Edited to add spaces between colons and first names so first names would show up as hyperlinks. Edited again to change "Jonas Augustus" to "Jonas Graham" because "Jonas Augustus" has really bad flow.

I seem to be in the minority on this, but I don't pronounce Vivienne the same as Vivian. They're different names to me (variants), not just different spellings of the same name.

DD: Adela Sofia - sounds familiar.. it's ok
DD: Gianna Valentina - ok, it flows nicely, but I'm not a fan of Italian names that start with Gi-
DD: Calista Azure, "Calla" - nice, I like all the names, but the -a A- clashes a bit imo
DD: Vienne Maria (or Vienna Maria?) - I'd go with either Vianne or Vienna on this one, I liek Vienne, but not Maria (one of my own mns, and the one I like least)
DD: Henna Corinne - I associate Henna with the paint used in religious practise, so for me it's not a great name, the combo itself has a nice flow
Sisters Ivy, Adela, Gianna, Calla, Vienne (/Vienna), and Henna (sister Henna and Vienna wouldn't be great imo)
DS: Thomas Noel - nms
DS: Elijah Roman, probably "Eli" - I think Roman is lovely, but I don't like Elijah
DS: Isaiah Soren - I like Soren, Isaiah not so much (Soren Isaiah and Roman Elijah?)

I was just going with J & T for the time being. I have been focusing on names that start with those letters. My husband and I have been talking and thought that someday when we have children we could give them names that would have our initials. It is just a thought at the moment. JE and TL. These could change though.

I'll do the rest when I have more time :)
Junia Briseis Elodie "Junie" - very lovely! Although Junie seems to insult the beauty of the other names. Oh, and how exactly do you pronounce Briseis? Is it just bris-ICE?
Noa Lovisa Kerensa - very pretty. None of the names are my style, but they are still beautiful.
Iris Odilia Winter - Odilia is very, very not my style, but it's not horrid. Iris and Winter are gorgeous.
Morgana Soraya Vera - stunning! My only complaint is that there's a bit much -a sound, but it's so pretty I don't think it really matters.
Era Catharina Vianne - What a lovely flow! I very much love it.
Leila Philomena Juliet - the style of the different names seem to clash to me (mostly Philomena) but maybe that's just me. Leila and Julie are very pretty.
And I pronous Briseis as something in between bree-SAYS and bree-SIE-is. In Dutch I ought to type Briseïs to get the right pronunciation, but I think that the dots sort of ruin the beauty of the name.
Odilia is the only name I like even a bit to honour my aunt Wilhelmina Odilia "Wilma". I think Wilma sounds very dated and Wilhelmina sounds even more archaic...
Leila Philomena Juliet is clearly the last combo, I liked Leila something Juliet, and wanted to put something in there that would have a vague reference to my dad (Philippus Marinus Petrus "Flip"), I don't care much for Philippa or Petra, and I would liek to reserve Marino for if I ever have a boy (Boaz Marino Constantine) otherwise I might consider Leila Marina Juliet.
btw I say Philomena as fee-lo-MAY-nah:
Morgana Soraya Vera
Leila Philomena Juliet
Jochem Firenze Romeo
Junia Odilia Elodie
Noa Lovisa Kerensa
Oscar Santiago Andreas
I think the meanings you have behind your names are really awesome, too. I go back and forth between using a lot of meaning names and thowing meaning out the window. I think the fact that you have names that are really meaningful to you is very cool.

I like the use of Augusta as a first name. It seems more bold that way. I'm usually too much of a chicken to wield it in the first name place so I relegate it to the middle, if I ever feel like experimenting with it.

Ophelia* Hannah - I adore the name Ophelia, Hannah's not really my style but I like the fact that it honours.
Serena* Annabella Marie - Very nice. I love Serena and Annabella.
Benjamin*
Callum Lorcan James* - Very handsome. Callum's been growing on me a lot lately, as is Lorcan and I love James as a mn.
Hadrian Leander Heath* - I adore Leander and Heath is my favourite boys name ATM. Hadrian's very handsome but I personally prefer Adrian.
Julian Alexander Leo* - Usually, I find Julian quite feminine sounding but this combo has changed my mind. Its very handsome and I love it.
Roman Everett Troy** - This is my favourite of your boys combos. Very strong and masculine sounding, IMO.

Lily's not particularly one of my favorites but Lily Patricia is pretty. Patricia rarely strikes me as being pretty (even though it's my mother's name and I feel like I ought to think well of it) but it's sound is at it's nicest with a simple, feminine first name. Lily fits that bill quite well, I think.
Along similar lines I like Rose Patricia and Jane Patricia.

This is tough...I have a lot of favorit names, but not many that I would actually use.
GIRLS
Adelaide nn Addy
Noelle nn Nell
Isabella nn Ibbie
Letitia nn Letty (maybe)
Bride nn Bridie (another maybe)
Grace (new fave!)
I also like Eunice a lot but I don't think I would have the courage to use it. I think I'd need a nn first.
BOYS
Edward
Nicholas nn Nick
Ephraim (maybe)
William
James (another maybe)
Christian (yet another maybe)
There's the possibility that Caleb could take the spot of one of the names on the list.
MIX
Adelaide
Noelle

I think I might've told you this before--must've been you, because how often does Rocco make people's list?--but I really like seeing Rocco out there. It's not one of my favorites necessarily, just one that I like to see. :-)
Theron Benedict is a very neat combo. Benedict always runs the risk to me of being too much on the nerdy or pope-y side, but Theron is cool enough to tamp down that image.

I also like/love*
Peter Joachim
Ferdinand Michael* - I love this almost as much as Claude Oskar. I think that the only reason Claude Oskar is my favourite is because of my love for Monet.
Robert Luther
Demetrius* - This is on my PNL but I can never decide whether I like this or Dmitri better.
Virginia Laure
Pearl
Susannah Scarlett* - Beautiful.
Evelyn
Katharine Amethyst* - Amethyst has been growing on me lately. This makes a stunning combo.
All very beautiful and handsome. I love the nns, too, especially Freddie and Ginger =)

Any middle name suggestions for Winona? I can't come up with anything that I like except for the occassional nature or floral name, and I'm not really into that enough to go with it. :-/

I'm going to use my Personal Name List for that last set. It's a collection of names that I like that aren't exactly my regulars (most of them at least) and are ones I tend to forget I like. I'd go with:

I love Eve, Katharine, Edmond (prefer Edmund), Ptolemy, Ingeborg, and...Edelweiss. I've been thinking about that as a name lately. It's strange to see it on the board.
BTW, Pleasant and Angelorum make for fabulous mns. I never would've thought of them. Are you at all concerned that Michael and James are a bit pedestrian compared to your other mns?
Not particularly. I try to go for a balance of names generally considered "normal" and names generally considered rather "out there", so I wouldn't feel too bad about having sons like Morpheus Michael and Nathaniel Pleasant or daughters like Katharine Angelorum and Ruxandra Mary. Each combo has a "normal" name (though if it's in the FN spot, there's a good chance that my preferred nickname for it isn't all that common), and each combo has a "weird" name. Both names appeal to me a great deal--a lot of the "normal" ones are family names, and being named after my father (Michael) or my grandfather (James) offers as cool of explanations as being named after a favourite book character (Ptolemy) or graphic novel heroine (Evey).
If little Ruxi grew up and demanded to be Mary, I wouldn't be unhappy agreeing to call her that. Similarly, if Simon grew up and felt more like a Clair, I'd be equally pleased to refer to him by his middle name. If that makes sense? :)
Thanks for your comments!

DS: Owen - it bores me actually.

As for mns, they're currently going through some changes, so my poor babies will just have to go without for now :)

November
Temperance
Sterling - on a boy
Silver - more as a nn for Silvia, or on a boy
River
[October doesn't strike me as very feminine and I definitely wouldn't put October & November in the same sibset! Themey sibsets are one of my pet peeves!]
DD: November -- Prefer this to October.
DD: Hyzenthlay -- Reminds me of the male name Hythloday, meaning "expert in nonsense". Not doing it for me.
DD: Temperance -- Prefer as a middle name.
DD: Sterling -- Doesn't strike me as particularly attractive.
DD: Silver -- Not as a sister to Sterling. Would prefer as a middle name.
DS: River -- Fine. Prefer it on a girl atm.
DS: Hazel -- Would prefer as a middle name for a boy.
DS: Genesis -- Like the world needs any more reminders of Phil Collins than it already has.
DS: Koi -- Short form of the Japanese word "koibito", the word for "lover." Not a good choice--and I assure you that I won't be the only one who knows this. ;) I knew a kid named Coy, and while I don't think the English word "coy" is much of an improvement, I'd much rather see that.
DS: Sage -- Eh, trendy and not my style but not bad.
DS: Basil -- Love it. After reading The Picture of Dorian Grey, it was a favourite of mine.
