Ok we've not got long till bumps due DH loves Italian/spanish sounding names (I'm part Italian, and he's part French) but I also love really old fashioned english names. We've kinda got a list but I want to add a few.
Florence Ellen (or Eleanor)
Scarlet-Elizabeth
Francesca-rose
Rosa-Leigh
Isabella-rose (really not a fan of this one)

The reason for double barrelled is my name antonia-lee. Her last name begins with a J and her brother is called Oscar Norman. Really want something unusual... Hit me with your ideas
 
I love Rosa-Leigh. We were going to have Rosalie.
I think Isabelle-Rose is lovely too x
 
Obviously I'm biased with Isabella Rose ;) but I like Rosa-Leigh and Florence Elizabeth.

Other suggestions:

Martha
Cora/Coraline
Adeline
Marian/Marianne
 
Hey! when choosing a hyphenised name, I'd check the name law of your respective country.
Some countries treat hyphenised firstnames as just one name and your kid has to write the whole first name in all more or less official documents, which is often pretty annoying because the space in these forms is often limited.
I'd love to have no hyphen in my firstname because of that.

In my opinion Francesca Rose sounds the best from your list because it has a nice flow.
I think if you swap Ellen and Florence it sounds a bit better. That awkward glottal stop between the "ce" in Florence and the "E" in Ellen is a bit harsh in my opinion...consider Ellen Florence perhaps?
