Zahara - Love it! (You seem to love this as a first name from your other posts, and you obviously don't care about the Angelina thing, so I say, use it!
Mahala - Means "weak" or "sick" doesn't it? Not good for a child IMO
Hazelle (rhymes with gazelle) - Can't say I care for it
Olga - Bad assocaition with an Olga I knew... But it's not bad. Maybe as a middle name?
Sophia - Love it.
Safiya - Cute! I looked in the database, and came up with "pure" as it's meaning... Very nice! (It reminds me of Sayuri, which is one of my favorite names, and it's the name of the main character in Memoirs of a Geisha - great book/movie!)
Willow - Love it!
Isis - Love it!
Willow Sophia
**Isis Willow
**Safiya Zahara
Zahara Isis
Safiya olga
** = My faves
I wouldn't use Sophia and Safiya in the same sibset, but they are both cute!

I think Hazelle and Sophia

I'd go with Sophia and Willow--both are gorgeous names. I'd also love Zahara and Sophia or Zahara and Willow.
The rest are either bad or awful, sorry.

What unusual names! I like the different feel of them. Some combos that I would suggest are:
Olga Hazelle (I really like this one!)
Safiya Isis
Sophia Willow
I find all those names very beautiful, but I think I read once that Mahala means 'disease' - you might want to check that. (Also, personally, I wouldn't choose 'Hazelle' for my baby, because as far as I know that name is just a sound without meaning. What'd that say about my child?)
Olga and Hazelle would be nice names to live by.

You have some lovely names there. I love Zahara! I think it is gorgeous. I like Sophia, Willow and Isis as well. Olga and Mahala are terrible IMO and Safiya is a bit awkward.
Zahara and Willow or Zahara and Isis are my picks. Very pretty :)

I adore Sophia, and Willow is very sweet. I like Isis, too. The rest aren't my style, but they're all good names.
Congratulations! That's coming right up. :)
