Hadassah is gorgeousI know a little Hadassah Josephine who was born just last May. I was soooo happy when I heard what they named her. :-)If I'm restricted in using only names from your list for the combinations, this would be my dream team:Hadassah Melody, Esther Mercy, Malachi Jonas and Tobias Eli.If I'm allowed to wonder off the ranch:Hadassah Judith, Esther Miriam, Malachi Reuel and Tobias Nathaniel.

For the boys Malachi and Michah for sure!!! I LOVE these two names and they would be so cute for twins!!Not a fan of your girl names, but if I had to choose I would pick
Lydia and Aubrey.

Elias nn Eli and CianLydia and EstherLydia and Elias nn EliFor some reason Cian doesn't seem to go with the other names so I almost suggested Elias and Aaron for bb twins. Please don't spell Cian as Kian it looks so ugly. I also don't like a nickname for Cian.The only nicknames on your list I can stand are Eli for Elias (even though I'd prefer just Eli or just Elias with no nn), Tobias nn Toby, Shiloh nn Shi and Lydia nn Lyddie. I wonder why you need a nickname for every name ? Essie is terrible, in my opinion and Esther is pretty. So why destroy a lovely name like Esther by calling her Essie ? Lyddie for Lydia is ok but Lydia also doesn't need a nn as it's perfect on its own. I mean I can understand people using nicknames for long names like Anastasia or Alexandria but otherwise it's so not necessary.But if you really love nn's so much:Aaron - Ari, Ron or Ronnie. I rather like Ron since Harry Potter.
Hosea - you could get nn's out of this one but I wouldn't force it. This is a no nickname name to me.

Elias MalachiPersonally, I'd only use the nn 'Eli' with these names, and only occasionally. The others don't really seem to need nicknames at all, and I like them better as is.

Malachi, Shiloh, Esther, Lydia.Mix and Match. It would be very unlikely if I used any nicknames for any of them.
