Elena is gorgeous! Love Rose also. Elizabeth is quite nice, and classic. The others are nms.
Rose Ellen is the quaintest of the bunch. I like it.
Among these combos I guess I'll vote for Rose Ellen. It just seems the shiniest. Elena is pretty; second choice because I find it less memorable. Elizabeth is "beige" and Jules seems too wannabe "Hollywood androgyne" for me.
Elena Jasmine is nice ... are they using some kind of numerology so the combos are set in stone? I like Jasmine.
I think Aeon is kinda bad and wonder what it's even doing on their list if they're also willing to use Elizabeth, Rose, and Elena. To me it basically evokes "highly stylized nineties animated character always dressed minimally in bondage gear," plus something like "occultist dogwhistle," which either way, imo is pretty cringeworthy and I would not want to be named it. Anyway either it's Ian out loud, or "ion" like I've got my Aeon you.

Rose Ellen is my favorite here. I think both are pretty.
Rose Ellen! Sweet, timeless and surprising.
Honestly, I don't enjoy any of them. They might as well write each one on a piece of paper, shake them in a bag, close their eyes and pull one out.
Diane is so tired. What about Dinah? Elizabeth is too long for daily use; make it a mn. Dinah Elizabeth?
Rose is trite. Find a longer form and have Rose as a possible nn. Ellen makes my toes curl. Rosabel Helen? Rosemary Helen?
Jules, like monsieur Verne? Come on! And if you give a kid a nn as a full name, that kid has nowhere to go. Use Julia or, preferably, Juliet and she'd have options. Rayne does nothing for me, as precipitation or a form of Regina. Juliet Rose, since they seem keen on Rose, would be lovely.
Elena and Ellen: there's a pattern forming. I prefer Eleanor or Elinor to Elena, which has pronunciation issues. Elinor Katharine would be my choice, so they probably wouldn't like it.
Aeon? Really? Look it up, and you'll find 'popular culture names, not commonly given to real people.' More specifically, Aeon: 'Used by animator Peter Chung for his character Æon Flux, from the name of a type of spirit being in Gnosticism, an emanation from the Godhead, ultimately from a Proto-Indo-European base meaning "vital force, life, long life, eternity". In Greek mythology this was an alternative name of the god Chronos.' Can they be serious? I do hope not. But if they are, please try to persuade them that Jasmine Aeon sounds better!

Aeon Jasmine, no question
Elena Katherine flows beautifully.
Either Elena or Rose is very pretty.
Not Jules Rayne; it sounds like rhinestones are falling out of the sky. And Aeon just doesn't look like a name.
