I like...Ophelia
Alexander
Gabriel
Thomas
Ivan- middle name
Caleb Mariya is a strange spelling. Aghoghozino is quite a mouthful. I've never heard of Raiael. Not sure how to pronounce that.

Mariya is Ukrainian or Russian spelling of Maria. I suppose it could also be a modern kre8tiv English spelling, though.

Mariya’s parents’ names and surnames were Arabic :)
- Anya Mel’nik or Mel’nyk (Tovaryshka_Anya)

Then maybe she is named after an Islamic figure with a name similar to Maria (like Māriyyah al-Qibṭiyyah) or they wanted to name her an anglophone name and spelled it with a y because it made more sense to them (or just because they wanted to).

Archie and Thomas are welcome; so is Alan. I'd prefer Fred to Freddie. Raiael sprains my brain: rye-ay-el? Very strange, but beaten into second place by Aghoghozino. Winnie-Jo seems old-fashioned. Caleb, Alexander, Gabriel and Theodore would just about do.
