I love the literary reference with Shadrack! I also like Bienvenue and Janvier (Google said they’re French names more commonly used in French-speaking Africa, idk if that’s right) and Bastet. Ala’kalici confounds me.
Ava Eliane would have been pretty, but Aei'vah is atrocious. Same with Ariana Nicole, though I don't mind Aeireonna as much as Aei'vah.
I like Ocean and Rain, but I don't like how they're hyphonated.
I think Albathea is kinda pretty.
Anomalie is absolutely horrendous. I think they must have googled synonyms for unique and picked out anomaly without fully understanding its meaning.
Anubis Tui Lycanis is kinda showoff-y, but I don't hate it. Better ancient Greek/Egyptian names than Anomalie. Same with Arcturus Akyas, Atlas Arcanum, and Bastet Alexandria.
I would have preferred the spelling Arizona. Carolyn is fine, John must be a family name.
Atari is nice, Atari Inez could have worked, Sunnie Inez would be okay, but Atari Sunnie Inez doesn't have a great flow in my opinion.
Awesome sounds like a descriptor of Maurice.
Bienvenue Janvier is horrible. I personally wouldn't be comfortable naming my kids random words in a language that is not my native one. Maybe they do speak French? It's still very odd, and not really in a good way.
Bleu December. Though it's kinda attention-seeking, I think it's a little neat. I would prefer Blue to Bleu, because ik they're gonna say Bleu like Blue.
Bluanagelo. I like Angelo. I would take DiAngelo. I still like the -angelo part, but the blu is throwing me off. Also, Ace sounds stupid.
Axlin Ella Reign flows well. Axlin is silly, but I don't hate it. It kind of remonds me of a character called Ashlyn Ella from a TV show I watched when I was 8.

That's quite interesting! I still think they are odd when together. I asked a Francophone aquaintance about them and she said she hadn't heard of them used as names. They seem to be archaic, so I would assume that's why.
Atlas Arcanum is the kind of thing a miserable-on-purpose emo brat would use as a screen name circa 1999.
Bluangelo Ace: the Italian stallion of the US Navy precision flyers.
I do not get Riot or all its variations. There is nothing about a riot anyone would like to be named for.

Riot's so dumb, but I think it gained popularity because it sounds like Wyatt, Ryan, Riley, Rhett and has a vibe like Rebel and Rowdy. And there was a 2005 Three Days Grace song called Riot in which "let's start a riot" repeats over and over - not a good namesake but catchy - it started appearing on the SSA data in 2007, so that'd fit as the inspiration. I think Halo is another one that maybe originally gained use because of repetition in a song (the Beyonce one), along with sounding like Hailey, Harlow, etc, but at least that's a sweet association.
