Astrela and Zorya sound pretty to me, but I have no idea about the meaning. I like Vladlena as well. It's hard to pick names that I don't properly understand, but if I had to rely on the given examples I'd choose Astrela and Zorya (is this even a feminine name?) for my girls and Vladlena for myself.

Your choices are all girls names. All of the names are on the site, you can look them up. Vladlena is from Vladimir Lenin.
Astrela means "star" (from Greek)
Zorya I interpret as variant of Zarya (dawn) influenced by зорька (zorka) also dawn, can be star too if spelled зорка in Cyrillic

Thank you, that's really cool. I didn't know the names' meanings, but my girls' actual names also mean star and sun/dawn.

That's very nice coincidence :) I guess you are very drawn to those meanings
