Looks like a prank. I’d rather keep my own name thanks…

Love Clarice Zelma!
I'd be:
Ruby Mary Dorothy Annie
That's a lot of -ee sounds in a row! Sounds awful, but I like Ruby

Nancy Constance or Charles Michael.
The MNs are okay, but the FNs are definitely in my rubbish pile.
Nancy Constance is very old-fashioned, whereas Charles Michael is just boring.
Edit: If I was from the USA, I'd be Marie Laura or Walter Philip. Marie Laura is no better. At least Walter Philip is quite nice

Katheryn Annie
This is funny to me because my middle name is Katherine XD

My name didn't chart, until fifteen years after I was born.
In 1996 it charted at 939. I'll use that
That means I'd be Fae Doris or Hayes Richard
My daughter would be Virgie Margie Vonda or Mitchell Oscar Florentino
My husband would be Roland Gerald or Nellie Hazel
I like Oscar Florentino.

Wow, Virgie Margie Vonda is special! Never forget it.
Fae Doris is so cute.

Marie Annette. I was wondering why the name sounded kind of familiar, and then I realized it's just a couple letters of separation from Marie Antoinette lol. I actually like it, though! This Marie Annette sounds like a sweet, demure, and humble gal.
My male name would have been Walter Burton. Considering that I'm actually fond of the name Walter, I love it! This combo sounds very classic, golden-age Hollywood.
I love this game because it's a good brainstorming exercise, it removes you from the rut of overdone, dime-a-dozen combos and pairs really unexpected names together. Sometimes they clash, but sometimes they're DAZZLING.

I love this game too, and you're exactly right - it shakes things up and sometimes you find some refreshing ideas!
Marie Annette is really sweet, I agree with your assessment of it.

Dorothy Joy - cute!
Super cute!
I would have been Billy Fred (LOL) or Juanita Gladys.
Oooh Juanita Gladys! I love that, so colorful!
I knew you would!
Oh dear: Wilma Myrtle. And my putative twin brother would have been Lloyd Arnold. The only name I like even slightly is Lloyd.
Aww, Wilma Myrtle is adorable.
You like it? You can have it! It's yours!
I'll take it!

Virginia. I hate it, sorry.
I would be Katherine Leone, which is really pretty. However, I view Leone as a male name, and prefer Leona for a girl. Katherine is my real name, so I find it funny that it stayed the same.
I quite like Katherine Leone, it feels very sophisticated.
I used statistics of my country
I would be Hanna!
Using American statistics with spelling Anastasia: Leila
I like Hanna, Leila is okay.
ETA: as male I would be Mykola (Ukrainian), or American has no 367 just two 366 and 368, which are Emory, Teddy, Mary, Truman. I love Mykola, only one from America chart I would tolerate is Mary.
