Interesting name sightings

I saw these on name tags

Tala (teenager)
Ferid (toddler)
Ayda (todler)
Andrey (kid)

Tala I have never heard but I think it is nice name, Ferid I have heard and I love this name (but I do prefer Ferit), Ayda I heard before I do not know where but I think is nice, and Andrey I only think interesting because usually I see Andriy here because I am in Ukrainian speaking city, I have not seen Andrey spelling since I was in Russian speaking city, though is still nice name! What do your opinions on names?

Tala is rather pretty and unique.
Ferid seems strange to me. It also looks like a typo for Farid.
Ayda is ok.
Andrey just seems like a spelling variant of Andre or Andrei. I happen to really love the Andriy spelling.

Ferid is variant of Farid.

Andrey is variant of Andrei, they are same name. I saw in Cyrillic on tag: Андрей
I latinise i korotke (й) as y because it is more y sound that i sound

Andriy is Ukrainian name version of Andrey
It is very common where I am :)

Andrey seems like it's a cute version of Andrew

Tala would be nice, but my mother's kitchen was full of utensils, mostly for icing cakes and making biscuits, made by a company called Tala, so my associations are all wrong.
Ferid is interesting; I'm afraid that most English-speakers would associate it with Fred.
I know a baby named Ayda! Her mother chose the name because she really, really loves the moon.
Andrey is OK. Where I live, we'd spell it Andre; both are better than Andrew, IMO
