I like Aysel (intriguing meaning!), Vella, Dzenyslava, Amur, Vohnedar, Eskyender, and Sirius. Vohnedar sounds like it should belong to a Pagan deity.
Dzenyslava reminds me of a rare Czech name Zvonislava. I wish names with 'bell/ring' meaning were more commonly used here. I also wish Zlata was more popular. I find it really cute! Cool it's in the top 10 in Ukraine. I also find Solomiya intriguing.
My favorite popular names mentioned in the article are Artem, Davyd, Oleksandr, Anna, Zlata, and Mariya.

Dzenyslava and Zvonislava might be related. I'll have to research it. You can seee my theory in my response to nesstya.
Zlata isn't actually used by many Ukrainian Ukrainians surprisingly, it's more of a Russian speaking Ukrainian name.
Solomiya is the Ukrainian form of Salome.
And yes, I agree, Vohnedar does sound like a pagan deity. I love the name regardless.

Eskyender is Eskender Ukrainianised (Eskender is a Crimean Tatar name, though it's not listed as that on the site)
Dzenyslava I don't think comes from Jenny, because in Ukraine we write Jenny like Dzhenni or Dzheni. It would probably look like Dzhenislava or Dzhenyslava (maybe with two n). I thought it might come from дзенькіт (dzenkit) "jingle, ring" but I'm not sure.
Dzvina is a variant of Dzvinka, which is a modern name that means "bell" (from дзвінок) or "sonourous" (from дзвінкий). They probably left off the k because it makes it sound like a diminutive.

Thank you for explonation, I feel stupid for not making connection to Dzwon "dzenkit" with Dzvina.
Mirabella is pretty.
