We’ve narrowed our list of boys and girls name but need help with the best potential combination!

Surname is one syllable starting with B!

Girls:
Alice
Eleanor
Grace
Maeve
Elizabeth
Orla
Eleanora
Emmeline
Madeleine
Amelia
Rose
Sophia
Olivia
Elsie

Boys:
Oliver
Henry
William
George
Atticus
Edward
James
Ezra

Obviously have lots more girls than boys names. If you think of others that may be to my taste then please suggest!

Happy with either one or two middle names!

Some combos I love (with the first names that I love) from your lists:
Alice Eleanora
Eleanor Maeve
Eleanor Maeve Elizabeth
Eleanor Grace Elizabeth
Maeve Eleanor
Rose Eleanor
Rose Eleanor Sophia
Grace Eleanor
Grace Eleanor Sophia

Oliver George
Oliver George Henry/Edward/William/Atticus
Henry William
Henry William/George Atticus
Edward Oliver
Edward Oliver George
Edward Atticus
Edward Atticus George
Atticus George
Atticus Henry
George Edward
James Edward
James Atticus
James William

The only name on your lists I dislike is Ezra. I would avoid Rose and James as middles as they are so expected they don't seem to add anything. However they are both great first names.

Alice and Madeleine are my favourites from your list
Alice Madeleine
Alice Eleanor
Madeleine Alice

Edward James

Alice, Orla or Rose.
Eleanor is a classic but there are soo many El girl names atm that I would avoid it until the Elsie Elodie Ellie Ella Elle Eloise trend chills out.

What do you think of just Olive or Rosa?

From the boys names either Edward or James

I'm going to imagine your LN is Brooke for the purpose of this exercise:

Olive Rosa Brooke
Alice Vivienne Brooke
Orla Jane Brooke
Rose Evangeline Brooke

Edward John Brooke
James Peter Brooke
Edward Norman Brooke
James Robert Brooke
Edward Gregory Brooke
James Christopher Brooke
