Anoushka*
Adele*
Antonia*
Athena 
Beth* (Elizabeth's my middle name so ideally I wouldn't want to name any future daughters this, but I don't like Bethany. Any other names that could be shortened to Beth for a nickname?)
Charlotte*
Carmen*
Celeste
Delphine
Danielle
Delilah*
Eva
Erica
Florence*
Francessca
Frederica 
Genevieve
Gwyneth*
Giselle*
Georgianna
Gabrielle
Giovanna
Greta
Gwendolyn
Henrietta*
Harriette*
Harrietta*
Helena*
Hester
Hestia*
Isobel*
Isabelle/Isabella*
Imogen
Josephine*
Jezebel (just because it sounds cool, not because I'd ever be that evil to a child)
Julianna
Jemima
Lorena
Magda*
Marietta*
Mariette
Mariana
Nadine
Naomi
Pandora*
Petra
Roberta
Susannah* 
Sian*

Don't worry I won't be having any kids for ages, so you've got plenty of time to dissuade me from any of them that you think are hideous!

Boy's list up shortly.

I think Beth is fine on it's own. If you WANT to use it as a nickname, though, maybe for Annabeth?

My favorites are:
Beth
Charlotte
Danielle
Francessca - I'd drop the extra s, though. It's normally spelled Francesca.
Genevieve - I love it, but are you planning to use the French pronunciation (Jean-vee-ev; the 'j' pronounced like a cross between an S and a J), or the Americanized way (Jen-uh-veeve)? I like both, but depending on where you live, the pronunciation might be something to think about.
Gabrielle
Harriette - I LOVE this name, but I dislike the extra T and E. Just Harriet looks so much nicer to me.
Josephine
Julianna
Nadine
Sophia

I really like the sound of Bethlehem, which shortens nicely to Beth.

So many intereseting names - I like Adele, Greta, Hestia and Josephine.

Names I like:
Athena, Beth (Elspeth is the Scottish form of Elizabeth and I rather like that name really), Celeste, Delilah (:D on my list as well), Eva, Gwyneth, Gwendolyn, Helena, Isabella, Julianna, Naomi, Sophia

Names I'm not so fond of:
Anoushka (I didn't particularly like this name, but is there a meaning or reason behind this name for why you like it?), Imogen, Petra (reminds me of Petry dishes you use in science class or the pterodactyl in Land Before Time)

The rest I'm not too picky about either way. As far as the combos, I'm not really good with combos until I pick the very first name. The only one that really stood out to me that I liked was Eva Danielle. I like the Charlotte in the pairing though a lot.

Adele Francesca
Antonia Celeste
Athena Celeste
Elizabeth Henriette
Bethany Francesca
Danielle Nadine
Gwyneth Lorena
Gwendolyn Susannah
Isabella Josephine
Naomi Sophia
Sophia Gabrielle

The only name I don't actually like is Anoushka. It is extremely out of place. It's just a personal thing; I prefer more traditional names.
