So, I finally got around to making a new list. I was wondering if any of you would like to share your thoughts on my new list! Also, I'm very open to new first names with a current middle name and vise versa.

 

 
Girls
 
Amity Josephine
Ava Kathryn
Clementine Eloise
Madeleine Anita
Margaret Rose

 

Persphone Claire
 
 
Boys
 
Edison Luis Miguel
Emory Maxwell
Graham Chester Alan

Girls
 
Amity Josephine - Love love love. I actually think I just suggested this one today in the quick question thread. I adore Amity, the meaning, the sound, the fact that it feels wearable but is super uncommon, everything. It flows great with Josephine, which is a name I'm always iffy about because it feels old but sounds lovely. Overall, great combo, and I love the initials AJ, even though Amity is too cute to have a nickname.
Ava Kathryn - Not bad. I personally prefer Ada to Ava and Katherine to Katheryn, but since the differences are small I still like this combo overall. Good flow. 
Clementine Eloise - I just can't get on the Clementine bandwagon, sorry. And there's something a bit off about the flow in this combo. But Eloise is pretty, I'm a sucker for El- names for girls.
Madeleine Anita - I really like Madeleine, particularly this spelling. I could take or leave Anita, and I don't think it flows that well as a middle here because it adds one too many N's. Madeleine Eloise would be really cute - it's still a tad off in flow but not that bad.
Margaret Rose - I'm iffy on Margaret. It seems a bit outdated to be but I think the nickname Maggie could really sell it, if you like that nickname. Rose is alright, I just feel like it's a super common middle and there are so many other flower names that you could use nowadays to modernize (if you want - I do like the idea of a flower name to freshen up Margaret). Some ideas: Margaret Lily, Margaret Iris, Margaret Poppy, Margaret Ivy, Margaret Clover.
Persphone Claire - I like this one. Persephone is kind of a GP of mine - I love mythology names, but most are difficult to picture on a real person, but I think Persephone could be pulled off (there's always nicknames like Peri/Perrie/Perry, Seph/Sephie, or even Pip). I like Claire, and it flows well with Persephone, which is difficult to pair with anything.
 
 
Boys
 
Edison Luis Miguel - I like the choice of Edison, because it brings famous scientist Thomas Edison to mind, and is a more interesting route to Eddy than traditional Edward/Edwin/etc. Luis and Miguel aren't bad as paired here, the flow is okay, but it does seem to be a bit of a mouthful.
Emory Maxwell - Love! I wouldn't think to use either of these names, but I really like them in this combo. I love uncommon E names for boys, and Emory is great. Maxwell is a handsome, classic choice that flows really well with Emory. Nice one!
Graham Chester Alan - I like Graham and I like Alan (although I prefer Allan or Allen, but I know sometimes people use family names or just have other preferences!) but I'm not a fan of Chester. The whole combo seems kind of clunky to me, whereas Emory Maxwell just flows right off the tongue without a second thought. Alan Graham would be nice, if you felt like switching things around and like Alan enough. other ideas: Graham Isaac, Graham Ezekiel, Graham Julian (although Julian Graham flows better - Graham is difficult to pair when in the first name slot), Vincent Graham, Simon Graham, Noah Graham, Nolan Graham/Graham Nolan.
