Some great names in here! I love Aurelia, Rowena (but spelled Rowenna), Orion, and Ronan, and I like Fay, Maddalena, Mélisande, Ophélie, Rosaline, Iris, Ondine, Freya, Astrid, Alaric, Valentin, Constantin, and Aurelius.
Of your combos, I'm loving Sylvie Aurelia Fay, Juliette Rowena, and Owen Alaric.

Love Juliette Rowena (though I'd prefer the spelling Rowenna because I'm so used to pronouncing Rowena 'ro•EE•nuh'), Estelle Maddalena, Eva Mélisande, Elena Rosaline, Freya Delphine, Rosalie Astrid, Ronan Evander, Matthias Raphael, Maximilian Arthur, and Valentin.
I also really like Amalia Ophélie, Sebastian Marius Emil, Edmund Orion, and Owen Alaric.

Sylvie Aurelia Fay - This is just perfect. Gorgeous.
Juliette Rowenna - I'm more partial to the Juliet spelling (Juliette, if the bearer is not French-speaking, has always looked a but "much" to me), but the flow is lovely.
Estelle Maddalena - I don't think I've ever seen the Italian form of Magdalene on these boards, but this is gorgeous!
Eva Mélisande - Regardless of whether you're pronouncing the first name EE-vuh or AY-vuh, this is stunning.
Amalia Ophélie - I love Amalia, but I don't like how the ending -a runs into the beginning O of Ophélie (and I'm not a big Ophélie / Ophelia fan, anyway).
Elena Rosaline - It's very pretty, though a bit N-heavy, given that the Ns end both names, essentially.
Adela Marguerite - Utterly beautiful.
Alessia Catharina - These two compete with each other. Alessia Catherine would honestly have better flow, imo. Or Alice Catharina.
Evelina Iris - Like with the other name above, I don't really like how the ending -a of Evelina runs into the beginning I of Iris. But the names are lovely on their own.
Elysia Ondine - I like them separately (Ondine is a welcome surprise), but I don't think they go well together at all. Sorry.
Sebastian Marius Emil - I must be a little more staid in my masculine taste, because while I love Sebastian, I think the middle names here are trying way too hard. Maybe he would've lived in Victorian England, but nowhere else.
Edmund Orion - If this were spelled Edmond Orion, it would be perfection.
Owen Alaric - This feels very Arthurian, I love it!
Ronan Evander - Not normally a fan of Evander, but I like it with Ronan.
Mattias Raphael - I don't think this flows well at all, sorry.
Maximilian Arthur - Even though I really dislike Maximilian ("Max a million!"), I think it pairs well with Arthur.
Not crazy about any of the individual male names on the rest of your list, though. Sorry. But as for your "honorable mentions":
Freya Delphine - It sounds very pretty, but in print I don't like the way the F of Freya pairs with the Ph of Delphine. I think Freya Delfine would be better.
Juliette Rowenna - I'm more partial to the Juliet spelling (Juliette, if the bearer is not French-speaking, has always looked a but "much" to me), but the flow is lovely.
Estelle Maddalena - I don't think I've ever seen the Italian form of Magdalene on these boards, but this is gorgeous!
