Funny seeing this here as I knew Jessica Bratich when she was a child/teenager. Her father was my karate coach. I imagine Rubika is a Balkan name as that's where her father's family are from. I think Rubika Anne is cute.
Sloane is horrid on a girl. Ellie is adorable. Ellie Sloane would have been much better.
Jacob Matthew Lloyd is fine. I hate the spelling of Jaeda, but Jaeda Ruby sounds fine. Kira Grace is lovely.
Alexander Norman is fine. I also like Lucia, Hamish, James and Nicholas. I just wish they'd looked up the origin of Hamish before they used James too.
Camille Winter is nms but there's nothing wrong with it.

Ugh Sloane makes me think of sloth.
No, Rubika isn’t used here. My guess is that they just elaborated on Ruby via Annika, Danika, etc.
ETA:
I found this online: 'It is understood the unusual name is a nod to one of the couple's grandmothers.' No idea what the grandmother is named (I’d guess Ruby).
EETA: Yes, Jessica’s grandmother’s name is Ruby and the baby was named after her.

And wow, I now know waaay more than I ever wanted to about two people I’d never heard of before (and her dad and his mum and....), lol.
