Why?

Today we have an invasion of creative spelling.

Klarissa. Way to make her name appear classy there parents.

Ayden. What the hell was wrong with the "i"? Why do so many people have a problem with the humble "i"?

Charli. A girl. I can understand Charlie as a nickname. I can even understand the parents knowing that's what she'd wind up being called so just opting to name her Charlie instead of Charlotte. But Charli? Why?

Then we have young Dashiell. Not unheard of as a name, especially not since Cate Blanchett recently returned it to some type of prominence. But this new young Dash is nevertheless going to have a hard time explaining why Mum and Dad felt the need to pair an unusual name such as Dashiell with the middle name Texas. I suppose it could have been worse. Instead of Dashiell Texas he could have been Texas Dashiell.

Finally we have one of those names that give the distinct impression that the parents just couldn't decide between a number of different names, so they just slapped them all together. Zataliah. Bonus points for getting the "z" in there parents.
