I really like the name Fen, and Etsuko. They are very pretty. Hinata is also quite pretty. I also knew a Katsura which I guess is the feminine form of Katsuro? I quite like it.

Katsura and Katsura are completely different and unrelated. Katsura is a plant name and Katsuro would be a combo of 2 kanji of different meanings.

Also, Hinata's a boy, so it seems strange calling the name pretty.

In case it's of any interest, Etsuko is actually pronounced Etsko... The sound of the u drops in that name... Doesn't mean you'll stop liking it, but it's useful to know for pronunciation purposes.

Most are pretty typical names here in Japan, though Hinata's not as common as a given name. Junko and Etsuko are older standards though, so there are fewer of them in this age group. (Most, but obviously not all, are in their 30s and over).

I dislike them all, sorry. There are many Chinese and Japanese names I like but those aren't among them.
