I like all your girls names so it's difficult!
Keep Anna (nn Anya Grin - 2 nice names in 1) and Eva (both international classics)
Ditch Olivia (very popular) and Thea (pronunciation issues)

Less keen on your boys choices-
Keep Edward (timeless classic) and Arthur (bit trendy now but nice)
Ditch Reuben and Rory (dislike their sounds and "R" boys names are very popular at the moment)
