ZidaneSome definitions/explanations:Hansueli is a Swiss-German combination of Hans (equivalent to John) and Ueli (a diminutive of Ulrich).
Lirim is based on the Albanian word liri, meaning “freedom, liberty.”
The Albanian names Liridon, Liridona and Ilirida were also derived from liri.
Maluna may have been inspired by a German children’s book series featuring a fairy character named Maluna Mondschein. (Her first name is an elaboration of luna, Latin for “moon,” while her last name is German for “moonshine.”) The six books, written by Andrea Schütze, were published from 2014 to 2019.

I love these!My favorites:
Girls - Catalia, Demiana, Jemina, Maluna, Qiana
Boys - Cuno, Divico, Ilio, Janic, Xhan
For girls, I particularly like Vinia and Zerin. I think they sound a bit mythical? Overall very pretty names.
For boys, Athos and Yori have to be my favorites
