I am not sure if these are all for girls or some for boys. But here it goes....
Sylver or Sylvian?--Don't really like either for boy or girl, but Sylvian is better than Sylver.
River or Star?--River for a boy and Star for a girl. I like both these names!
Lumiere - loom-ee-AIR/loom-YAIR (dh loves this one, is his fav) or Lux?--Lumiere is the name of a character from Disney's Beauty and the Beast, I prefer Lux if I had to choose between the 2.
Serenity or Eternity--Neither, makes me think of a stripper name, sorry!
Zohara or Setara--Setara is a pretty name for a girl.
Shahanaz (sha-HAH-naz) or Kalika (ka-LY-ka)--the second choice
Venus or Lexis--Lexis is pretty. Venus makes me think of the razor.....
Michaelet or Mikailet (mi-KAY-let or mi-KY-let)-the first one
Shaylet or Sahar--don't really care for either.
Gwendilys (gwen-da-lizz) or Gwenafedd? (gwenaveth)--I can't pick one, neither sounds really like a name to me.
Branwen, Caridwen or Serenwen--Branwen
Blaise or Lais?--Blaise
Crimson or Azule (AZyool) or Azure? (AZyur)--Azure
Rionach - ree-a-nock or Saoirse (syair-sha) or Realta (reeyl-ta)--Realta
Astraphe(ass-tra-fay) or aristophe?--Each reminds me too much of apostrophe
Vixen or Winter--Winter
Aster (ay-ster) or Easter or Astara--Aster, like this one!
Kshara or Lovelace-neither
Chequane or Aquane (cha/a-kway-nay)-neither
Sanga (sung-ga) or Ajah (ayzha)--neither
Caro or Kalas (KAH-laz)--Caro
Lark or Muse--Lark

Aurelia or Arcadia?--my absolute favorite from this entire list, I love this name....Aurelia. (Have only known one and she is just a gorgeous person inside and out!)
I know that I didn't choose from several, but I just couldn't see them as names. BUt you have some great choices on there. My favorite is Aurelia, I think its such a nice name, very UNcommon, and a great choice!

Honestly, these names are NMS & that's putting it lightly! I can't even pronounce most of them even though you tried sounding them out for us. And many seemingly simple names I would mispronounce (Aster, Azure, etc.). This was no easy task!
The only ones I could imagine naming a child are Eden (beautiful), Ember, Aurelia, & maybe Serenity.

Auriel or Mikaia? Auriel
Eden or Willow? Willow
Ember or Briar? Briar

Sylver or Sylvian?- Sylvian. Sylver is a colour
River or Star?- River. Star is too stripperish
Lumiere - loom-ee-AIR/loom-YAIR (dh loves this one, is his fav) or Lux?- Lyx. Lumiere reminds me of the candle in Beauty and the Beast
Serenity or Eternity- Serenity. Eternity is too stripperish, again.
Zohara or Setara- Zohara. Both are nice though.
Shahanaz (sha-HAH-naz) or Kalika (ka-LY-ka)- Kalika. Sounds nice
Venus or Lexis- Lexis... like this a lot.
Michaelet or Mikailet (mi-KAY-let or mi-KY-let)- neither. Both are too trendy
Shaylet or Sahar- Sahar.
Gwendilys (gwen-da-lizz) or Gwenafedd? (gwenaveth) - Gwenafedd, love how this sounds, just don't like the spelling at all.
Branwen, Caridwen or Serenwen- all sound bad to me
Blaise or Lais?- Lais
Crimson or Azule (AZyool) or Azure? (AZyur) - neither

From your list, my favourites are Aurelia, Gwenafedd (although I don't like this spelling), Ember, Zohara, and Lexis.
Sylver or Sylvian - Sylvian; if you do use Silver, at least spell it right.
River or Star - River, I love it!
Lumiere or Lux - Lux; can you imagine how much poor Lumiere would get teased?
Serenity or Eternity - Serenity, though I prefer Serena.
Zohara or Setara - Zohara, but both are nice.
Shahanaz or Kalika - Kalika
Venus or Lexis - Lexis, but it reminds me of a car (Lexus?).
Michaelet or Mikailet - Mikailet
Shaylet or Sahar - Sahar, but really neither.
Gwendilys or Gwenafedd - Gwendilys; both are nice, but the Welsh spelling of Gwenafedd is hard on people trying to pronounce the name.
Branwen, Caridwen or Serenwen - Caridwen, though traditionally it's spelled Cerridwen.
Blaise or Lais - Blaise
Crimson or Azule or Azure - Crimson; we have Scarlett, why not Crimson?
Rionach or Saoirse or Realta - Saoirse
Astraphe or Aristophe - Aristophe, but really neither.
Vixen or Winter - Winter; Vixen has an unappealing meaning for a young child and sounds like a stripper's name.
Aster or Easter or Astara - Astara
Kshara or Lovelace - ummm...neither?
Chequane or Aquane - ditto, neither.
Sanga or Ajah - neither.
Caro or Kalas - Caro, Cara is sweet too. Kalas I prefer spelled Callas.
Lark or Muse - Lark
Auriel or Mikaia - Auriel
Eden or Willow - Willow, love it!
Ember or Briar - Briar, very pretty.
Aurelia or Arcadia - Tough choice, both are great. I think Aurelia.
My favorites:
Aurelia
Arcadia (NN Cady?)
Willow
Briar
Zohara
River - but this is more of a boy's name to me.
HTH.
Oooh, fun. LOL Let's see ...
Sylver or Sylvian? Sylvian (Sylver makes me think of a horse, while Sylvian just reminds me of the Sylvan Learning Centers - but you might not have those where you live anyway)
River or Star? River
Lumiere - loom-ee-AIR/loom-YAIR (dh loves this one, is his fav) or Lux? Lumiere ... despise Lux (although I know I'm probably alone in this, but it just reminds me of Deluxe or Luxurious ... not the classiest names you could give a child)
Serenity or Eternity? Serenity (Eternity just brings to mind a perfume)
Zohara or Setara? Setara
Shahanaz (sha-HAH-naz) or Kalika (ka-LY-ka)? er ... Kalika, but really nms
Venus or Lexis? Lexis, although both remind me of product names
Michaelet or Mikailet (mi-KAY-let or mi-KY-let)? Michaelet (although I think most will try to say Michael-et)
Shaylet or Sahar? Shaylet (sounds like a diminutive of Shay, but Sahar looks unfinished)
Gwendilys (gwen-da-lizz) or Gwenafedd? (gwenaveth) Gwendilys (the pronunciation gwenaveth is nice, but she will get gwen-a-fed most of the time I'm afraid)
Branwen, Caridwen or Serenwen? Branwen ... love it!
Blaise or Lais? Blaise ... Lais just sounds too PG for me
Crimson or Azule (AZyool) or Azure? (AZyur) Azure
Rionach - ree-a-nock or Saoirse (syair-sha) or Realta (reeyl-ta)? Rionach
Astraphe(ass-tra-fay) or aristophe? Aristophe (although both look a bit too close to apostrophe ... but Astraphe looks like Ass-trap)
Vixen or Winter? Winter (again, Vixen is a bit too PG for me to name a child)
Aster (ay-ster) or Easter or Astara? Aster
Kshara or Lovelace? Lovelace, but neither are really my style
Chequane or Aquane (cha/a-kway-nay)? Aquane (I'm assuming from the pronunciation you're not going for sha-kwon here, but that's what I read)
Sanga (sung-ga) or Ajah (ayzha)? Ajah, hands down
Caro or Kalas (KAH-laz)? Caro
Lark or Muse? Lark ... I'd actually like Larken quite a bit
Auriel or Mikaia? Auriel, again, hands down
Eden or Willow? Eden!
Ember or Briar? Briar ... I'm a sucker for fairy tales LOL
Aurelia or Arcadia? Aurelia ... also like Aurora
HTH
