Girls:
Florence Adelaide (Flora) - I'm not a fan of Florence, or the nickname Flora, and to me it would flow better switched around (Adelaide Florence). It's a nice combo though.
Araminta Jade (Minnie) - I'm finding it hard to like Araminta, though I feel like it's a name that could grow on me. I like how you've paired it with the more popular Jade as a middle, and the nickname Minnie is just too cute!
Cordelia Violet (Cory) - Again, not a fan of Cordelia, although Cory is darling. Violet is beautiful, and it's a name that I have on my list. This is an okay combo, and the flow is nice.
Gwendolyn Ivy (Gwen) - My step-nan was a Gwendolyn, so this name has a precious place in my heart (trying to find a first name to go with it is hard though). Ivy isn't my cup of tea, but it goes nicely in the middle spot.
Josephine Kathryn (Josie) - Love Josephine nickname Josie (adorable!), but I don't think Kathryn flows well after it, maybe something with a different ending; Claire, Ivy, Lily, Piper, Grace etc.
Ruth Alexandra (Rue) - Love this combo, especially the nickname Rue for Ruth (Omg Hunger Games ;_; ) I can't find any faults with this one!
Eleanor (Elea) - Eleanor is okay, it's not my favourite, but I don't dislike it either. Not really sure how Elea is pronounced, but if it's like Ellie, then it's cute Some middle name suggestions: Grace, Hope, Whitney, Kathryn (Ellie-Kate would be adorable), Poppy, Jasmine, Riley, Willow, Ruth.
Jessamine (Jessa) - I'm not sure whether I like this or not, but Jessa is a cute nickname. Some middle name suggestions: Rose, Laura, Lily, Pearl, Florence, Susannah, Claire, Ella, Molly, Holly, Olivia.
Esther - I'm not a fan of this one; I just really cannot see it on a baby/child/teen/adult. It's a name that to me perpetually represents over 60s, sorry. Some middle name suggestions: Georgiana, Christina, Kathryn (I'm thinking Ettie-Kate :3), Naomi, Louise, Jasmine, Grace.
Boys:
Ezekiel Thomas (Zeke) - This is cute, and very classic, and I like it a lot.
Theodore Alexander (Teddy) - See above (Also, Teddy is adorable)
Andrew George - Not a fan of Andrew, but George is cute. Maybe with the nickname Drew I could get on board with this
Abraham Paul (Bram) - It's an alright combo, but I'm not enamoured of Abraham. Paul I adore, but I do think the combo flows much better with it as the middle name (sadly).
Charles Oliver (Charlie) - I think this would flow better switched around (Oliver Charles), but I like this combo (I may be biased though lol).
Samuel Benjamin (Sam) - I know too many Sams, but I like this combo. It just seems to flow, and it's a combination of two classics, making it ageable.
Gideon Paul - I prefer this to Abraham Paul, partly because I prefer Gideon over Abraham (lol).
Archer (Archie) - Love <3 Some middle name suggestions: James, Lewis, William, Luke, Phillip, Finley, Dominic.
Phillip - Never been a fan of Phillip. Middle name suggestions: John, Jack, James, Henry, Andrew, George, Greyson.
Everett (Rhett) - Like Rhett but not Everett. Middle name suggestions: Luke, Harvey, Oliver, Paul, Silas, Charles, Simon.
I hope this helped some. I'm really tired so my brain isn't wanting to work right now, but if you want any more suggestions just ask
♥

Florence Adelaide (Flora)
I'm just super glad you liked this combo. I think Florence Adela is just as nice (Maybe shorter and since both are place names! it might be a little matchy), but that's a matter of opinion.
Araminta Jade (Minnie)
I'm unsure about this one. I first heard this name when I read it in a book, years ago. It was the name of the "villain" and so doesn't have very great associations. It also bothers me that it has the word "Mint" in it.. Jade compliments it well however. Minnie as a nickname is sweet. There's also AJ, Amy, Mina or Mia.
Cordelia Violet (Cory)
This combination is adorable. Though it's a little "L" heavy, it's not something you'd notice.
I do however prefer the nicknames Cora, Delia or Della.
Gwendolyn Ivy (Gwen)
This ones perfect IMO. Not a think I would change.
Josephine Kathryn (Josie)
I agree with Hannah on the flow. Since both names end with the same sounds, I think either would be best paired with a different name. i.e.
Josephine Alice
Josephine Charlotte
Josephine Katia
Josephine Olive
Josephine Audrey
Josephine Ruby
Josephine Clara
Josephine Iris
Josephine Scarlet
Matilda Kathryn
Amelia Kathryn
Phoebe Kathryn
Rosamond Kathryn
Valentina Kathryn
Georgina Kathryn
Hazel Kathryn
Penelope Kathryn
Virginia Kathryn
Arabella Kathryn
Ruth Alexandra (Rue)
I really like this one and though I tend to prefer nicknames that are shorter than the actual name, it's essentialy like using Annie for Anna. I love it!
Here's a few ideas for the names you don't have combinations for. (Eleanor is my favourites. Jessamine NMS and Esther is alright, but I like the idea of using Ettie as a nickname).
Eleanor Jasmine
Eleanor Poppy
Eleanor Daphne
Eleanor Bridget
Eleanor Sylvie
Eleanor Cadence
Eleanor Gretchen
Eleanor Jacqueline
Eleanor Darcy
Eleanor Tabitha
Jessamine Eve
Jessamine Carys
Jessamine Ava
Jessamine Daisy
Jessamine Opal
Jessamine Lily
Jessamine Valerie
Jessamine Harriet
Jessamine Cora
Jessamine Rose
Jessamine Liesel
Esther Vivien
Esther Magdalene
Esther Diana
Esther Olivia
Esther Julianne
Esther Viola
Esther Susannah
Esther Corinne
Esther Gabrielle
Esther Francesca
Esther Ophelia
Esther Antoinette
And some other randoms name you might like:
Rosalind, Aurelia, Cecilia, Imogen, Odette, Delphine, Meredith, Tallulah, Clarissa,
Guinevere, Rhiannon, Camilla, Estelle, Moira, Celeste, Helena, Isolde, Marianne,
Anastasia, Juliet, Alexandria, Vanessa, Isadora, Octavia, Cassandra, Anneliese,
Constance, Isabella, Henrietta, Millicent, Emma, Stella, Clementine, Theodora,
Prudence, Nora, Angeline, Veronica, Marguerite, Evelyn, Genevra, Winifred.
Ezekiel Thomas (Zeke), Abraham (Bram)/Gideon Paul,
I adore these. I wouldn't change a thing.
Theodore Alexander (Teddy)
I love both names, but like with Josephine Kathryn, I dislike the similar endings.
What about Theodore Charles or Phillip Alexander?
Theodore Saul
Theodore Henry
Theodore Miles
Theodore Logan
Theodore Evan
Theodore Levi
Theodore Isaac
Theodore Micah
Theodore Amos
Simon Alexander
Judd Alexander
Graham Alexander
Reid Alexander
Wyatt Alexander
Seth Alexander
Griffin Alexander
Maxwell Alexander
Jonah Alexander
Ruben Alexander
Andrew George, Charles Oliver (Charlie) and Samuel Benjamin (Sam).
All the names are simple and sweet together, but there's no spark for me.
Archer Timothy
Archer Lawrence
Archer Warren
Archer Michael
Archer Caspian
Archer James
Archer Gregory
Archer Raymond
Archer Nicolas
Archer Lewis
Phillip Daniel
Phillip Garrett
Phillip Tristan
Phillip Edison
Phillip Cassius
Phillip Asher
Phillip Brennan
Phillip Gabriel
Phillip Jude
Phillip Edmund
Phillip Burke
Phillip Dawson
Everett Spencer
Everett Wiley
Everett Cole
Everett Michael
Everett Logan

Dexter, Christian, Harrison, Vincent, Roman, Bennet, Fletcher, Emmett,
Quentin, August, Evander, Kenneth, Truman, Emmanuel, Leonard, Abram,
Richard, Elliot, Lucien, Thaddeus, Hugh, Forrest, Ellis, Wilson, Tobias,
Samson, Conrad, Phineas, Alistair, Hayes, Sebastian, Percy, Abel,
Ambrose, Carlisle, McKinley, Brandt, Silas, Austen, Julian.

Florence Adelaide (Flora) - This combo is a little lengthy to me, but I do like both names. Adelaide is gorgeous; it makes a lovely middle. Florence is nice too, though not my style.
Araminta Jade (Minnie) - I'm a little hesitant about Araminta... but Minnie is adorable! Jade compliments it nicely.
Cordelia Violet (Cory) - Pretty. The names compliment each other nicely. Cory to me is all boy though. What do you think of the nickname Delia?
Gwendolyn Ivy (Gwen) - Lovely flow! Gwendolyn is not my style, but Gwen is such a sweet nickname. And Ivy is lovely too.
Josephine Kathryn (Josie) - Lovely! I love the nickname Josie for Josephine.
Ruth Alexandra (Rue) - Pretty. I prefer the nickname Ruthie, but Rue is all right. Alexandra is a nice middle.
Eleanor (Elea) - How are you pronouncing Elea? Like Ella or Eh-lee-uh, or something else? I think Eleanor is nice, but it's hard to find middle names for, in my opinion. Nevertheless, here are some suggestions:
Eleanor Camille
Eleanor Pearl
Eleanor Kate
Eleanor Rose
Eleanor Sophia
Eleanor Holly
Eleanor Paige
Eleanor May
Eleanor Grace
Eleanor Hope
Eleanor Faith
Eleanor Shannon
Eleanor Bridget
Jessamine (Jessa) - Jessamine is not my style... I prefer Jessica, Jasmine, or even just Jessa on its own. Middle name suggestions:
Jessamine Ruby
Jessamine Lily
Jessamine Holly
Jessamine Charlotte
Jessamine Louise
Jessamine Hazel
Jessamine Lenore
Jessamine Olive
Jessamine Violet
Esther - Seems a bit outdated to me. What do you think of Estella / Estelle?
Boys:
Ezekiel Thomas (Zeke) - Ezekiel has always seen a tad clunky to me, though I suppose Zeke remedies that a bit. Thomas is a nice choice.
Theodore Alexander (Teddy) - While I like both names, the combo seems a bit long. Theodore is very handsome.
Andrew George - I love Andrew! George is nice too. Classic combo.
Abraham Paul (Bram) - Nice flow. Abraham is not my style and Bram is okay.
Charles Oliver (Charlie) - Nice! I love Charles / Charlie.
Samuel Benjamin (Sam) - Very nice flow!
Gideon Paul - Gideon is not my style... seems a bit clunky like Ezekiel.
Archer (Archie) - I love Archer! Middle name suggestions:
Archer Nicholas
Archer William
Archer Nolan
Archer Cole
Archer David
Archer Logan
Archer Louis
Archer Maxwell
Archer Cody
Archer Finn
Archer Matthew
Archer Landon
Archer Paul
Archer Stephen
Phillip - Handsome! Middle name suggestions:
Phillip Stuart
Phillip Anthony
Phillip Ethan
Phillip Easton
Phillip Owen
Phillip Seamus
Phillip Henry
Phillip Charles
Phillip Daniel
Phillip John
Everett (Rhett) - Nice. Rhett is handsome, makes me think of Gone with the Wind Everett is kind of hard for middle names too... but here are some suggestions:
Everett James
Everett Jude
Everett Michael
Everett Daniel
Everett Douglas
Everett Connor
Everett Mason
Everett Sawyer
Everett Lucas
I love your name list! Hope this helps!

You have a lot of nice names on your list! Florence Adelaide is really pretty, and Cordelia Violet works so fabulously together. I've had Gwendolyn Ivy on and off my list - too pretty!! As I mentioned, I have Archer on my list <3 Adore it!! Ezekiel has been growing on me and I love it paired with Thomas. I LOOOOOOVE Theodore, and Theodore Alexander is so handsome! And Charles Oliver is so darn cute <3
Hope I helped!!

I agree that Josephine Kathryn does end a little too similar so here are my new favorites for that one.
Josephine Ruby
Josephine Iris
Josephine Scarlet
Elea is pronounced like Ella but I prefer the spelling Elea because it's in her name.
Eleanor Kathryn (My family inevitably ends up calling girls by their nickname and a shortened version of their middle name and this would work perfectly with that! I also could use Elea-Kate as her nickname all the time if I wanted!)
Eleanor Cadence
Eleanor Poppy
Jessamine Harriet
Jessamine Liesel
Esther Magdalene
Esther Penelope
Esther Naomi
I still love Theodore Alexander but I also really like Yas's suggestion of Theodore Amos.
Archer Caspian
Archer Gregory
Archer Zachary
Phillip Asher
Phillip Gabriel
Everett Spencer
Everett Pierce
Everett Douglas
Yas- You know me so well! Almost all of the names that you suggested are on my super long list
Meghan- Thank you so much for your suggestions!
Remy- I thought that it was really funny that you suggested Everett Scott because that's the professor's name in Rocky Horror Picture Show
