VV often does not take the real names of them. So yes Natascha and Aleksej real names. VV name zoe & Jack.

More important is they are obviously staying

It is a stupid habit of VV to give them english names. Ivo(ryan), Petra, Alex and Anna have russian names and very probable their own. Why would that be a problem? Is that the somewhat understandable  idea that americans are allergic for foreign names?

They are given different names to try and protect their private lives.

You think one can find a girl named Anna in a city of 14 million inhabitants? One has more chance by knowing her looks. To protect their private lives they should then wear masks and bear their own Christian name.

My qualification "stupid " applies to the use of english instead of russian names.

You can find all sorts of examples here and on RLC where a poster has one of these tenants Facebook, VK, instagram accounts, etc. It's not completely fool proof but it prevents the majority from searching for them and yes, they are catering to an English speaking audience so it makes sense they give them English names. VV's twitter account is in English.

That all so that american viewers do not get the impression that foreigners have non-english names. Xenophobia indeed. For the same reason american TV-stations do not show foreign series. That VV's twitter account is in English is fully understandable, it being the most widely understood language.
