HelpCalisthenics champion names
I follow several Instagram accounts of Calisthenics clubs (Calisthenics is an Australian sport that is sort of a combination of rhythmic gymnastics, ballet, acrobatics, and marching - see link below) and they’re in the process of announcing the winners of some recent competitions. All are girls.

Are there also calisthenics for boys, or is it only a girl thing?
So, then, the names:
Addison - American cultural colonialism; sad
Aimi - I'm happy to assume she's Japanesea; amusingly, the meanings of Aimi and Amy are pretty similar
Angela - peaceful, pleasant classic
Annabelle - prefer the more streamlined Annabel; also prefer its meaning
Aria - I so hope she isn't tone-deaf
Evelyn - lovely if it's EEVlyn, awful if it's EVVuhlin
Ivy - not my favourite plant; not my favourite plant name by a long shot
Maggie - more predictable than Peggy below; trite, nice enough, harmless
Olivia - beautiful, as always
Elwing - LOTR strikes again
Elyssa - prefer the more obvious versions: Eliza or Elise
Izeta - sounds OK, I think!
Mila - 1500 metre runner, or Slavic family history?
Isla - doesn't appeal; inoffensive
Peggy - delightfully retro!

There’s boys’ classes and competitions up to about the age of 14 I think? Like a lot of “sparkly” sports there’s limited demand for boys’ classes.
Mila and Milla are common in Australia - possibly due to high levels of Slavic heritage in some places?
