My girls list is still much shorter than my boys list but its still longer than its ever been. Most of them have a similar feel compared to my boys names which vary widely. Would any of these names be a hindrance? I know my family wouldn't handle any of these names well but its my kid, right?

 

My new combos:

 

Charlotte Lenore/Charlotte Eira (AY-ra)

Arabella Roisin

Delilah Cyrene/Delilah Marceline

Eva Noelle

Milena Tamsin

Sylvia Aisling

Felicity Bethan

Camille Raisa

Jocelyn Firenze

 

and the one name Martin likes Blair Hyacinth. I feel like Blair might not fit with the other girls names I like as they are all clearly feminine and Blair is unisex but I also have Avery Sage which bounces back and forth between on the list and off.

Charlotte Lenore - I prefer Charlotte Lenore, it just seems to flow better. Charlotte is a gp of mine. 

Arabella Roisin - Arabella is so cutsie, but I can't see it on a grown woman. I've never heard Roisin before, correct my pronunciation of Roy-zin?

Delilah Cyrene - I prefer Delilah Cyrene. The pair compliments the sounds of the other name better, if that makes sense? Delilah is such a gorgeous name. 

Eva Noelle - Are you saying it Eva as in Eve or Eva as in Ever? You said something about Nordic on your boys list so I'm thinking Eva as in Ever. Noelle is such a great name, I wish it was more popular. 

Milena Tamsin - GORGEOUS. Tamsin is so pretty  :wub:  and Milena is beautiful. This is my favourite combo on your girls' list. I love it. 

Sylvia Aisling - Sylvia is nice, just not my cup of tea. Aisling is pretty but I have trouble saying it, though it might be my accent. 

Felicity Bethan - Felicity is another that I just can't see on a grown woman. Bethan is nice. 

Camille Raisa - Camille is a beauty. Raisa is nice, but it reminds me of raisins right away.

Jocelyn Firenze - I love Jocelyn. Firenze is definitely different, never heard of that one before. 

Blair Hyacinth - Blair is cute, but I see it on a boy more than a girl. Hyacinth is one of those names that I don't like for no reason. It just doesn't sound good to me. 

Avery Sage - Avery is a gp, but I can't use it because I have Ivory, but I love seeing it on other people's children. Sage is a perfect mn for Avery.

Charlotte Lenore/Charlotte Eira (AY-ra) - can't decide which I like better, both are pretty. I feel like Charlotte Eira and Blair Hyacinth would go nicely together because the first names both have a "preppy" feel and the middles are less heard of. 

Arabella Roisin - favorite combo you have! Really great!

Delilah Cyrene/Delilah Marceline - Though Marceline is pretty, I don't particularly like either middle with Delilah. Can't put my finger on why. Maybe Delilah Sage?

Eva Noelle - gorgeous, though a little plain compared to the rest of your list. Eva Marceline would be incredibly sweet  :wub: 

Milena Tamsin - not my style

Sylvia Aisling - I love Sylvie, and Sylvia is growing on me. Nice combo. 

Felicity Bethan - not my style. 

Camille Raisa - not my style

Jocelyn Firenze - I like Jocelyn a  lot. Never heard Firenze. How is it pronounced?

Firenze is fehr-ENZ-ay. Martin picked it because of Assassin's Creed. Lots of his suggestions come from video games and/or old movies.
Eva Marceline is great! I waver back and forth on Felicity because my friend is set on having a Felix and my kids will see a lot of them.
Thanks!

Charlotte Lenore/Charlotte Eira (AY-ra) - I really like both of these combos, and both middle names are pretty and uncommon.

Arabella Roisin - Neither name is really my style, but I think they go together okay.

Delilah Cyrene/Delilah Marceline - I prefer Delilah Marceline... it sounds so elegant.

Eva Noelle - Really pretty, though I wouldn't use Noelle myself.

Milena Tamsin - Tamsin isn't for me, but I love Milena.

Sylvia Aisling - I'm not huge on either name, and I think the A's at the en of Sylvia and the beginning of Aisling clash a bit.

Felicity Bethan - Felicity is nice, and I've never heard of Bethan before but I love Beth and I think this combo is pretty.

Camille Raisa - I love Camille, and this combo is really lovely.

Jocelyn Firenze - Not huge on either name.

Blair Hyacinth - Again, neither name is my style, but I like that Hyacinths are really pretty flowers.

Avery Sage - I love the name Sage but this combo seems a bit unisex to me.

Charlotte Lenore/Charlotte Eira (AY-ra) - I love love love your combo of Charlotte Lenore. Very classic and elegant. Awesome choice!

Arabella Roisin - I just think of raisins when I see this. I believe Arabella should be continued with another feminine name. 

Delilah Cyrene/Delilah Marceline - Love  love love Delilah. I don't feel any attraction towards Cyrene because it reminds me of a siren, you know like in the old days? Delilah Marceline is definitely a winner in my book. Vintage  no doubt with an amazing feminine flare. 

Eva Noelle - Eva is really growing on me. The combo is simple and I like that. 

Milena Tamsin - I despise the name Milena. I've never felt that it was a nice name for a sweet baby. Tamsin is odd but I kind of like it. 

Sylvia Aisling - I like the name Sylvia but Aisling will get mispronounced constantly. I don't particularly like it because it reminds me of a flailing bird. 

Felicity Bethan - nms, Felicity has never been a favorite of mine. I prefer Bethany over Bethan although it would not work with Felicity because of them both ending in the ee sound. 

Camille Raisa - I prefer Camilla to Camille. Raisa is nms and also reminds me of raisin as well.

Jocelyn Firenze - Jocelyn is okay, nms. 

 Blair Hyacinth - I LOVE Blair. I like the spelling Blaire just a tad bit better. Your doubts about it not sounding feminine like the other names shouldn't be a concern because I think Delilah and Blair would make the most adorable sibset EVER! They both give off that spunkyness to it. It's also nice to see a different nature name in use.  

Avery Sage - I'm on the fence about Avery. While I would never use it I like to see it on other peoples kids. I do like it for girls better than boys. And Sage as a middle is just so cool! I love it. 

 

My favorites from your list has to be Delilah Marceline and Blair Hyacinth. :)

Charlotte Lenore/Charlotte Eira - Charlotte is such a lovely name!  Charlotte Lenore seems a little heavy on the L sound, but it's still pretty.  Charlotte Eira is nice as well, though you would definitely encounter spelling/pronunciation issues with it... that being said, though, I think it's much more useable in the middle name spot, especially when paired with such a classic name like Charlotte.

 

Arabella Roisin - Arabella is not really my style, but I like how even though it is old-fashioned, it fits in well with all the Ariana's and Isabella's today.  Roisin is nice... again, I prefer it in the middle name spot since there would be spelling/pronunciation issues in English-speaking countries.  Arabella Roisin sounds lovely!

 

Delilah Cyrene/Delilah Marceline - Delilah is nice.  I've never heard of Cyrene before... to be honest, it sounds a bit made up to me.  I had to do some research to learn that it is a Greek mythological name.  It's not really my style, but I think it sounds nice with Delilah.  Marceline seems a bit more approachable than Cyrene, but Delilah Marceline seems a bit too lengthy to me.  So I would prefer Delilah Cyrene... or even Delilah Irene, Delilah Eileen, Delilah Selene/Celine... more "common" substitutes for the unusual Cyrene.

 

Eva Noelle - Lovely!  I really like this one.  The only problem I can think of with this combo is that it sounds kind of like Eve Noelle or Eve of Noelle, which seems very Christmas-y!  Still, it's a very pretty combo!

 

Milena Tasmin - Neither names are my style... but the combo sounds nice!  Milena is really pretty... do you pronounce it My-lay-nuh?  Tasmin has never been a favorite of mine since it reminds me of talisman, which I think is kind of odd.  Plus I knew a boy named Tasman, so maybe that's why I'm not fond it it!  Do you like Milena Jasmine or Milena Tess or Milena Yasmin?

 

Sylvia Aisling - Sylvia is kind of clunky-sounding to me, but it's still nice.  I'm not crazy about the combo though, since the "a" at the end of Sylvia seems to clash with the "a" at the beginning of Aisling... plus, for some reason, Sylvia and Aisling seem incompatible to me, Sylvia being Latin and old-fashioned, Aisling being very Irish and almost trendy-sounding, since it fits in with all the Ashley's, Asher's, Brooklyn's, etc.

 

Felicity Bethan - I love Felicity; it's so sweet-sounding!  Bethan looks like a misspelling of Bethany to be honest... do you like Felicity Beth?

 

Camille Raisa - I really like Camille, and it's refreshing to see it as a first name!  I'm not totally sure how to pronounce Raisa... I've heard it pronounced both ray-suh and rye-see-uh.  With Camille, I think the Rye-ee-suh pronunciation sounds better, but the ray-suh spelling seems more intuitive.

 

Jocelyn Firenze - Jocelyn is a little dated to me, but it's still a pretty name.  As for Firenze, it doesn't seem like an actual name to me... I think of the centaur in Harry Potter; is that where you got it?  It also seems a bit too masculine to work as a girl's name.

 

Blair Hyacinth - Love the flow of this combo!  I understand your concerns about Blair being unisex, but I think it would still go well with your other girls' names... Felicity and Blair, Blair and Noelle, etc.  I personally like the Blaire spelling because it seems more feminine, like Claire.

 

Avery Sage - I like this combo, but I think the "ay" sound is repeated too much... AY-ver-ee sAY-g.  How do you like Avery Skye as an alternative?

 

****

 

All in all, I like the first names you've chosen... they would all work well together as sisters.  I've noticed you tend to opt for more unusual middle names, which I think is fine, especially since your first names are more familiar and approachable.  Hope this helps!

Thanks!
Martin pulled Firenze from Assassin's Creed since its the Italian name for the city Florence. Lots of the names he winds up suggesting are from video games or older movies he likes so its one of those things I try to incorporate them somewhere.
Milena is meh-lee-nah and Rasia is Rye-ee-sah. I like Skye but I went to school with a Skye that ruined the name for me.
I definitely like more unusual middles (girls and boys) since its unexpected and a nice place to hide them.
