Alaina- I like it, but I prefer the spelling Elaina. It looks more correct.
Anastasia Emberlyn- I like Anastasia, but not Emberlyn. Ember is not a name, and putting lyn on it does not make it one. In fact, I'd rather see Ember as a name than Emberlyn.
Angelina Chase- okay, but I prefer Angela and Angelica, to avoid association with Ms. Jolie. Chase is just a word to me.
Arielle- I love this name
Avrielle- too fancy and made-up sounding. I prefer Arielle.
Belapollina- seems like a name someone invented to get the nickname Bella. I like Apollina, though.
Brynja Faye- very nice! I like this combination a lot.
Cambria- this is an old name for Wales, not a name for a person. It sounds like a car.
Corah Lillika- I like Cora, but the h at the end makes it look misspelled.
Corrina Amélie- Corinna is the correct spelling. It drives me nuts that so many people think Corinne/Corinna should have two Rs and one N. Corinna Amelie would be a gorgeous combination.
Dulcinea- absolutely love it.
Emberlyn Sapphire- Emberlyn doesn't seem like a real name, as I said before. Sapphire is okay as a middle name, but I'd use something a little less trendy/made-up as the first name, because otherwise it sounds kind of downmarket.
Emery Jadis- Emery is a boys' name. Jadis- like the witch in Narnia? Emily Jadis would be okay.
Faelien- too close too alien. Fae (I prefer Faye) is okay.
Fairamay- seems made-up and looks like a last name.
Farrah- seems kind of trendy.
Fiona Winter- nice combination. Winter would be a bit much as a first name, but here it's not bad.
Greta Lucia- very pretty.
Isabella Korrin- Isabella Corinne would be a lot better.
Ivy Pearl- I like it.
Jessamine Sage- sort of plant-y. I like Sage and love Jessamine, but not together.
Liliana Noelle- pretty.
Lily Chanterelle- I like Lily, though it's awfully popular. Chanterelle is sort of tacky and overly fancy. It reminds me of a chandelier. What about Chantal?
Luciana Jade- I love Luciana but don't care for Jade. It used to be an insult. I like Luciana Jane, and that sounds almost the same.
Lucienne Jane Starling- I love Lucienne and Jane. Starlings are birds.
Pasha- this was a title used in the Ottoman Empire. Not a name. I'd think it was kind of funny if I saw it used as a girl's name, like I did when I saw a girl in the paper named Kasha (which is a type of food).
Phaedra- love it!
Poeta Scarlet- poeta looks like poet with an a. The feminine form of poet is poetess, not poeta (not that poetess or poet are names).
Rísingeil- might have problems with the pronunciation.
Ruviana- it's okay.
Samara Teal- Samarra is a place, Samara reminds me of The Ring. Teal is a color.
Seraphina- gorgeous. I would love to see this actually used as a name.
Sophia- pretty but very popular.
Vashti- it's okay.
Anastasia Emberlyn- I like Anastasia, but not Emberlyn. Ember is not a name, and putting lyn on it does not make it one. In fact, I'd rather see Ember as a name than Emberlyn.

Thanks for your help Copperlily!
Pasha, along with being a Turkish title, is also a unisex Greek name meaning 'Passover' and is typically given to children born during the Easter season. In Russia, it's a masculine pet name for the name 'Pavel'. I'm sure that doesn't make you think any better of it though, lol. Thankfully I've taken it off of my favourites anyway.
And I love the name Starling BECAUSE it's the name of a bird. It's no different than using Robin, Wren or Lark (which I know people with all of these names). Starling's a bit frilly, which is why I keep it in the middle name position. But it's a favourite of mine.
And about a week ago, I made the Faelien-Alien connection and immediately took it off the list, lol.
And Poeta and Belapollina are made up...I believe. Not by me, but by someone on a different name forum who decided to mix and mash names for fun. I actually kind of liked the sound of these, so I stole them.
Anyway, I'm going to post a new list of favourites (it's shorter, I promise, lol), so definitely let me know what you think of those!
