Alyona is really pretty but i think it's a bit strong for her. I really like Doroteya and Nadenka, i'll put them in my list :) Olga is pretty but it's her mom's name ahah

- Babochka

Be careful with names that end in "consonant + -ka". Usually they are pet forms that are NEVER used as independent full names.
Doroteya is very archaic.
