I find most of them weird (Pipra) or with a cutesy meaning (Katida), or even trashy (Karesinda sounds dirty lol).
They sound either very made up or "normal but Esperantoized" to me. I like:Adorinda
Aleksandro (very good)
Chiela but to me it's the Yiddish feminine form of Yehiel and pron. khee-lah lol
Esperanta (nice)
Fajra (very beautiful)
Gaja
Glorinda
Koralo
Ludoviko (nice)
Luksa (nice)
Marajha (very good!)
Merita (good!)
Orabela
Rozabela
Rubena (great)
Safira (great)
Valora (good)
Venka (great)

Esperanto names I likeAdorinda - Also like Adora. Perhaps a bit too cutesy to use in RL though

Aminda - Also like Amanda and Ananda
Esperanta - Also like Esperanza
Fiera
Glorinda - Also like Gloria and Glory
Juvela
Merita - Also like Merit, for both sexes
Mirinda - Also like Miranda :-p
Orabela - Also like Orabel and Orabella, medieval names
Pipra - Also like Pippa, as a nn for Philippa
Rozabela - Also like Rosabella, Rosabel, and Rosabelle
Rubena - Could also be used as a fem. form of Ruben
Safira - Also like Sapphire, for both sexes, and Sapphira
Stelara - Also like Stella
Tondra - Unfortunately sounds like a stereotypically lower-class Black name
