Felix - cat
Otto - either 18th century, extravagantly moustached German or medieval monk (I get 2 very different mental images for that name)
Everly - hadn't heard of, sounds like a surname
Persephone - pretty but I can't imagine someone having the name in real life (outside mythology), seems a bit much.

Oliver and Beatrix

Max and Oliver - both fine, really good names.
Felix says 'cat' to me, and Otto is plain ugly.

I love Ruby, it's simple and sweet.
Sadie - OK as a diminutive of Sarah, but not a standalone name.
Beatrix - no, because it would mean Trixie as a diminutive and that's only OK on a pampered dog. Beatrice, on the other hand, is lovely.
Persephone - gorgeous, if you are sure you/she can carry it off.
Everly - absolutely not, in no circumstances whatsoever.

Any one except Everly.

Mainly this, but also Otto always makes me think of Nazis (irrational I know)

Max and Persephone are my favourites

I might call Max Maximilian or Maximus as a full name, or he might feel a little short changed if he ends up with a sister Persephone

Although I know that’s not how it’s pronounced, I can’t help but think of Persephone as rhyming with telephone
