I'm from Britain and Eleanor, Florence, Clementine and Jemima are quite common names here, though, save Eleanor, not hugely popular. I like all four combos; all the names are rather "British" and work together very well. Though I'm yet to meet someone with three MNs.

Names of my friends that I consider rather "British":

---

Isabella
Harriet
Lucy
Abigail
Alexandra
Camilla
Alice
Annabel
Charlotte
Sophia
Rebecca
Caroline
Emily
Helena
Lydia
Philippa
Olivia
Emma
Francesca
Georgia/Georgina
Joanna

Yes, they sound sort of British. I like the 3rd set best. Clementine, Elizabeth, Cecilia & Jane. My boyfriend is British and his name is Stephen. He moved here when he was 11. And one of my best friends I met over in England, she was born & raised there, and her name is Louise. Hope this helps!

(i'm from the UK) People here usually have two first names. Three is less common, though still fairly normal; but four first names is practically unheard of outside the royal family. So I'd choose two-name or three-name combos.

---

The names themselves are all fine individually and could quite comfortably belong to children being born anywhere in the UK right now, although Eugenie is really unusual here and I wouldn't say it was a typical English name, and Jane isn't popular either, as it's seen as dated.

---

Sempiternitas has already covered most of the names that would fit with those you already have. I'd add Julia, Matilda and maybe Emilia.

I don't think they necessarily sound British. I just think they sound old fashioned.

---

Also, in my opinion three middle names is just way too much. None of those seem like combos, they just seem like random lists of names.

---

Individually I like:
Eugenie
Florence
Henrietta
Cecilia Jane - great together
Jemima
Beatrice - love this

I prefer three to four names in the combo - four is overdone.
I would ditch Eugenie, Florence, Clementine, and Beatrice.

I think they all sound pretty British, except maybe for Jemima and Clementine. Three middle names is a bit much though. If I were to change it, I'd make it this:

---

Eleanor Amelia Catherine
Florence Louisa Imogen
Elizabeth Cecilia Jane
Beatrice Victoria Emmeline

---

Other names that would fit in:
Alice, Primrose, Lucy, Emilia, Mary, Johanna, Rose, Beth, Lillian, Margaret, Eliza, Adelaide, Adele, Elaine
