Adorable.
My only objection is Gladys, and no real reason for it other than it's NMS.
I adore Adelaide Plum (the Plum really makes this name here!), Mabel Josephine, Matilda Jane, Nora Lucille.
Great list.

I like Nora Lucille and Adelaide Plum.

I think Matilda is getting extremely popular. And I can't find anything good about Mildred.

[mischa]

1 MATILDA Jane - Perfect flow!
2 MABEL Josephine - Two lovely vintage gems together is swoon-worthy!
3 LUCINDA Maude - I'm a recent convert to Lucinda. I love Lucy and Lucia too!
4 ADELAIDE Plum - Quirky mn paired with Adelaide is a winner!
5 CLARA Jessamine - Very sweet and pretty
6 AGNES Ruby - The sassy Ruby brightens the serious Agnes up a bit!
7 NORA Lucille - Very appealing
8 WILHELMINA Pearl - I prefer just Willa but this combo is quite fine!
9 FRANCESCA Blythe - I think Frances is more vintage than Francesca but I included this pretty combo anyway.

I love vintage names but I'm not ready to dust off Erma, Flossie, Gladys, Mildred and Myrtle just yet.

Love Adelaide Plum! That's my favorite followed by Matilda Jane, Mabel Josephine, and Francesca Blythe.

Adelaide Plum is just too cute to me. :]
That one takes my vote for sure!!

[sheflieswithherownwings]

Adelaide Plum, Clara Jessamine, Francesca Blythe, Matilda Jane, Nora Lucille and Wilhelmina Pearl are all stunning.

Flossie is a nicknames and it sounds like a dogs name, as does Mabel.

I don't see the appeal of Myrtle, Mildred and Minerva, or Erma for that matter but would love something like Elsa Florence.

Gladys and Agnes are just too old fashioned for me. I'd much prefer Ruby Agnes and Margaret Gladys.

Clara Jessamine is my favorite of all!!

[dearest]

No votes for Myrtle Ambrosia? She the coolest!
Also love Adelaide Plum, Francesca Blythe and Wilhelmina Pearl.
Clara, Agnes, Mildred and Minerva are also favourites, but not Jessamine, Ruby, Hazel and Kate.
Clara Jocasta, Agnes Rowena, Mildred Heloise and Minerva Claudine would be my picks.

Oh my goodness! I love vintage, "old lady" names, but I don't think that Erma, Gladys, Mildred, Minerva and Myrtle are ready for a comeback just yet...if ever. Whihelmina is pushing it too, except that Mina is a darling nn.
Adelaide Plum is so cute and quirky!
Agnes Ruby is nice, but I prefer Ruby Agnes. Ruth Agnes would be a good combo too.
Agnes is kind of cool, but I don't like the sound of Ruby as the mn.
Clara Jessamine is nice. I have just started to like the name Jessamine, cuz I like nn Jess, but not the out-dated name Jessica.
I would like the combo Jessamine Claire.
Erma Florence just does not sound like a good name for a baby/child. Florence is catching on as a fn though...
Speaking of...Flossie as the full name is a bit weird, sorry. It is a cute nn for Florence though. I don't think either Flossie or Florence go with Genevieve.
Francesca Blythe is a really sweet combo, even though I don't care for either very much.
Margaret Gladys would be okay, but not Gladys Margaret. My name gets mistaken for Gladys a lot and I just cringe. It's actually Glenys.
Lucinda Maude is really pretty sounding. Mabel Josephine too.
Matilda Jane is super! I love the nicknames for Matilda - Tilly & Tilda or even Mattie, but I have never liked Matilda itself.
Mildred Hazel doesn't flow. Maybe Hazel Mildred? I like Hazel as a fn much more than Mildred. Nn Millie is sweet, but I prefer Millicent over Mildred. Millicent Hazel is nice.
Minerva Kate doesn't match. I don't care for this one at all.
Myrtle Ambrosia is just too old sounding...almost ancient.
Nora Lucille is a good combo.
Wilhelmina Pearl is a nice combo.
You are really good at putting combos together. Some of them are just not to my taste at all.
