Interesting...
...that so many of the couples seem to be chosing the mother's surname as the "main" surname. I'm thrilled that people are reviving our Portuguese traditions! (In the case of Afonso Pimentel it's even stranger since he gave his son the "mundane" Dias rather than aristocratic Pimentel. And it's incredible that a member of the prestigious Lobo Antunes family doens't pass down both last names!)
Most of the names are boring/ predictable, but I find Romeu is really handsome and original. Zoë is beautiful (though not with Chloe), but Kyara is terribly tacky, as is the Noa which seems to have become the "go to" celebrity baby name (at least they used a proper first name).

I like:
Liliana
Noa - with this spelling, I like it on either gender. If it were Noah I would only like it on a boy.
Gabriel
Chloe - Chloe and Zoe? Very unfortunate pairing and tacky. I do love Chloe though and Zoe isn't too bad either.
Beatriz - especially with the NN Bea. Though I do prefer Beatrix or Beatrice.
Kyara - but prefer the spelling Kiara.
Cruz - I think this would be a cool MN for a boy.
Leonor - I don't know if I particularly like this name or if I just tolerate it because it sounds so similar to Eleanor, which I do love.
Katia
WOW that's a lot of girls!
