I like Marigold. It's on my list of favorite names.

I love Marigold! But for some reason I can't imagine it in real life (while the Croatian version Neven works for me without a problem). I guess if she went by Mari or Goldy it would be more user-friendly.

I adore Marigold! It could suit someone extroverted or introverted, pragmatic or whimsical, studious or adventurous, brassy or delicate, etc. etc.

I love Marigold, but I wouldn't pair it with another flower/plant type name, it's too much.

I've long liked the combination of Marigold Eliza.

Marigold is a GP of mine and if I were having another DD, I'd probably use it as a mn if DH didn't hate it. So while I like it very much, I wouldn't pair it with Violet (too floral) or Willow (too much of a nature theme). I'd pair it with something more classic to balance the combo.

Marigold has pleasant 1920s associations and would actually work rather well as a fn. But whether you use it as a fn or a mn, I think that using Violet, Willow etc with it makes for too much botany and sounds silly.
From your pnl, what about Victoria Marigold Maeve? I find it pleasant and distinguished!

I quite like it, but it's a little twee for me.

I wouldn't use Marigold Violet as a combo because they're both flowers - it's a bit much.

Similarly, Marigold Willow is two nature names. It's better, but I would still choose a different second name.

How about
Marigold Hannah
Marigold Rachael
Marigold Alice
Marigold Paige

Marigolds are one of my favorite flowers, and the name itself is a huge break from the more common Rose, Violet, Lily, and Daisy.

---

However, I don't like the middle names you picked. How about...

Marigold Alice
Marigold June
Marigold Skye
Marigold Donna
Marigold Lynn
Marigold Helen
Marigold Lisbeth
Marigold Fleur
Marigold Jane
Marigold Ruth
Marigold Susan

Marigold is a pretty and interesting name choice. I like Marigold Violet alright, not Marigold Willow. Either one would be a little too plant namey for me. I prefer a more classic name as a middle for Marigold
Marigold Vivienne
Marigold Selene
Marigold Elizabeth
Marigold Ruth
Marigold Katrina
Marigold Irene
Marigold Valentina
Marigold Danielle
Marigold Rosalyn
Marigold Fiona

I like Marigold and would consider it (probably for a middle name) but those two combos are a bit too much for me. I think a name like Marigold needs to be paired with something with some weight to it.

Marigold Elizabeth
Marigold Catherine
