Are these new to the database? I don't remember running across them before. I'm wondering what you folks think of them (I picked the ones I thought were most interesting, but there are more)

Pipra
Katida
Sprita
Stelara
Valora
Vespera
Rava
Amika
Chiela
Aminda

I find most of them weird (Pipra) or with a cutesy meaning (Katida), or even trashy (Karesinda sounds dirty lol).
They sound either very made up or "normal but Esperantoized" to me. I like:

Adorinda
Aleksandro (very good)
Chiela but to me it's the Yiddish feminine form of Yehiel and pron. khee-lah lol
Esperanta (nice)
Fajra (very beautiful)
Gaja
Glorinda
Koralo
Ludoviko (nice)
Luksa (nice)
Marajha (very good!)
Merita (good!)
Orabela
Rozabela
Rubena (great)
Safira (great)
Valora (good)
Venka (great)

Esperanto names I like

Adorinda - Also like Adora. Perhaps a bit too cutesy to use in RL though
Amika - Also like Amice, Amica (medieval name), Amicabel (form of Amicabilis, a medieval name), and Amicia (medieval name)
Aminda - Also like Amanda and Ananda
Esperanta - Also like Esperanza
Fiera
Glorinda - Also like Gloria and Glory
Juvela
Merita - Also like Merit, for both sexes
Mirinda - Also like Miranda :-p
Orabela - Also like Orabel and Orabella, medieval names
Pipra - Also like Pippa, as a nn for Philippa
Rozabela - Also like Rosabella, Rosabel, and Rosabelle
Rubena - Could also be used as a fem. form of Ruben
Safira - Also like Sapphire, for both sexes, and Sapphira
Stelara - Also like Stella
Tondra - Unfortunately sounds like a stereotypically lower-class Black name
Valora - Also like Valerie and Valeria for girls, and Valerius, Valerian, and Valéry (Valery) for boys
Venka
Vespera

Aleksandro
Johano
Jozefo
Mikelo
Paulo
Petro
