Here’s my short list for girls- I’m having real trouble trying to put them together into viable combinations. I’m open to two- or three-name suggestions. If there’s any I’d only use as a middle, I’ve put (middle) next to it. Anything else is usable in first or middle place. No last name consideration necessary. Nickname ideas are welcome too; my own ideas are in parentheses next to the full name.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Mercy[/name_f]
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] ([name_f]May[/name_f])
[name_f]Viviane[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f] ([name_u]Paz[/name_u])
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] (Zalie)
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f]
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] ([name_f]Willa[/name_f])
[name_u]Paz[/name_u] (middle, unless used as a nickname for [name_f]Paloma[/name_f])
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] (maybe only middle? could be a pretty first tho)
[name_f]Loire[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] ([name_f]Juno[/name_f])
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]
[name_u]Rue[/name_u] (middle)
[name_u]Valentine[/name_u] -like the holiday! (middle)
Thanks for any and all suggestions, ideas, and advice Please note my favorite boys’ names are in my signature along with the girls’. Feel free to suggest any good boys’ combinations that pop out at you, even though this post is for my favorite girls’ names.

I like the sound of [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], as well as the combination of meanings. It makes me think of a beautiful dove flying around a juniper tree
Short, one- or two-syllable names like [name_u]Paz[/name_u] and [name_f]Luna[/name_f] make great middle names, I think. I really like:
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_u]Paz[/name_u] – sounds unique and exotic; also sounds kind of [name_m]French[/name_m] or Italian to me
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Rue[/name_u] – sounds a bit like a grandma name, but I think it still has some edge and style to it
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] [name_u]Rue[/name_u] – has an exotic, tropical-y feel to it
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] – sounds very pretty and feminine to me; kind of an old lady name, though
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] [name_u]Rue[/name_u] – I don’t really know how to describe it, but this name sounds both old-fashioned and modern at the same time
And you might also like some of these names in general; they seem to match your style:
Zhara (can also be spelled [name_f]Zara[/name_f])
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_u]Calypso[/name_u]
[name_f]Venus[/name_f]

Wilhelmina - Willa

I like all your choices except Wilhelmina and Florence. They aren’t awful, I just like the others better. Did you know that Rue means regret?
Calliope Violet (Callie/Calli)
Viviane Lace or Grace
Viviane Calypso (Viviane means life and Calypso means beautiful enchantress = Life’s Beautiful Enchantress). Nickname could be Vica or Vivica, Viv, Vi, Viann.
Viviane Mercy (Life’s Mercy is such a lovely sentiment.)
