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)
