I'd be curious to know if some of those were family names, or honoring. Or maybe this is the result of two parents with entirely different tastes?

---

I see Keith, Tiffany, and Kurt as one kind of style.
Ali, Indiana, and Aiva are another style.
Beatrix and Penelope are a third kind of style to me.

---

Also, Ali, (if it's Ali with the "a" like "apple", does not sound like a full name to me.

Wow, all these names don't fit together at all! It's sounds like a few different sib sets!

Keith is just a big old w h y, to be honest. Ali is too brief for a girl, I feel, and Tiffany is beyond dated. Kurt is cool but because luke-warm next to Keith. Aiva I'd rather was spelt properly. Indiana is too archaeologist. Beatrix and Penelope are darling.

Interesting, but hard to make sense of.

Keith is amazing - such a stereotype of a retiree. Good name, excellent in fact, but it's been unused for so long, you've got to wonder: Why now?
Ali is unfortunate. Why, when there are names like Alice, Alison, Alastriona, even Alexandra, would anyone settle for just Ali? Especially since she'll be mistaken for a Moslem man every time she fills in a form.
Penelope is splendid - mildly fashionable, a classic for millennia, lots of nn possibilities, which brings me back to Ali! Why not Penny or Nell?
Tiffany is dated beyond redemption and was never distinguished when it was new.
Beatrix is also a puzzle; like Beatrice, it's getting some mileage and might perhaps be a good partner for Penelope, but it doesn't fit at all with the rest.

---

And then the others: Kurt is charmless and abrupt and too macho for comfort. Aiva is malformed - IEva, AYva, perhaps even AY-EEva! And Indiana is yet another sore thumb of a name. Usually there's a pattern to be discerned, but not here.

Umm....What? Keith, Ali and Tiffany?

---

Penelope and Beatrix I understand with siblings named Aiva and Indiana. The others are just weird. And ugly. Are you sure it's Ali by the way, and not just a nickname for Alison? Seems weird to me to name a girl Ali.

There is a part of me that wants the lack of cohesion to be intended. Like she said to herself, never mind themes. My theme is "there is no theme."

An odd mix for sure!

---

Kurt - really ugly in English and even uglier in Swedish
Aiva - EYE-va? Aviva is sweet, but Aiva sounds like a brand for something
Indiana - it's a state
Keith - ugly
Ali - just Ali? Not Alison or Alicia? Ugly
Penelope - nms
Tiffany - ick
Beatrix - I prefer Beatrice

What a completely bizarre mix of names.

---

I like Beatrix and I don't mind Penelope.

---

Tiffany, Keith and Kurt are all too dated and considered pretty trashy where I live.

---

Ali is fine as a nickname, but is incomplete as a girls name. Indiana reminds me of the US state and Indiana Jones (whose name is actually Henry) and I don't even know what Aiva is.

Like: Kurt, Keith, Penelope, and Tiffany.

---

Neutral: Aiva, Beatrix, and Ali.

---

Dislike: Indiana.

They're just thrown all over the map. They don't even sound like they're from the same family, or the same generation.

Man, those are some bizarre choices all together like that.

Wow, eight children!

---

Nothing really stands out to me although the quintuplets seem like they were named by at least two different sets of parents! Beatrix and Penelope are so classic and elegant. None of the other names can match them.
