I think Grace Rosalind and Marnie Violet make a better set. First because I don't like that grace and violet are both words in the same combo and secondly because both Grace and Violet seem like such proper, buttoned up names in contrast to Marnie and Rosalind, which feel more earthy and carefree. It would be nice to have one of each type name on each sister, IMO.
Alfie and Jude together sound very British. I'm not keen on Alfie as a full name because I think it sounds childish, especially since "-ie" names in general come off that way. Alfie John flows ok but next to Alfie, John feels sort of nicknamish as well. Jude Oliver is a handsome combo but kind of boring in the regard that it's a combo someone who thinks they're being original picks, even though Jude and Oliver are both quickly becoming mainstream.

I like all the names, good choices. The boys combos work nicely separately and together. Grace Violet sounds a little off to me though, the flow is not right imo. I think Violet Grace works better, but I am not a fan of having to "word" names together. I actually prefer Grace Rosalind and Marnie Violet.

Marnie is a bit nickname-y to go with Grace imo, and Marnie Rosalind doesn't fit together like Grace Violet does. Maybe they were using family names, even if the combo isn't great.
Alfie and Jude are both nns, so the fn style matches. But John and Oliver together reminded me of John Oliver who was on The Daily Show for several years, but now has his own similar show on some other network that I don't get. So I'd wonder if you were fans of his. Otherwise not bad. Ditto on the British feel.
