Traditional names?

Question

My husband and I are expecting again. So far our two sons have inherited their grandfather's names and we'll definitely be keeping with this trend. Here are some names for girls that I'd like your take on.the pronunciation might sound strange but I'll try to explain it as best as I can.
1: Suzaan Desiree  (soo-zahn/ Dez-uh-ree) my mother and gran's names
2: Ilze-mari Susanna (ill-zuh-marie) sister and mother's names. Ilze is a German name if you'd like to look up the pronunciation. 
3: Madrè Ilze (mah-drei) Madrè is Spanish if I'm not mistaken and is my eldest sister's name.
I'm pretty much set on a boys name. My maiden surname is Miller and I rather like it as a first name, followed by Paul (a favourite uncle) but I'd still like to hear your opinions on it. I think it's strong

Madre....the other ones are rlly outdated

I'm not terribly fond of any of the girls' names; they're all a little much. I also thought Madre was Spanish for "mother". My favorite of the three would have to be Ilze-Mari Susanna, but I'd consider not hyphenating and just using Ilze Mari or Ilze Susanna (or Mari Susanna). I like Miller Paul.

I don't like any of them

Miller really is a surname to me. It sounds odd for a first name, but I'd understand why you used it if you did. I like it as the middle name but then Paul gets left out. What if you use Suzaan Paula for a girl and (a boys' first name) Miller for a boy

I love Ilse but haven't seem it spelled that way (Ilze) before.  So I'll have to go with #2.  Miller Paul is handsome.

Yes, Madre is Spanish. It's Spanish for "mother." Why would anyone name their daughter Mother?

Ilze's okay.
