HelpBA: two nieces
Yes, I have had two nieces born in the last month, and here are their names
Mae Estelle (Big sister Jill)
Mary Marie
I think Jill and Mae make a very sweet sibset.
I... don't love niece #2 being basically given the same name twice. But I do like seeing Mary being used. Not my style but very much my SIL's.

Mae Estelle and Mary are lovely. Nice choices.

Mary Marie is incredibly stupid, it's not like naming your kid Isabel Elizabeth where the person might not realize they are different forms of the same name, Mary and Marie are obviously different forms of the same name. My name is Mary and it's pretty common for people to switch my name into whatever form is most common in their language, Maria to Spanish and Italian people, Marie to the French.
With that said, Mary is a great name.
Mae Estelle is very pretty, you don't hear Jill on little ones very often.

I don't exactly love Estelle -- although I really like Estella -- however, the flow of Mae Estelle is charming and Mae is so retro and adorable.
Mary Marie, otoh, sigh. I don't understand why parents do this although I have seen it before with Liam William, Lisa Beth and Molly Marie. Hey, at least they're all spelled correctly. On the positive, it's nice to see Mary being used as a fn these days. It's a sweet name.

Congrats!
My take on these names echos your own, with the addition of enjoying star imagery alongside Mae. :)

I really like Jill. Mae is kind of cute but kind of nothing also. I do like Estelle.
Mary Marie is awful. It's like "Well, we had nine months but we still can't think of anything. Let's just fall back on the default name for the past three hundred years, and add in the default middle name for the last 100. Tra la la, Mary Marie, at least now we can quit calling her The Baby."
