Elijah Jonathan - I like the names individually, but together is a mish-mosh of "zhuh" and "juh."

---

August Noah - Normally August is nms (and I also don't usually combine 'o' and 'u' names together), but this is a handsome combo.

---

Micah Jarrod - I like the sound of the combo, but I just can't get behind the Jarrod spelling (it makes me want to say "ja-ROD" when I read it). Though it doesn't really matter, I guess, in the middle name slot.

---

Archer William - Distinguished, if a little staid. I have trouble imagining a little boy named Archer.

---

Leo Alexander - Fantastic.

---

Thomas Xavier - Also very handsome.

---

Jack Carter - Feels like a full name (I'm just not feeling the Carter love).

---

Riley Ezekiel - Quirky combination of names from different genres (somewhat trendy unisex meets... Protestant Reformation?), but I'm liking it.

---

Wilson Oliver - Wilson is a nice alternative to the great but popular William, and doesn't quite sound so "old" as, say, Wilbur (which I also like). Oliver is usually nms, but it pairs well with Wilson.

---

Cairo Asher - Asher is a pretty cool name. But I'm not feeling Cairo at all.

---

Lilia Adele - Like "Elijah Jonathan," for me the "a" and "l" sounds run into each other. Beautiful names individually, though.

---

Willow Sarah - Very graceful.

---

India Sinead - Wonderful flow; the names match in sound, but not too much. (I don't like Indie at all, sorry.)

---

Sasha April - Sasha is nms, and April is okay on it's own, but the ending "ah" of Sasha and beginning "Ay" of April seem awkwardly smashed together.

---

Ariana Holly - It's a very liquid combination, though I like the names individually.

---

Rose Molly - Kind of stilted, and the "Romy" nickname seems forced.

---

Zoe Scarlett - Very attractive. I imagine the bearer of this name would be something of a femme fatale.

---

Aurora Hazel - Not a fan of either name individually (especially Aurora, which is legitimately difficult for me to say at times), and I can't say I like the names together. Sorry.

---

Jade Autumn - I love Jade, and Autumn is okay, but I've never been a fan of combining two English "word names" in the same combo - especially if they both come from nature. It seems a tad... well, cheesy. This name is basically "pale green Fall."

---

Anastasia Elizabeth - I love Anastasia, and like Elizabeth, but this is quite a long name. I usually try to pair Anastasia with a short middle name.
