I really like [name_f]Liana[/name_f]/[name_f]Lianna[/name_f]. It’s one I would consider using, though I’d probably use the second spelling to use the family name [name_f]Ann[/name_f].
My favourite combinations with each of the first names are:
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Liana[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] (not normally a fan of alliteration names, but the flow here is lovely because of the different sounds)
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] ([name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is nice, but I’m not particularly fond of it with either of your desired middle names
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
My top two are [name_f]Liana[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] and [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
I love the name [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and like it best of your choices. I like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] but love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] 
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] would be lovely!!
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is my favorite!
I like [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or [name_f]Lianna[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]! Both are stunning.
The Game of Thrones series has given me a new appreciation for the name [name_f]Liana[/name_f] (it’s spelled Lyanna in the show and books but pronounced the same), which I previously dismissed as a dated name, grouping it in with [name_f]Leeann[/name_f]/[name_f]LeAnn[/name_f]/[name_f]Leanne[/name_f] names. It has a pretty sound, and it’s simple and multicultural. I prefer [name_f]Liana[/name_f] to [name_f]Lianna[/name_f], which I would assume had a different pronunciation (‘lee-[name_f]ANNE[/name_f]-a’ vs ‘lee-[name_m]AH[/name_m]-na’).
The only name I dislike on your list is [name_f]Violet[/name_f], which has always reminded me of ‘violent’.
I voted [name_f]Violet[/name_f] but [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is a very close 2nd place for me. Good luck. [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] names.
I really like [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], it’s so spunky and fun and refreshing. I’ve never been the biggest fan of [name_f]Violet[/name_f], and I don’t like the look of [name_f]Liana[/name_f] even though I like the sound. [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is pretty but not as interesting as [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]. [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] would make a great combo!
I second [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]. It’s beautiful, classic, and classy.
I voted [name_f]Violet[/name_f] but also like [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] or [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] the best. I think [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is the most classic name. I love the nickname [name_f]Lydie[/name_f].
My favourite is [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] is my favorite! I love it! [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is my second favorite.
I think [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is exquisite!
I voted for [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], but I would have voted for [name_f]Violet[/name_f] as well if I could. [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]. (Or [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f], I’m rather partial to alliteration).
I like them all, but [name_f]Liana[/name_f] comes with spelling variations, which puts it at #3 for me. [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] last, just personal preference.
One thing to note: [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Liana[/name_f] kind of cancel each other out; you probably wouldn’t use one after the other. Same for [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], they just sound so similar. So if any one of those is suddenly jumping out and you’re thinking, “No! I can’t lose that one!” then I’d say make that your choice, and you have three beautiful back-ups in case it just doesn’t fit when she arrives.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] would be exquisite! I just could never get tired of [name_f]Violet[/name_f]! Runner-up for me is [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], which is feminine, grounded and elegant like [name_f]Violet[/name_f], but less delicate and sweet. [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or even the alliterative [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] would be very beautiful. Of the other options I like [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] less. For me it just doesn’t roll off the tongue easily and I get tongue tied for a reason. Best of luck!
Thanks to all for your input! [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] was my favorite combination in the end, followed closely by [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]. I was concerned about pronunciation/spelling/House [name_m]Stark[/name_m] associations for [name_f]Liana[/name_f].
DH ended up having a strong preference for [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], so that’s actually where we ended up!
