Liouba - Eh. Looks better as Lyuba and then it still sounds too much like 'lube'. I prefer it as a nickname for Lyubov which is interestingly exotic and moody to the non-Russian ear (although stil far too heavy on the 'lube'), but I don't think any version of this name would work great outside of Russia, at least, not in any English-speaking country.
Vesper is cool. It's trying too hard. But it's cool.
Maren feels elderly, dusty and mousey. It feels like the name of someone's backwards country grandmother, a milkmaid, a pastoral throwback, or something.
Maialen - pretty.
Miriel - too close to fuddy old Muriel.
Saoirse - beautiful. I love this name.
Irem - interesting. It would make a good character name.

Arlo feels greasy and creepy to me. I'm not a fan.
Jeremy isn't my type of name, but it's okay.
Julian is dorky, but that doesn't bother me. I like it a bit, but it's not a keeper for me.
