For the period of Queen Elizabeth I, any of the following would be acceptable girls names:

Agnes, Anne, Jane, Joan, Katherine/Catherine, Margaret, Mary

For a surname, you could choose either:

- A name based on family relationship (like Johnson, Williamson, Thomas, etc)

- A name based on a natural feature near their home (Wood, Hill, Field, etc.) or the area that they or their ancestors came from (Wiltshire, Ashford, Pevensey, etc)

- A name based on their or their ancestors occupation: Carpenter, Smith, Fletcher (puts feathers on arrows), Baker, Gardener, Cooper (makes barrels).

- A name derived from a nickname or distinguishing feature of one of their ancestors (Reid, for example, comes from red as in red-haired, or Armstrong, meaning literally someone strong in the arm)

See what you can come up with!

I think the names you have suggested are too fancy from that day. The names they more used where like
beatrice, mary, victoria.

Here are some ideas for you

victoria windsor
Mary Honary
Beatrice Wilson
Sarah Jane Parker
Margaret Pastor

I like sarah jane parker

You posted this question twice. I answered it as follows :

Those first names are not really the sort of names that would have been used in those times.

Look at http://www.guildofstmichael.org/names.html for a list of contemporary names.

For surnames have a look at http://surname.sofeminine.co.uk/w/surnames/uk.html

Note the names suggested above : Evans, Jones, Davies, Williams are all Welsh surnames. although common in England now they would have been less common in England then.
