Those are all great.
I love:
Anna
Agata
Dorota
Aleksandra
Agnieszka --I see this one all the time around where I live. The Chicago area has the largest concentrated Polish population outside of Poland, so I see a lot of these names.
Grazyna
Ursula
Mariusz
Stanislaw

Not a fan of Polish spellings or written Polish, but...hmm
Anna -nice but too common
Agata -not sure what I think of it. I kinda like it but not too much
Dorota -the same above
Aleksandra -dislike the spelling. But I prefer Alexandria or Alessandra anyway
Sandra -I find this soo boring, and it rhymes with one word in my language :/
Agnieszka -nicknamey. It sounds like a diminutive to me. Bleh
Grazyna -weird look, weird sound
Elzbieta -I find this quite pretty. But very Polish sounding
Ursula -dislike
Marek -a common name where I live. Not bad, but not the greatest either
Tadeusz -I like Tadeas but Tadeusz just sounds weird to me
Mariusz -again, the oosh sound
Michal -one of the most common names in my country, and I'm really sick of it
Stanislaw -it's okay. Not a fan of -slav names but this is one of a few I can tolerate
Wladek -diminutive. Sounds funny to me
Jaczek -the same above
Jan -is so common in my country. Probably the most boring name I've ever heard...
Anna -nice but too common
