LOL, Gabriel-Gospel from Grimsby! Most entertaining.
Rohan, Aksel, Sybella & Emre are all okay though, & Rosienna isn't that bad.
Kaizer is just mind-boggling though, and Maison is pretty weird - when I was a kid, French was a compulsory subject. How did his parents escape it?
Also I hope Layden's last name isn't Egg.

There was more than one Maison on the list. I assume it's pronounced like Mason, rather than like French for house.

WARNING: Siân's harsh judgements follow below.
Girls
Kaizer -File Under: Prince, King, Duke, Earl, and other things not to name a daughter.
Chemley -One chemist or MCR fan should have let drugs wear off before naming child.
Z'phia -I honestly made myself laugh till I couldn't breathe coming up with things to put here.
Saphire-Jewel -Sapphire Jewel won't make her seem like enough of a stripper, we should also misspell it so she'll look uneducated.
Wynter-Rose -Winter Rose wasn't cheesy enough.
Rosienna -Renesmee's sister.
Tilisa -Should we name her Tilly? Should we name her Lisa? No, we should name her some bastardized, contrived version of both.
Elbie -Like a baby Elbow. Like an Idris Elba fan still tripping from the labour medication.
Tyga-Mae -Tyga-Mae not. Tyga's a wild animal and therefore unpredictable.
Latia -I can't believe this ridiculous name looks good next to its predecessors.
Kayleigh-Paityn -Because Kayley Payton looks like we are nowhere near tryndee enough. Add more rhinestones.
Sybella -These people lucked into this Late Roman/Greek variant, didn't they? Judging by this list, there is no way anyone on this list has enough brain cells/culture to actually know this is a real name.
Boys
Kaileb-Dre -Look, they are no better at naming the boys. I heard Caleb used to be a thing.
Layden -At this this has the semblance of being close to a real name.
Maison -French for house. Not cool. (Sorry, Misha Collins.)
Rohan -Fine if they are Indian. Heck, I'll even let it slide if they are big Tolkien fans. It's better than using Aragorn or Faramir.

I'm guessing Tilisa is a variant of Tulisa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulisa_(singer)
I see no reason to assume that Sybella's parents (along with Rohan's, Aksel's and Emre's parents) don't realise they are real names. If they are from another culture then that would explain why they've chosen those names. I think there is a footballer named Emre something too.
I agree some of the names are terrible - Kaileb-Dre particularly stood out for me. Corbanie-Jay is interesting too. Tyga-Mae is kind of cute in a very GP way.

I used to know a Sibella (Sybella)

They are mostly terrible, in my opinion. There are some exceptions.
Girls
Kaizer - Puts me in mind of the German Emperor. Besides which, ugly.
Chemley - Uh... what?
Z'phia - Not even going to comment on this one.
Saphire-Jewel - Could be cute if not hyphenated, mispelled, and with tacky connotations. Sapphire Julia?
Wynter-Rose - Winter Rose I could accept.
Rosienna - Hmm, quite pretty. A bit too made-up.
Tilisa - Not sure. Too made-up for me, again.
Elbie - Just, ew.
Tyga-Mae - ????????????????????
Latia - Pretty, actually. But, once more, it feels very made-up.
Kayleigh-Paityn - Yup, just stick a sign around her neck reading 'I am going to be stereotyped and prejudiced for the rest of my life because of this name. Oh, yes, and my middle name is probably Nevaeh, which may sound pretty but has terrible, terrible connotations and stereotypes attached.'
Sybella - Sweet.
Boys
Kaileb-Dre - Goodness, I don't know why the whole world isn't calling their children this.
Layden - No, thankyou.
Maison - It is French for house.
Rohan - I quite like it, actually!
Aksel - Cool! I like it. Danish names please me.
Corbanie-Jay - Hmmm, Tyga-Mae and Corbanie-Jay sound like twins.
McKenly - Mc is for surnames, in my opinion.
Caleb-Lestat - Reminds me of the vampire.
Emre - It's quite nice.
Gabriel-Gospel - Ridiculous.
Maximus - Cute and under-used.
