Catherine
I'm probably going to stand alone, but I think Alyssa Alexandra Odette Perry. Usually that would be far too many A sounds in rapid succession, but I think it works and actually enhances Alyssa - a name I find pretty but a bit trend-dated. Alexandra gives it a bit more regality.
After that, Catherine.
The others don't work for me. I'm a weirdo, I know, but I need names to have an "n" sound in them. Sophie, Maree, and Gabrielle lacks that, and the name then sounds unnecessarily harsh. Kaitlyn feels too much like a dated trend as Alyssa, so that doesn't work for me.

I still choose Alyssa Kaitlyn. The two names are really in sync stylistically and I like them both individually.
Not Alexandra, with a vowel at each end, colliding with the -a and the O-.
Catherine is my choice. Beautiful, timeless name, with consonants first and last.
AlySSa GabrieLLe OdeTTe has too many double consonants.
Kaitlyn, Maree and Sophie all have two syllables each, like Odette and Perry. And Maree and Sophie end in vowels which merge with Odette.
Alyssa Catherine Odette would be my choice, but if it actually was, I'd use Alicia, Alice or Alison rather than Alyssa.
Second choice, Alyssa Mary (rather than Maree) Odette.
Third choice, Alyssa Sophie Odette, but once again I'd prefer Sophia.
I'd also avoid Kaitlyn/Caitlyn/Caitlin. Too trendy, like Alyssa.

My favourite are:
1. Catherine
2. Sophie
3. Kaitlyn
I think these names flow best between Alyssa and Odette. Catherine is sophisticated and elegant. Kaitlyn is modern and cool. Sophie is the middle ground.

Alyssa Gabrielle Odette Perry is my favorite.
i love, in this order, Alyssa Gabrielle Odette Perry, Alyssa Catherine Odette Perry, Alyssa Alexandra Odette Perry , Alyssa Sophie Odette Perry - beautifully flowing, although Sophie may strike some people as a little hissy after A;yssa. Maree goes nicely too but personally I prefer Marie as it's more classic.
