Hello! [name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I have managed to accumulate quite a few names that we love and could see ourselves using for our little girl and now we could use some help with narrowing the list.
If you could either rank them from favorite to least favorite or rate the individual names out of 10 (10 being best, 1 being worst) that would be extremely helpful!
The list:

Mabel, Margot, Freya, Elodie and Esme are gorgeous and flow beautifully with Europa Shelby!
Tess, Romy and Asha don’t go well with Shelby, in my opinion. I’m afraid that Ines and Giselle collide with the surname as well. I love Cleo but Cleo Europa and Pax Europa sound like a company or a car brand, unfortunately. All the other options are lovely and sweet!
you have a great list! I’ll rate them from most favorite to least favorite, because I always feel bad giving names people love low scores!

I’m not super great at rankings and ratings, so I grouped the names into fave/meh/nope categories with explanations of why. I hope that’s still helpful, even though it wasn’t exactly what you asked for!
The favorites:
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - love the musical lilt! I’m not usually a fan of alliteration, but because Eu makes a very different sound than [name_f]El[/name_f], it doesn’t bother my ear. This has fantastic flow!
[name_f]Esme[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - [name_f]Esme[/name_f] is a sweet, lovely, uncommon classic, and the combo has great flow.
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - I love the name [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] but cannot use it due to personal associations. Really happy to see this one on your list!
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - I am loving [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] for you!! It’s unusual, but familiar, wearable, and easily pronounced. I also love the repeating long O sounds.
[name_f]Lenore[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - [name_m]Just[/name_m] beautiful! I love the rhythm and repeating long O sounds, and I appreciate the classical elegance and the hint of drama that [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] brings to the combo.
[name_f]Coraline[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - Another gorgeous choice! I love that [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] is a little dreamy, a little spunky, and an unusual twist on familiar sounds. Plus it’s got that repeating long O sound that I seem to really gravitate towards.
The mehs:
[name_u]Briar[/name_u] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - I absolutely adore the name [name_u]Briar[/name_u], and this would be in my faves if it weren’t for the tangly sounds of the -ar ending next to the Eur- beginning.
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - Nothing wrong with this combo, and the repeating long O sounds are nice. I just don’t care for [name_f]Margot[/name_f].
[name_f]Tess[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - I am biased towards [name_f]Tess[/name_f] because it’s my partner’s name. Otherwise this combo would probably be a nope for me, given the way [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] runs together and gets hissy.
[name_u]Romy[/name_u] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - is this pronounced Rah-mee or Roh-mee? If the latter, I think it’s a solid combo, just not my personal favorite. If the former, I rather dislike it. But that’s personal preference rather than an issue with the sound and flow.
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - I personally don’t care for [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] at all, and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] is a bit choppy.
[name_f]Ines[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - Nothing wrong with the flow of this combo. I just personally do not care for [name_f]Ines[/name_f] and think you have far better options on your list.
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - I think [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is absolutely gorgeous, strong and sweet, ancient but fresh. The only reason this isn’t in the faves category is the muddiness of the -ya ending next to the Eu- beginning.
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - I’m not sure why this isn’t in the faves, because I like the name [name_u]Eden[/name_u] and the combo has good flow. I just don’t love it for some reason.
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - Nothing wrong with the sound and flow, but there are other names on your list that I like much more than [name_f]Mabel[/name_f].
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - I just really do not care for [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], and find her a very odd stylistic match with Europa.
The nopes:
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - love [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], but the flow is really ponderous and clunky
[name_u]Pax[/name_u] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - This one is largely due to personal preference, so take with a grain of salt. I just really dislike [name_u]Pax[/name_u] as a first name, especially for a girl, and [name_u]Pax[/name_u] [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] gets really hung up between the -x ending and the Sh- beginning. Plus you have other choices that are far superior!
[name_f]Asha[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - the flow is really choppy, and [name_f]Asha[/name_f] [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] is a bit of a tongue twister.
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] Europa [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] - I don’t care for [name_f]Giselle[/name_f], and [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] gets hung up with the -selle and [name_u]Shel[/name_u]- sounds back-to-back
Cassia Europa - 8
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] Europa - 8
[name_f]Margo[/name_f] Europa (doesn’t flow quite as well but we not a deal breaker as we rarely say our names together) - 7
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] Europa - 8
Otherwise this combo would probably be a nope for me, given the way [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_u]Shelby[/name_u] runs together and gets hissy.
