Congratulations!! I guess everyone has their own preferred method. Personally I think it’s best to list the names you both like and find some mutual loves, similar names, etc. You have a lovely list and you and your partner seem to have similar taste. For example you have [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] on your list and on your partner’s there is [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]. Would you both like [name_f]Amabel[/name_f]? 
Is there any name you’re set on using? Maybe names with personal significance or honour names?
Some suggestions:
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Elianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]

Congrats!
for pairing, most of your names seem to be pretty in-the-middle for length and the same style as well, so the only trouble is finding names that flow well together.
My top picks would be:
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
Congratulations! You have some lovely names on your list. I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] (although I prefer [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] personally), [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], and [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]. I think something like [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] nn [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] or [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]/[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] (or another “lou” name you could both relate to?) might make some common ground. (Personally, I adore [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] nn [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], and I think [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] is adorable!)
When I’m looking, I honestly look everywhere for inspiration. I listen for names used on TV shows and films, I search specific nationalities that interest me on the website behindthename.com (they have really accurate and reliable information regarding names, and are great for finding names from other cultures especially, imo), I read a lot of threads on here, because there’s a wide array of names often being discussed. I used to peruse the American SSA top 1000 (or even beyond the top 1000, for rarer choices), too. If there’s a specific style I’m looking for, I’ll post a thread asking for those, too.
I love @luneth’s suggestion of [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], too–she seems right up your alley!
A few other ideas:
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]

[name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]/[name_f]Georgina[/name_f]/[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
Good luck!
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] or [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]…
for my boy list I went through a couple of baby books and wrote down all of the names I liked, then he went through and crossed out all of the names he didn’t like. We had about 10 after that
I love [name_f]Frances[/name_f] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]!
[name_f]Frieda[/name_f]

I don’t have anybody children of my own (I’m sadly too young to have kids, right now), but for finding combos that I love and will hopefully some day use, I usually have one name in mind (typically the first name) and it tents to take me a very long time to find the other half of the name (typically the middle). I look up on Google middle names for (insert name here) and it really just takes me a lot of searching time and sometimes I’ll see a combo, but it takes a few times of me hearing it to fall in love with it. Since you love [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] and your SO loves [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], I wonder if you’d like [name_f]Eloisa[/name_f] or [name_f]Elouise[/name_f]? For [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Amabel[/name_f]?
Combos from the names you have:
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]/[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]/[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]

I just saw your signature and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] are my top 2 boy names! Hopefully I’ll get to use at least one of them. I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m], as well.
Good luck and happy name hunting!
