> is Leah Eve too "e" heavy?

To my ear, yes, and Leah Eden is too - in both combos, the "e" is stressed and in the first syllable in both names.

Of your remaining choices, Leah Chloe and Leah Bethany, I would pick Leah Bethany because the variation in rhythms makes for a more musical flow. (Leah and Chloe have the same rhythms.)

As for the rest:

Aliza Bethany - With this spelling, I am guessing you are pronouncing it "uh-LEEZ-uh" rather than like Eliza...? Pronunciation may still be an issue here. Other than that, the combo is quite nice.

Amira Eve - Again, you have a stressed long e sound in both names. The rhythmic variation helps with this, though. I will say that when I speak the combo aloud, it's a little challenging to make the transition between the vowel at the end of the first name and the vowel at the start of the second name. (That goes for some of the other combos as well. I'll just say it here rather than retyping the same thing each time ;) )

Avigail Eden - Will you have issues with people mishearing/mispronouncing this as Abigail? Nice combo, still.

Maya Eden - Maya is pretty, but I think it would flow better with a middle name that is not also two syllables and stressed on the first syllable. Do you have any other middles in mind for Maya? (Maya Bethany?)

Shoshana Eve - This has a lovely flow and a nice distribution of vowel and consonant sounds.
