To me, Rebecca stands out. I don't mind the name itself (In fact I think it's a very nice one- they all are, but I think its beautiful in its own way). I guess I just picture it more in a set of other extremly common, generic names, or names that aren't as elegant or grand as Anastasia is. Lily on the other hand would fit into either set. It compliments both Rebecca and Anastasia but in different ways.

I'd prefer Anneliese and Rebekah.

Yes, they flow nicely together. Lily is slightly to short compared to them but there are many names that lily can be short for like Lilith, which is only a bit longer, or Lilianne or Lilianna.

I like all 3 names, but I think Lily is too short and cutesy compared to the others. Liliana would work well

I think Anastasia and Rebecca work okay together, despite the former feeling, to me, more formal than the latter. I also like Rebecca and Lily together. Anastasia and Lily feel very different to me, so I would prefer Lilia alongside, but I wouldn’t let the difference stop me if I really loved all three names. My only other impression of real difference, beside formal feel, is in temperature; Rebecca and Lily both strike me as warm, where Anastasia feels winter-y, but that’s probably just me.

They aren't glaringly different from each other, but Anastasia is glaringly different from Lily.
I really like Rebecca and would use it. It's not the height of fashion right now, like Lily is, but it's one of those names that will never really be unstylish.
Anastasia is okay but has a cold, high-handed vibe to it that I don't care for. Rebecca is very down to earth and Anastasia is hard to relate to. I loved the Anastasia Krupnik series when I was a kid, but that still didn't warm me to the name.
I don't like Lily very much at all. It's too sickly sweet and cutesy, and getting to be a fairly common dog or cat name.

I love both Rebecca and Anastasia

I think Lily is a bit short, the two syllables helps, but still short IF you're not counting nicknames

Because honestly, you'll end up with nicknames regardless; Becky; Bex; Becca and Anna

Becky, Anna and Lily

Perhaps you could elongate Lily? Lilian or Lilianna? so you still get Lily, but also it don't look so weird being so short in comparison?

double post somehow

Love both, yes very different style and image, but not everyone cares about that. I'd feel kind of bad for a sister of Anastasia and Rebecca who had a one syllable name, but Lily is two syllables and doesn't suffer in comparison IMO.
