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
