Help[Opinions] American Civil War Era Combos - Wdyt?
These are some names I came across on a government website that I just threw together into combos. I was thinking of writing a story after being inspired by 'Cold Mountain,' but wanted to know what you thought of these first.
Eva Frances
Lillian Maude
Ellen Ruth
Nina Pauline
Mathilda Ann
Harriet Jane
Alma Rosalie
Regina Carolyn
Edith Rose
Lena Catherine
Charlotte Susan
Belle Augusta
Inez Estelle
Sylvia Jean
Cordelia Mae
Ivy Rosetta
Antoinette Fern
Yes, these are the same combos from two polls, but I wanted a more..verbal opinion rather than a numerical one. (I did cut three from the list that I didn't care for particularly.) Thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts.

All the combos are not something I would use, but I'll try to comment them as a neutral person does.
Eva Frances - Really traditional name
Lillian Maude - Well done! The fn is 3-syllable, and the mn 1-syllable!
Ellen Ruth - I love Ruth! It is also a pretty and well-made combo.
Nina Pauline - I like Nina, but Paulina doesn't really make sense there...
Mathilda Ann - The last letter of fn and the first letter of mn is same. But it is not that bad, because one a is pronounced "ah" and the other "e".
Harriet Jane - Traditional-sounding names...
Alma Rosalie - Fine!
Regina Carolyn - Well done!
Edith Rose - Try to pronounce it quickly. :P But I like it though
Lena Catherine - Lena doesn't sound like a Civil War Era-name, but maybe it was pretty normal in this period time as well...
Charlotte Susan - No option
Belle Augusta - Sounds like a royal or aristocraic name.
Inez Estelle - Fine, but ee-NEZ es-TEL... I mean, the accents are both at the last syllable, so the combo is not really disgusting.
Sylvia Jean - No option. :S
Cordelia Mae - I'd prefer Cordelia May
Ivy Rosetta - Fine, but in my option Ivy needs a strong mn.(Ivy is one of my favourite names!)
Antoinette Fern - Fine!
Eva Frances - Really traditional name
Lillian Maude - Well done! The fn is 3-syllable, and the mn 1-syllable!

Cordelia Mae is one of my favorite Cordelia combos. (My paternal grandmother had a great aunt by this name/combo.)
I also like/love Lillian Maude, Eva Frances, Harriet Jane, Alma Rosalie, Edith Rose, Lena Catherine, Charlotte Susan, Ivy Rosetta, and Antoinette Fern.
