Primrose and Sebastian.

Maude is dire.

Harriet with perhaps Etta as a NN.

Anne is nice too, especially with NN Annie.

Amy are Carolynn are both dated 70s names.
Maude is awful imo.

Primrose is a bit twee imo, and the S at the end runs into the S of Sterling.

For boys, I like Luke, Seamus and Samuel (NN Sam?)
The S ending of Seamus isn't an issue as the last syllable has a short schwa vowel sound unlike the long O of Primrose.

So Harriet or Anne plus Seamus or Luke or Samuel.

Meant to add -- I'm not really keen on Sebastian as I dislike the NN Seb. Also, Sebastian Stirling would be a bit of a mouthful.
Alexander -- there are loads of them around here, so many it's almost the default name. It's nice though, with Stirling.
Frank is nice but I would use Francis for the BC.

Theodore -- should have added this to the list of boy names I like, sorry..

Maude is awful and Frank doesn't sound like a baby name

Adore frank and Maude

Sebastian and hennrietta Stirling sounds great. Seb and Etta

This is a no brainer for me:
Primrose and Theodore
