Anselm is my favorite male name! I also love Annunziata, Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius, and Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher.
Jacob Rees-Mogg is a creepy victorian orphanage master and most people have got more human decency, compassion and integrity in their little fingernail than he has in his whole body. Of course his family have names more befitting 200 years ago, much like his so called 'values'.However, ignoring the gross politics and uncomfortable aspects of Rees-Mogg's existance, and focusing on the fusty upper-crusty names...It is pretty cool to see Wulfric in the wild. (If you can call Tories' families as examples of real life...) And Alphege could be deliciously creepy and fusty, giving old school Blackwood or Le Fanu ghosty type vibes.Poor Sixtus got done dirty.Annunziata is pretty cool.
Juliet Dorothea Maud honestly kinda slaps, and I'm not normally a fan of any of those names apart let alone together. Never thought I'd be saying that about bloody Maud of all things.
Jacob Rees-Mogg should be catapulted into the sun, but I do love fusty old names that are doing too much, so I enjoy these.My favorites are the ones I've never/seldom seen before, so Alphege, Wentworth, Somerset, Leyson, Pius, Anselm, Sixtus. Somerset Carlo is a particularly pleasingly odd combo, and I love seeing Aphrodite as well. I'm not sure if I like how unexpectedly plain Mary Anne Charlotte Emma is next to her brothers' names -- I think they could have given her an oddball middle name or two. The only combo that really doesn't sit right with me is Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher -- too many short I sounds and 3-syllable names, just a tongue-twister.

What an atticful these names are together. I like some of them, but the overall impression is fusty.
Probably because I feel like the idea of noble families itself is moribund ... so when "Lord" and "Baron" type people seem to take it seriously about themselves, it just makes names that would normally seem like solid and even interesting classics, seem threadbare and anemic.
None of them is bad by itself though. Well, having a name-drop as a middle name, let alone two of them, seems like it'd be heavy, to me.One strange thing is the mixing of very Catholic looking names, with not so Catholic looking sibling names.
I think the name Somerset de Chair looks funny. Even if I don't read it as being an English sentence about people who are seated!
I like: Nicholas, Rodney, Charlotte, Gillian, Frederick, Mary, Thomas, Dominic.
I guess I think Lawd Fred got the best overall hoard of personal names.
