Are these names okay in Israel?
Leib
Mendel
Ber/Berel/Berish
Mindy
Liba
Tzirel
Aidel
They are all on our baby name list, but we live in Israel and I don't want to be too weird. And we'd most likely be using them only as second names, but I'm not positive about that.

I have a cousin named Dov Ber who lives in Israel. Many of his Israeli neighbors refer to his wife as "Mrs. Ber"  they think it's his last name! I don't live there so can't offer any advice or opinion, but your post just made me think of that.

In my neighborhood they would be. Chareidi, a mix of Sefardi, Ashkenazi, Americans and Belzers.

Those are all beautiful names! Most people I know, family included, have Yiddish names... I know a lot of people with classic Yiddish names like Shaindel, Reichel, Lieba, Tzvi Hirsch, Leib, Dov Ber and etc. We live in Yerushalayim. Perhaps in more Dati or Hiloni areas one doesn't hear many Yiddish names, but if you are Haredi it's quite common.
