Opinions?

First off, I'm not pregnant nor do I plan to be in the near future. But I really like the following names so I thought I'd find out what people thought about them. Second, I'm going for the two middle names thing. Both my sister and I have two middle names and I can't imagine life without them. So I'm sticking to that for my children (if they will ever be born). For the record, I'm not fussy about how the names are thrown together so if you think of another combination that would sound better go right ahead and tell me. Enough rambling:

Girls:
Evangeline Aurora Rose
Gabriella Ripley Reese
Niamh Arwen Beatrix
Miho Eowyn June
Alexis Eunice Karabo

Boys:
Jakob William Toben
Karl Rory Julian
Lenin Eli Benjamin
Alejandro Eomer Joaquin

EDIT:

Perhaps I should have provided some explanation. I identify as socialist so I make a rather large distinction between Lenin & Trotsky and Stalin. Kind of like the way someone would see a difference between George W Bush and Ralph Nader. Also, I prefer Karl to Carl because I think Carl is boring and...surburban I suppose. Same with Jakob/Jacob.

Eunice is my mother's name and Karabo is a Sotho name (here in South Africa). If you're pronouncing it Caribou you're not getting it right. It's pronounced 'Kar-ah-boh' (it's a bit difficult to explain). And yes, I love LOTR but I would never use those names as a first name. Thanks for all the opinions though, some really cracked me up.

I don't think Lenin did disgusting things but baby_names is probably not the best place to delve into that can of worms haha. My poor non-existant kid will probably have to deal with all this drama so I'll honour those I believe in differently.
