montserrat Eliza
Montserrat Ginevra
Montserrat Iona
Montserrat Kerensa
Montserrat Lavinia
Montserrat Linnea
Also, can you think of any nn's other than Ash or Cher for Asherah and Sarah for Montserrat?

Asherah is very pretty. Of your combos, I especially like Asherah Madeline/ Madeleine. Ash or Asha would be nice nicknames.
I can't see Montserrat as a very usable name, unfortunately. It's just too strongly a place name (like naming someone Mount Everest, just in a different language).
As alternatives, some of your mn suggestions, like Anouk or Lavinia, would make a good sibset with Asherah.

Hmmm... Asherah is actually really nice. At first I thought it was like Asher with -ah tacked on to make it look more feminine, but now it's totally growing on me! I'd want to pronounce it ah-SHARE-uh, though, not uh-SHAY-ra or whatever it says in the comments. Any name with the "shay" sound doesn't work for me, considering what my name is. I like Asherah Juliet best, with Cher as a nn.
As for Montserrat... ♥ I've been in love with this name for quite a while now, I think it's gorgeous. I don't mind Sarah as a nn, but I'd personally spell it Serra. Monty could be another (infrequently used) nn for fun. As for the combos... they're all nice, but I've always perfered to pair Catalan names with other Catalan names. Anais Montserrat is my favorite, but having it the other way around is good as well.
Montserrat Anais
Montserrat Clara
Montserrat Caterina
Montserrat Joana (zhoo-AH-nuh)
Montserrat Laia
Montserrat Llora

I love Asherah, spelled Ashera. I really can't stand Montserrat. It looks far too masculine and is difficult to place on a child.
Out of your combos, I like Asherah Madeline and Asherah Vivian the best. I would suggest Madeleine if you're looking for that pronunciation, which happens to be my preferred pronunciation as well. For a nickname, I would use Asha, Ash, Shera, or Era.
Asherah Lior
Asherah Liel
Asherah Sarai
Asherah Pauline
Asherah Lynette
Asherah Beth
Asherah Christine
Asherah Stephanie
Asherah Melody
Asherah Malini
Asherah Breanne
Asherah Lisette
Asherah Isolde
Asherah Blythe
Asherah Mirele
Asherah Rosanne
Asherah Margot
Asherah Sylvan
Asherah Mairead
Asherah Carmel

But the LEINE at the end of Madeleine makes it pronounced MAD-uh-linn with a short I. I prefer the MAD-uh-line because it has the long I. Leine sounds whiny to me.

I've always loved Asherah, and Montserrat is very cool, too. I think Asherah Katherine and Montserret Eliza are the most usable. What about Montserrat Sabrina? I've always thought that sounded very pretty.

They do sound nice together. I like best:
Asherah Gwen
Asherah Josephine
Asherah Juliet
Asherah Katherine
Montserrat Anouk
Montserrat Kerensa
Montserrat Lavinia
Montserrat Linnea
Maybe Mona or Tera for Montserrat? Might be a bit of a stretch though.
