The first set is nice. I'm ambivalent towards Isla, but I love Amelia, Olivia and Kieran. I like Sean.Arabella and Max sound surprisingly nice together!Mika, Beau and Hope are all such different names... I admire that they did not give them rhyming names or anything "twinsy" though. I like Mika. I guess Hope is okay. I do not like Beau on boys so Beau on a girl feels a bit weird - but its nice that it means "beloved", as children should be. I would have preferred Cherie, though, if that's what they were going for.
Pretty trendy, but I like most of the names. I especially like Arabella and Max.
Beau is so masculine to me, especially because it is an old way of saying a boyfriend or male love interest. It's like naming your daughter "boyfriend" to me. Mika is cute, as is Hope. Bless her heart, hope she becomes and stays healthy. SO much risk in multiple births. Arabella I used to not be into but I've been warming to it the last few years and now I like it. Max I like but as a NN not the legal one as it reads to nicknamey to me. The first set feels too basic to me tbh. Kieran I like though.

Oh, I didn't even notice Beau was the girl's name. That's awful.
Three -a endings for girls, two -n endings for boys. OK; not my scene, but quite unobtrusive.Arabella and Max wouldn't be my choices, though I do enjoy Max. But they are pleasantly different.Mika? Why not Michel(l)e? Beau? Will she never learn French? Hope has meaning all right: I hope she is doing well.My versions, just for fun: keeping the initials.Olivia

I like all except Mika and Beau for girls. Beau and Micah for boys are nice
I knew a Mikayla who went by Mika.
