I think all of your girls names are fine. I love [name_f]Margot[/name_f], the others just aren’t my style but are still good solid names.
I am not a fan of [name_m]Clayton[/name_m], but I think [name_u]Asa[/name_u], [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] are all strong choices.
As far as [name_m]Simba[/name_m] goes, I would say no. It is not because of The [name_m]Lion[/name_m] [name_m]King[/name_m], though when a name has a very strong connection to one character and most people have never heard it anywhere else it is something to consider. You say that [name_m]Simba[/name_m] was a name long before Disney used it, but why do you think that? [name_m]Simba[/name_m] is a word in Swahili, it literally means lion. I speak Swahili and live in a Swahili speaking country and have never met anyone name [name_m]Simba[/name_m]. And people use very interesting names (including Swahili word names) here, I have met someone named “African” and someone named “Mzee” (swahili for "old person) as their given, legal name. [name_m]Simba[/name_m] is a very common name for dogs here and might occasionally be used a nickname for people (though I’ve never met any). If you like the sound of it, maybe you can find names with similar sound elements. [name_m]Just[/name_m] some food for thought for you.
