Help[Opinions] Odds and Ends
If you could, rather than focusing strictly on the names themselves, tell me what kind of family each combo would fit in. Like, what kind of parents would choose this or that name? (Opinions on the names themselves are cool, too, but they're not what I'm primarily looking for.)
These are mostly for characters, but they are as close to my heart as Claudette Honorah and the rest. :)
Jazz June
June Rose
Apphia Eulalie "Fi"
Petronella Susan "Penny"

Russ Feingold is a hero.

Jazz June - Definitely for a musical family. One or both of the parents are musicians, or they met at a jazz concert, or they just really love jazz music. Or possibly a celebrity's kid.
June Rose - Earthy, funky hippies. Dad drinks fair trade coffee and mom cloth diapers.
Apphia Eulalie "Fi" - Apphia is beautiful! I could see this name on a kid whos parents were really smart and well read and they listen to Yanni. Or they could possibly be in the "Starbucks crowd."
Petronella Susan "Penny" - Upperclass family. But probably "new rich" because it's not as traditional/lastname-y as an older rich family would be.
All of them are really great, by the way. Nice flows and interesting names.

Jazz June: It sounds like a name bored middle-class parents who want to be modern day beatniks would use (although they have absolutely no idea what the beatniks were about). Their the kind who drink lots of coffee (and only the kind they drink France), listen to jazz music (but, in fact, don't really like it and are just listening to it to sound pretentious), and avoid getting real jobs because they want to be interpretive dancers.
June Rose: Pretty name and I agree with MelH. It has a very hippie vibe. I can imagine a character with this name living in a very enviroment-conscious home and eating only organic foods, having to walk home from school because her parents won't by a car, and occasionally seeing her mom and dad in the full monty as they go off to a nudist retreat.
Apphia Eulalie: I've never heard the name Apphia before, but Eulalie will always be connected with the mountains of Tennessee for me. I knew a girl named Eulalie and my grandfather almost married a woman named Eula May, so, to me, its a very Southern name. I mean real back-water, cabin-in-the-Appalachian-Mountains Southern. Where they walk around barefoot, drive around in pick-up trucks, look for UFOs, marry their cousins, shoot things with thirty different types of guns, and wear camouflage every day of the week.
Petronella Susan: Again, I have to agree MelH on this one. It does sound like the name of a wealthy family who trying to appear very wordly. Ever seen the British comedy "Keeping Up Appearances"? If not, then the main character, Hyacinth, is always either telling people that she knows Lord and Lady Such-and-Such, making delivery trucks circle the block for hours so they would be able to deliver all of her "fine things" at the exact same time her neighbors are coming home, and occasionally breaking into Lord and Lady Such-and-Such's mansion so she can meet royalty and move up in society.
That might be a little more detailed than what you wanted, but I hope it helps.

Jazz June - Definitely a fan of jazz. :) Musical in general actually, maybe also a June Carter fan. Or just a fan of the month of June, lol. Unfortunately, many parents today put a "spin" on Jasmine or Jaslyn by turning it into Jazzmyn or Jazzlyn *ugh* so I might at first assume these were tryndee parents who just decided to drop the -myn, maybe? :-/
June Rose - The parents like old-fashioned names and/or word names. Sounds like a rose that bloomed in June.
Apphia Eulalie "Fi" - Cool parents that loved very unusual names that are fun to say.
Petronella Susan "Penny" - Parents that love unusual names with cute nn's. Susan sounds like it may be stuck in there to honor a family member perhaps.
Hope that's what you meant. They're all nice names, not necessarily something I'd use but great for characters and nice to see. :)

Jazz June - very mean parents would choose this. I can't imagine going through life saddled with this one.
June Rose - this sounds like grandmothers are being honored, so very family-oriented parents.
Apphia Eulalie - see Jazz June
Petronella Susan - conflicted parents who can't decide if they want to be wacky or traditional. Petronella sounds like Petrol.
