GIRLS:
Nice:
Isadora--It's a mix of Isabella which is modern and classy, and the name is self is beautiful and classy. It's elegant and not over used.
Elizabeth--Classic, you can't not love it. It's a little overused so that's why I like Isadora more, but otherwise, it's just plain ole` beautiful.
Margaret--It's okay, but I love that you can use Maggie or Meggie or Meg as a nickname because those are super cute!
Corabeth--Decent name. People these days love adding Beth at the end or names (i.e. Annabeth, Elizabeth, Maribeth, and Sarabeth). I really like Cora, so I don't see why you can't add a Beth to that.
Isobel: More modern with a twisted spelling. I like it.
Ehh:
Carlotta: It doesn't sound right but I think it's really pretty otherwise. I always get confused how to pronounce it.
Bad:
The others don't appeal at all. They all sound WAY to "old fashioned". That's just one thing. The other is that I don't think they sound very pretty either. Sybil just sounds like a sound effect. (I hope I don't sound to rude
)
BOYS:
I actually like all of the boys names you presented. They all seem very handsome and classy. All of them are not too old-fashioned which, I for one, enjoy about them.
I hope I didn't sound too negative, I was just stated my opinion! I hope this helps!

The only ones I strongly dislike are Corabeth (just not a fan, personally) and Sybil (sounds un-ladylike to me).
