Aliyos to name a girl are not and never were necessary. Meaningful, but not necessary.
OP, you have the ruach hakodesh. Just make sure you don't pick an unusual name and it will be wonderful.

I love Leeba.
Can't see myself ever doing a Raizy, or a Perry.

Sara, Rifky, Leah and Dina are Hebrew names.

Since when did Yiddish names become a Chassidish thing? Op, is this unusual in your circles? Maybe it's more unusual in MO communities, but I do know plenty of MO people with Yiddish names. I have noticed that Israelis, across the board, use Yiddish names much less. I think that's a pity. While there are some Yiddish names that sounds less than beautiful, such as shprintzy and some that come with negative connotations, like Yenta, there are a lot of pretty or neutral sounding names. Aidel/udel, raizy, Mindy, Minna, Perel, Charna, Shayna, Bayla, Gitty, Faigy, Hindy, Kayla, Leba, Mirel, Zelda, Relah, Silka, Ella...

Yeah, I know people who aren't chassidish who are Breindy, Roizy, Bayla, Kayla, Mindy, Liba, Aidel, Gittel, Sima (is that Yiddish?), Shaina, etc.

Sima is Aramaic, it means treasure.

In my MO NY circle, some Yiddish names work and some don't.
Liba/Leebi- I would consider Hebrew.
Suri, Mindy, Peri-work
I would personally skip Zeesel(unless you run FC and then you are the most awesome person I know), Frumma, Charna, Brindel, Shprinzel. I couldn't even come up with more names as they are remote to me.
I would consider a Dov-Bear like option if you are naming for someone.
I.e.- Tzippora-Faiga and call either Tzippora or Tzippi (or go with Yona).
Zehava-Golda
You get the idea.
If it is not your first, you may want to get the directory from your children's school and look at the first names on the class lists.
(If it is your first- see if you can get a directory anyway).

I'm MO in Israel and live the name Mushka, but wouldn't give it as a first name because I'm 99% sure the kid would resent it. I am still considering giving a normal Hebrew first name with Mushka as a middle name.
I think Liba or Shayna would be fine, but that's about it.

Liba is most definitely Yiddish. It means love. (Ich hub der lieb - I love you).
