What are your opinions on these names? Do you like any, hate any? I starred (*) what I like and degrees symbol (°) is by the ones I don't.

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.
