I don't love any of the names on the girls' list. On the boys' side, Saxon, Bailey, Beau and Lewis are fantastic!
Is Niha pronounced like mija or Nia?
Saxon is unexpected for that age group. I thought Chelsea was a bit dated. Everything else seems pretty normal, even Beau (I personally think this sounds dated, too. The first time I heard it, it was an affectionate nickname for an old man. But I've seen it on the charts before).

Niha is pronounced nee-ha

Interesting
Girls:
Poppy - overused and juvenile
Esme - family name; I'd consider using it
Mia - trite and silly
Kenzie - oh dear; at least it isn't Mac = Son of Kenzie
Audrey - not for me: seems drab and dull
Niha - never seen or heard it; rather like a stifled sneeze
Chelsea - sounds OK; etymologically daft
Boys
Reuben - all right; I much prefer Robin
Alexander - needs a rest, or a nn like Sandy instead of Al, Alec, Alex ...
Saxon - I know a woman named Saxon: the University of Cape Town started off as the South African College School and was still sometimes knows as Sacs and featured in some student songs as the home of Saxons
Bailey - Old Bailey, the best-known criminal court in London? Or, a defensive wall, back in the Middle Ages? Take your pick.
Max - pleasant; works well as an independent name
Beau - ghastly and ill-advised
Cameron - at last: a male one!
Lewis - as in Carroll? I prefer it to Louis.

I like Bailey and Saxon. I kind of hope they're siblings.
