Re: Opinions on some names
Aliena is not my favorite because it sounds very much like alien. Alena is so beautiful though!
Samwel is okay, but I prefer Samuel.
Valdasya and Valdonya are pretty.
Mary is so, so dated.
Artemiziya is a name I've never heard of, but it sounds nice.
Ruthenia is okay, but not my favorite.
Zamira is not bad. I prefer Zara.

Aliena is pronounced ah-lyeh-nah
That's actually very pretty. In that case, I would suggest a different spelling.
Aliena is Belarusian Latin standard transcriptionAlena is another common.
Alyena / Aljena is very rare transcription.
