Help name twins

Hi,
As you can see, we’re expecting twins, due in a month! We’ve got some ideas for names but just coming on here to see if anyone can offer some help. We already have a son, Alexander Nicholas John nn Xander and a daughter, Stella Amelia Blythe. Our general formula for middle names is a longer 1st middle name, and a family name for the 2nd middle name, although this isn’t set in stone. We are not sure what we’re having, so have to come up with 2 boys names and 2 girls!

For boys, our favourite names are:
Louis
Nathanial nn Nate
Theo
Leo
Frederick nn Freddie
With middle names Sebastian Miles and Arthur James

and for girls, we’ve struggled to come up with names, but we like:
Juliet
Esme
Lucinda nn Lucy
Rose (my middle name so think this would be nice to include)
Lyra
Sophie (family name)
Lily (maybe with Lillian as a long name)
With middle names Flora Katherine and Daisy Ellen (Daisy from family name Margaret, but we’ve found that the -y ending often doesn’t flow well )

Any thoughts on which names flow best with our middle names or suggestions of other names would be great, but if you don’t like lots of our names, please try not to say anything because I don’t want to loose confidence in them! X

From your boys list -
Louis - I quite like, but always get confused how to pronounce it as I've known boys with this spelling pronounced "Louie" and others "Lewis". I prefer the Lewis spelling for that reason.

Nathanial - I really like this.

Theo - love this. My favourite on your boys list. It's quite popular, but not enough to put me off using it.

Leo - again I love this. Also really popular in my area.

Frederick nn Freddie - I love Freddie, but not keen on Frederick.

From your girls list -
Juliet - love this!

Esme - I like pronounced "Ezmay", which is the most common way of saying it where I live, but have heard a few on here say "Ezmee" which just doesn't sound right to me.

Lucinda nn Lucy - Absolutely love Lucy. This was the name I had planned for the baby I lost so it holds a special place in my heart.
Lucinda is nice too.

Rose - I prefer Rosie or Rosa. Also love Rosanna and Rosalie.

Lily - I like, but I hear it too often. I like Lilia.
