It's very strange to see Allah used as a given name. Vaguely disrespectful.
Margot Vesta is cheerful, hearty, and robust.
Máxima and her siblings intrigue me, especially Bia. I wonder if they're all full siblings.
Michelle Sapir seems like a missed opportunity to go with something more stimulating, like Mika Sapphira.
Naya Unn is another idiosyncratic pairing - the insubstantial, trendy Naya with the ancient, resolute Unn.
Damian has always felt haughty, but also immature to me. I only learnt today that Zaire is za-eer, not zeye-reh.
Irving sounds like an old Jewish man who can probably play the piano well. Weipeng is presumably Chinese, but not only does it rhyme, it also reminds me of "weeping".
The European Tomas looks strange next to the American Bradley.

Weipeng doesn’t rhyme with Irving. The sounds in pinyin don’t match exactly to how we might instinctively (in English, at least) interpret them. The e is more like a schwa, so pəng. Still ends in ng, but the vowel is pretty different from the ee sound in ing.
