Only Milo and Serena. The rest sound like you're deliberately going for obscurity or something. Milo and Serena are at least fairly common. I know a bunch of Milos under age 5 and a couple of Serenas.

Hate? This is not hate. Millennials are such delicate flowers.

The ones I like best are Silas, Jasper, Willa, and Serena. My favorite two are Jasper and Willa!

(Katarina or Ekaterina is called Katya. No babies in the Russian speaking country where I live have Katya on their birth certificate).

Lots of people do: http://www.babynamewizard.com/baby-name/girl/katie

Willa - awful
Aria - not good
Calla - clunky, not good
Katya - are ya Russian? or a former prima ballerina? if so, it's fine.
Serena - ugly

This. Also the boys are painfully hipster-ish, trying too hard. Just awful. Also, while I actually like Katya, it's a nickname really. Maybe Katarina, and call her Katya.

Trying too hard to what?

Also, what constitutes trying hard enough, or not trying hard enough?

Silas -- okay
Jasper -- yuck
Milo -- "Look at me! I'm a hipster!"
Aris -- DOuble yuck



Lyra "lee-ra" -- I would pronounce Lie-ra, since that's how you pronounce the constellation Lyra
Willa -- I actually kind of like this, as a literature nerd
Aria -- yuck
Calla -- meh
Katya -- Not crazy about it as a given name, but it's not totally awful
Serena -- fine

Um, probably. My parents did. I'm named for my great-grandmother, so her parents did, too.

People here are way too conservative in their names. All of these names are on trend and won't sound weird at all to our childrens' generation.

I like Milo and Silas best of the boys names, followed by Jasper.

Aria, Willa, or Serena for a girl.

I don't understand how Calla can be "clunky".
