Many of the combos you've got on here are lovely. I admit, though I'm sure I'm in the minority, that I adore and love Florence as a male name. It think it's one of those names that can be gorgeous or handsome, depending on who wears it.

I've had Amabel on my list for ages, and I like Florence quite a bit, even though some might see it as "dated"

You're living in the U.S.?... m

...Yes? Or in Great Britain? But not in France, right? I just want to know which country and language the names would have to fit into...
Using French names in English-speaking countries is not a thing I would do. If you're specially connected with France because you're of French origin or your husband is or whatever, then I find it nice to use a French mn to honour France or your parents etc. But if not, I don't really like using French names in an English-speaking country, because people simply are almost never able to pronounce them correctly and, much more important, I find that the name one chooses for his/her child should go well in the country he/she lives in, i.e. it should be possible to pronounce the name correctly in the language at all. For example, a Latin or Roman name isn't a native English name, but most of them can be pronounced in English correctly, without having to invent a pronounciation for a certain letter or making a name sound too funny. The first problem would occur with the French "é" and other "special letters" pronounced in English. Sorry for this long post, I just wanted to make my position clear.
Out of your list, I like these combos (if marked with one, two and so on asterisks I really like or love or really love the combo or either the individual names):
