My other children all have names that have a foreign sound to them.. e.g Arabella, Matthias, Luca,

Please suggest as many as you can think of .. boys and girls.

you really want people to suggest all the foreign names they can think of?!

Foreign (assuming you are British) includes Nigerian, Russian, Cuban, Pakistani, Korean .... none of which seem to align with Arabella, Matthias, & Luca

Do you mean slightly Italian sounding names or 'foreign' generally?

There's quite a big difference!
