I love all of the names on your list, and I'm especially happy that you linked your PNL! My favorites for boys on your list are Viktor and Yuriy; they're such handsome, amazing names! As for the girls, I'm in love with Halyna, Yaryna, and Yuliya!
Just for fun, I'm going to say names from your PNL that I also love: Kalyna (my favorite name of them all, actually!), Nadiya, and Zoryana for girls; Anton, Vadym, Yakiv, Serhiy, Rostyslav, and Ivan are so handsome for boys!

I really like both of your lists! A lot of Slavic and traditional names. I'm from Czechia, and these are rarely used nowadays. My favorite is Viktor "Vitya". I love Vitya, though I'd choose Vitaliy as the full name. Yukhym is new to me; I like the sound and meaning. Horyk is a cute nickname. Too bad there isn't an equivalent to it in Czech. Igor/Ihor sounds a bit too strict/tough. From the girls' list, I especially enjoy Svitlana "Svitka" and Yaryna "Yarka".
In Ukraine we still use the traditional names quite often.
I'm not surprised you've not heard of the name Yukhym, it's not a common name. It's a form of the Greek name Euthymios. The Russian form is Yefim if you've heard that one.

My opinion is a native Russian speaker/Ukrainian Jew:
I love... Volodymyr "Volodya", Oleksandr "Sasha", Yuriy "Yura", Svitlana "Svitka" (I love names ending in Ka/Ko) Yuliya "Yulka", Myroslava "Myra"
Myroslava and Volodymyr are my favorites. I love the association with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Myroslava is a typical Ukrainian name, which makes it even prettier. Volodymyr and Myroslava are Slavic classics and an amazing way to honor Ukrainian heritage. They are also long and elegant, making the nicknames more versatile.

I want to preface this by saying I am from the US, though I'm going to try not to let my western bias get in the way.
1. Volodymyr (Volodya) — I personally don't enjoy the sound of this, and feel like the shortened version is even too much of a mouthful.
Rating: 4
2. Yukhym (Yusha, Yukhymko) — I like Yusha! The other two aren't currently in the database so I honestly don't know for certain how to pronounce them. I want to guess I do like them, the way I'm imagining they're pronounced in my head.
Rating: 8 for Yusha || 5 for Yukhym
3. Oleksandr (Sasha) — Good, classic name. I love Sasha.
Rating: 9
4. Viktor (Vitya) — I like it a lot.
Rating: 10
5. Yuriy (Yuriyko, Yura) or Ihor — I don't like Ihor. It reminds me of Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh and I just really don't like the sound. I'm not a fan of Yuriy either, but don't mind Yura. Yuriyko (seems) a bit odd.
Rating: 5 for Yura || Otherwise 3

1. Svitlana (Svitka) — I like this name a lot and I have Svetlana on my own list (of likes, not names I'd use for obvious reasons).
Rating: 8
2. Halyna (Halya) — I adore this sweet name.
Rating: 9
3. Yuliya (Yulka) or Ulyana (Lyanka, Ulya) — Yuliya is gorgeous, and has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Ulyana is also very pretty. I have only good things to say of both.
Rating: 10
4. Yaryna (Yarka) — Pretty enough just not really my type. I don't like the sound of Yarka.
Rating: 6
5. Myroslava (Myra, Slava) — Very pretty, and also on my PNL as Miroslava.

Yukhym is in the submitted name database
https://www.behindthename.com/name/yukhym/submitted
It's pronounced YUW-khim, the kh being like h but heavier. The i is like the short English i, like in "hit".
Yusha also is different than the one in the database but they're pronounced pretty similar
The Ihor association with Eeyore doesn't apply where I live because our version of Winnie the Pooh that character is called Ya Ya.

I’ve never heard Myroslava before, it’s beautiful.
It means "glory of peace" in Slavic, the Ukrainian variant of Miroslava.
How do you spell Yevheniy from your list?
Rest I rated ^^

I checked PNL that you linked to rate names, and I don't know how to say out loud Yevheniy.
