I like:
Abigail Della - Actually, I think this name is okay, but when I thought it was Abigail Delia, I got excited. Sadface.
Alanna Gwen
Amelia Grae - "Interesting" spelling of gray, but I'll admit that it looks cool in this combo.
Angelina Celeste
Arista Rose - Looks very pretty on paper, though it's a bit of a tongue twister to say.
Ava Marlene
Avalon Olivia
Calliope Colette
Cecilia Josephine
Cora Violet
Eleanor Dorothy Louisa - One of the only times when I've found Dorothy tolerable. Simply Eleanor Louisa would've been perfect, though, imo.
Ellery Grace
Emma-Rose Esther
Evangeline Juniper - Too cute!
Everley Rose - Wasn't a poster on BtN several months back trying to get opinions on this very combo (particularly championing this spelling of Everley)?
Faye Marion
Grace Bennett - The lost Bennett sister?
Gwen Katherine
Isabella Modena - My great-grandmother was from Modena. This is super-Italian.
Jayne Eleanor
Josephine Belle
Josephine Joy Mirabelle - Joy does seem a bit superfluous here. Still pretty, though.
Juliet Alma - Old-fashioned bur cute!
Kaebree Cayenne - I don't like Kaebree at all, but I'm so glad to see Cayenne be used on a real person!
Lucia Juliette
Lyla Brynn - I know someone who named their daughter this a few months ago (actually, they named her Lyla Brynn Angel). I think it's cute.
Maeve Colleen
Maeve Emilia
Magdalene Virginia - I agree, OP, very beautiful.
Muriel Grace**
Myra Lynn
Natalie Mia
November Hunter - Definitely a GP name. :-)
Ophelia Marie - Gorgeous!
Pippa Genevieve - Would've preferred Philippa as the first name, though.
Rhiannon Corinne - A lot of 'n' for one combo, though.
Sage Aliyah
Sirena Adrianna
Vaedra Michelle
Violet Phoenix
Viviana Xiomara
Willow Elizabeth
Zora Marion

Beckett Carmine - Wow, this is one distinguished name! Actually quite a bit to live up to.
Brice Everett - I prefer Bryce (avoids the "rice" association), but still a really nice name!
Brighton James - I really *want* to like this name... but whenever I hear Brighton, I think of the show "The Nanny."
Cullen Wyatt
Dane Lawrence
Dante Ryan
Douglas Franklin - Another really distinguished name.
Elijah Marcel - This one's kind of cute!
Emmett Reid
Jackson Ramsey
Jackson Ryder
James Palmer
Jonah Randolph - I don't even really like Randolph, but this combo really works.
Liam Montgomery
Logan Palmer - Palmer seems to be kind of trendy...
Matthew Ellis
Thatcher Geoffrey
Thatcher Levi
Zayne Morrison

I raised my eyebrows at:
Aibrey Claire - What is Aibrey? No, seriously, I'm asking - what is it?
Anailil Francette - Francette's just not my style, but I've never heard of Anailil. It almost seems like "a nail ill."
Atli Soren (on a girl)
Breklyn Ann - If you're going to name your child after a NYC borough, at least spell it correctly!
Brooklyn Maize - Yeah, I suppose for some people walking through Brooklyn is like trying to figure your way out of a maze... I guess...
Brooklyn Reign - Yeesh, people are thinking of the *worst* middle names to pair with Brooklyn!
Dahlila Zamarii - Seems like the parents couldn't decide between Delilah and Dahlia. I'm guessing that Zamarii means something in another language, though (I hope).
Eddaila Rosiyah
Fitsum Geremew - I'm really hoping this name is in a language that I simply don't know.
Gemma Sidykat - Gemma is fine, but what the heck is Sidykat???
Glory Obuuy - If the pronunciation is at all similar to "glory, oh boy"...
Jayden Celeste - Why... why, why, why are people naming their daughters Jayden?! At least the middle name is feminine, though (in the English-speaking world).
Jicolle Erendirani
Josie Jo - Seriously?
Kayzlie Storm
Kenzington Tavah
Marrs Ellen - Judging by her siblings Coulter and Coy, I'm guessing Marrs was someone's last name. Still, she's probably going to go through life with people thinking her name is a planet's name misspelled. (Ellen is okay.)
Murai Ayanae
Precious Cheapue
Presley Chevelle - A rather masculine-sounding (imo) surname, and... a car...
Randee Layne - This girl is going to get way too many jokes about her name in high school...
Shaynie John
Thevenete Marie - Thevenete genuinely confuses me. What is it supposed to be?
Tommie Lynn - As bad as Shaynie John.
Traigh Anna - Is the first name pronounced like "tray?" Seriously?
Hailynd Ardysue

Atreyu Axle
Brinley Bayne - I don't think Brinley sounds masculine at all. And Bayne... have the parents ever heard of the phrase "bane of one's existence?" It means poison, people!
ElRey Theodore - ElRey is a really complicated first name to give someone, and imo, it doesn't go with Theodore at all. (Theodore is fine, though.)
Gravin Brason
Grayer Jack - So this Jack is grayer than the last one, huh?
Ifraz Aydin
Legend Nasir Xavier - This name is just really loaded.
Rivaldo Emerson - Sounds like they wanted to name their son Ralph Waldo Emerson, without *really* naming him Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Skinuhis River - I really hope Skinuhis is in a language I don't know.
Taiten Tandy - This is just ridiculous.
Tayden Drece
Tripp Lenial - Initially, I read this as Tripp Denial, and that was even worse...
