Pandora Amy Valencia Fae - Four names. That's a big one. I actually think the flow would be better if you took out Amy: "Pandora Valencia Fae." Additionally (and I don't know if "synesthetic vibes" are important to you), P names tend to feel much warmer in color than most V or F names (e.g. Sophia is a red name, while Sofia is a cool bluish-purple... to me, anyway). So there are a lot of different colors in that combo. Pandora is a tricky name, though, in terms of pairing it with something. I remember seeing "Pandora Tuesday" on the boards once and finding it positively inspired. I think Pandora would go best with a middle name that had a D in it somewhere. (Pandora Deirdre? Maybe... though Deirdre is awfully pink...)
Demelza Georgiana Clio - I don't actually like any of these names individually, so I wouldn't have any valuable advice about grouping them together.
Beatrix Sylvia Rosalind - "Sylvia Rosalind" is lovely, but Beatrix looks tacked on at the beginning. The -x in Beatrix and S in Sylvia also run into each other. Even though I'm not a fan of the name, what about Georgiana Sylvia Rosalind?
Marigold Clara Hermione - Clara sounds awkward in the middle, though "Marigold Hermione" looks very nice and flows well. If you still want a middle name between them, I recommend that it be short and soft... like Anne.
Lyra Beatrix Valentine - This is what I'm talking about! Beatrix definitely looks like she belongs here. I usually don't pair B and V names, but this combo is an exception.
Kitty, on the other hand, is a nickname. It's a cute nickname, but I don't think it should never find it's way onto someone's birth certificate.
Georgiana Florence Eve - I like this combo better than the other one you proposed, mainly because I think "Florence Eve" flows better than "Florence Winter." Good use of Florence, though - that name doesn't get enough love.
Fae Georgiana Lilac - I've developed a grudging respect for Georgiana since I've seen it so many times on your list. This combo is very pretty. I like your spelling of Fae as a first name, and Lilac (like Florence) doesn't get enough love.
Demelza Georgiana Clio - I don't actually like any of these names individually, so I wouldn't have any valuable advice about grouping them together.
Beatrix Sylvia Rosalind - "Sylvia Rosalind" is lovely, but Beatrix looks tacked on at the beginning. The -x in Beatrix and S in Sylvia also run into each other. Even though I'm not a fan of the name, what about Georgiana Sylvia Rosalind?

Wow! Thanks for the feedback. I honestly didn't see it until now, but it must've taken a while. There are quite a lot of places where meaning had to win over flow, and in Pandora's case number of middles! But you're comments have been really helpful, especially for the combos I wasn't sure on, and for example with Ephraim, which I have as a first lower down my list, I can think about Atticus as a middle for it.
