Joanna - I don't really care for the full name (though the Polish pronunciation is miles ahead of the English one IMO) but I love Joasia/Asia. If I was having a daughter right this moment, Joanna would be my top pick.
Nadia
Agnieszka
Jagoda
Noemi
Katarzyna - it's pretty but it's Kasia that makes me love it!
Maria - the full name doesn't appeal to me at all but Marysia is too adorable!
Róża
Lidia
Krystyna - Krysia!
Elżebieta - full name is very "meh" but Ela is fine and Halszka is mesmerising
Aldona
Józefa - Józia is almost unbearably sweet but it will only work on a small child
Halina - another old lady name on my list that might not quite works as well at all stages of life, super pretty though
Lucyna - I don't like the full name at all but I can't shake Lucynka off recently, it's so endearing!
Grażyna - no good nicknames and it's a meme but I still love it
Tekla - no good nicknames and it's both an old lady name and pretty obscure
Dżesika - the only acceptable Polish spelling, this is my hill to die on
Michał
Oskar
Emil
Jędrzej
Marcel
Tomasz
Feliks - I don't think I could consistently call a little boy Feliks and there aren't any alternatives I like, Felek? Feluś? Maybe they have to grow on me. I have mixed feelings on usability.

I can't believe I didn't know Halszka was short for Elżbieta.

I'm Polish-American, so I toy with using some Polish names. Lately I find many Polish names very warm and charming.
I like Janina too, but I think the pronunciation of J as Y would be confusing in the US. I used to be very into Aniela. I still think it's nice. Sorry, I don't care much for Bogdan.
My favorites lately are Zosia, Malina, Waleria (spelled Valeria), and Aleksy (spelled Alexi).
I also think Zuzanna and Rozalia are really cool.
