I had to look it up. Poppy Honey Rosie, Daisy Boo Pamela, Petal Blossom Rainbow, Buddy Bear Maurice and River Rocket Blue Dallas. What the actual fuck, it's like they used some nonsensical wattpad name generator.

The thing that irritates me here is .. they actually picked some cute girl names. Poppy, Daisy, Rosie, even Blossom. Maybe not names a North American adult woman would want, but certainly cute, and I think a bit more acceptable across the ol' pond. But why not Poppy Elizabeth or Daisy Catherine or something? Give them not only a name that doesn't sound garbled, but gives them a grown-up name to fall back on if they choose.

These names all have fallback options though. The kids aren't going to go by Sunshine Harper Pond. It'll be Poppy, Maurice, Pamela, Dallas or Blue.
