For girls, I really like Sophia, Beth, Gabrielle, and Charlotte the best. And I think Elle/Ellie is a really cute nickname for Gabrielle. For combos, Sophia Gabrielle is best, although I think you have better middle name options than that. Sophia Naomi is cute, and I also like Sophia Adele. Beth Celeste seems choppy to me, but Beth Delilah and Beth Naomi are both really pretty. For Gabrielle, I think it sounds best with Rebecca, and Charlotte Delilah is gorgeous. Eve is also a really nice name, but as a nickname for Evelyn. Eve by itself seems incomplete, although I know it can stand on its own as well. I like it a lot better than Eva, too. The only name I'd really recommend NOT using would be Pandora. I like the way the name sounds, but she's forever going to be getting comments about "Hey Pandora, where's your box?" etc. I'm not even really a fan of it as a middle name.

For the boys, I like Marcus, Benjamin, Nathaniel, Edward, Michael, and Jonas the best. I really like Luke Oliver, Luke Thomas, Nathaniel Isaac, Benjamin Isaac, Edward Michael, and Michael Edward for combinations. Marc by itself seems incomplete, but I really like Marcus and Marc could be used as a nickname. If you do use it on it's own, I'd spell it Mark. Marc-with-a-c sees more like a nickname for Marcus, while Mark-with-a-k seems more like the name by itself. Alec is okay, but I always have to stop myself from saying "Alex," and I think there are other people who have the same problem. I don't know if that'd be an issue for you, but if it is, I'd avoid using the name, because a lot of people are going to call him Alex, no matter how many times you correct them. Adam, Robert, Christopher, and Matthew are all okay, but they seem kind of...boring to me, I guess. I like the others a lot more.

LOVE your girl names, I thumbed-up most of them except a few where the "uh uh" sound was repeated from the end of a FN to the beginning of a MN.
