The groovy:
Flower
Liberty (but not with Bella, haha)
Melody
Sky/e
Sterling
Pippin
Neo
The grievous:
Autumn Rayne - this is SUCH a cliche. Yuck
Fall - one of those unfortunate names that will too often sound like a humorous command. "Fall, don't run on the pool deck"
Raisin - unfortunate racial-reference association
Serinity - cringeworthy spelling error. For shame!
Peaches - way tacky sexualized image, either that or a dog name... inadequate IMO
Blueberry - similarly inadequate IMO
Rhythm - oh, my.
Roux - you're kidding me. Seems like about the same as naming a child Mirepoix or Aioli. Besides, Rue is femme, isn't it?
Flower
Liberty (but not with Bella, haha)
Melody

I wouldn't use Roux, but I don't think it's that bad, I'm pretty sure it is a boys' name - it's the name of Johnny Depp's character in the movie Chocolat (also in the book I think).

It's a place name/surname
But that doesn't change my feeling about it. For many English speakers there would still a pretty strong association with gravy.
Actually, it having been the (unusual) name of a recent Depp character makes it rather less appealing to me... like it was just taken wholesale from the film/book. Since I'm not familiar with the place/surname, I egocentrically assume the namers aren't either.
I admit I may also be petulant about it because I am fond of the femme name Rue, and because I feel that names with a distinctly French spelling are unbearably pretentious and superficial on non-French speakers (in the US where I live -- I'm assuming this boy "Roux" is in the US and not French speaking). Like Margeaux. Ugh!

Comments:
Ellis Marie- the Elle part dosen't make this name feminine.

Mystery Hope- she's a hopeful mystery
Starlight & Sunshine [twins]- child abuse

Adream: And her sister Lifissbutta?
Ariel Angelic: For some reason this name puts me in mind of Ella Enchanted.
Autumn Rayne: Not again!
English Ann: Strangely enough, I once ran across an old woman's name, English Elaine. I still think it's awful to name somebody a designation like that. I mean, Chinese Marie? Polish Leroy?
Fall: So what's so wrong with Autumn? At least it doesn't sound like the kid is going to trip and land on her face.
February Sky: In the Eastern US the February Sky is not a very pretty sight.
Flower: Great name for a skunk.
Isa Ivette: Talk about awkward soudning.
Jade Kate: Not that this one's any better.
Liberty Bella: Folks, remember: the Liberty Bell was poorly made and couldn't be rung with it cracking.
Meldoy Joy: A bit corny b tu both names are so pretty.
Memorie: Naming a kid Memory or some variation of it is rather creepy.
Miracle Kaye: All I can think of is Special K cereal.
Moon Child: Born in the back of a minibus in 1969 on the way to Woodstock. Please.
Mystery Hope: Nobody knows where this one was born. Somebody found her on their doorstep ina Playmate cooler or something.
Peaches: Good name for a cat, good name for a stripper. Not a good name for a nice young lady.
Raisin: Oh god! This is terrible! Would you name a kid Prune?
Raven Dawn: Sits alone in her incense-reeking bedroom, cutting herself and writing sad poems with her own blood.
Star Gazer: Ick.
Starlight and Sunshine: Are they twin horses?
Starshine: I knew of a woman named Starrie Schein, pronounced like this.
Summer Angel Aphrodite: Future "fitness model" (read: nude model with lots of muscles)
Austin Dakota: A bit of a Western obsession here. Also some geographical ambiguity.
Blueberry: Is the mother a slow-witted twelve-year-old?
Cree Dakota: Last name Levandowski, life-long resident of Upper-Avon-Upon-Harlow Connecticut.
Destiny Ray: That is not going to go too well...
Fate Garren: Likely to be called Fat Garren.

I can actually use LOL and mean it, because that's what I did at "a president spelled backwards". I just wonder if his parents noticed or if they really just liked the names James and Madison and didn't remember a certain fourth president.
Also, it's wrong how amused I am by the idea of little Madison James, Liberty Bella and English Ann playing together on the playground. Talk about playground politics!

Pippin
I think Pippin is a nice nn for Peregrine (&hearts), but as a full name, I agree that it's a little tacky.
