HelpRe: Isabel

All of your combinations are terrific -- not a clunker in the bunch. Eleanora Isabel suffers from repeated "el" sounds. But it still works. You just have better.
Clara Isabel has the best overall flow. Love it.
Too stuffy? You're asking the wrong person. The "stuffier" the better, I say. I like to think I'm naming the next prime minister / president / great artist / humanitarian, etc. So for both sexes I love to see formal names like these. Besides, P.G. Wodehouse has taught me that it's a thin line between "stuffy" and "comical" so why worry?
August Leopold and Jude Ciaran are my favorites. Oh, you've included Bertram! That's Bertie Wooster's name. Love that one. But I would switch things a little to get Henry Bertram and Atticus Robert. (Henry Robert has the "r" sounds too close together for my ears.)
Silas Joshua is a bit of a tongue twister, now that I think about it. Having "s" "sh" and "j" all together is asking a lot.
