In the individual names I like:
Sylvie
Rosalie
Saffira (though I'd more likely use Sapphira)
Violet
Seraphina
&
Micah
Kieran
Ethan
Nathaniel
Noah
Isaiah
Ezra
Jonah
(I like most of your boys' names!)
Considering your combos:
The ending 'a' of Nora and beginning 'A' of Aliza run into each other.
Talia Nikita is quite exotic. Not my style, but interesting.
Rosalie Hazel kind of overdoes it with the flower imagery.
Saffira Naomi is lovely!
I'm not terribly fond of Laila (prefer Leila) or Susannah individually, but this isn't an objectionable pairing.
I definitely prefer Micah Emmanuel to the other one - it flows so much better.
Kieran Joseph is a name that is a bit modern but still fits in among more "traditional" names.
Is Sikander another form of Alexander? I'm unfamiliar with it. Of the other two Noah combos, Robert has a better flow.
Ethan Remiel is awesome! I also think it looks better when written out than Ethan Isaiah.
Jonah Forest isn't too bad (I see you are quite fond of the idea of Forest as a middle name), but it does appear to be "mixing genres."
Sylvie
Rosalie
Saffira (though I'd more likely use Sapphira)
Violet
Seraphina
&
Micah
Kieran
Ethan
Nathaniel
Noah
Isaiah
Ezra

Thanks for all your input! To respond to a few comments...
I've noticed the running of syllables with Nora Aliza (prn a-LEEZ-a) and it's an an issue that I'm still considering. It seems some people are a fan of the running syllables in certain cases and some have a rule against it. I know of a Tina Aliza in real life and quite like the sound even if I dislike Tina as a name.
Nikita and Sikander are South Asian names. My SO is Christian Pakistani. Sikander is the Pakistani form of Alexander and would be honoring. Kieran is both an Irish and Pakistani name btw, though most often spelled Kiran by South Asians and pronounced roughly "keer-RUN." I would intend for people to use both pronunciations as desired.
I'm glad you like Ethan Remiel. I liked it but was hesitant because Remiel is so obscure.

Nora, Rosalie, Saffira, and Kieran are my favorites. I also love Nikita, but I think of the Russian usage and therefore it is quintessentially male to me.
Favorite combinations: Rosalie Hazel, Saffira Naomi, and Kierana Joseph,
