There are Yiddish names that make come backs. No ones naming Draizel, Shprintza, Dobra, Hentsha but there are so many Kayla, Baylie, Reva. It’s a little on its way out already but those are Yiddish great grandma names that a few years ago everyone was using even if their real great grandma was Carmella or Aliza.

Depends where. I know very many Draizys and Hentshys. Kayla is less common. Baylie is not even yiddish it is aramaic and very common. I don't know anyone named Reva.

I don't think a Yiddish name is less authentic than a Hebrew version. My grandmother Baila is the most authentic Jewish woman I've ever met. Our family doesn't speak Yiddish but we have some Yiddish names nonetheless.
It's just fascinating that in my community nobody would just make up a name or change a name to a new version (except Hebrew). So it's fascinating to me that someone named their baby Gitty thousand years ago and now we have a whole bunch of little Gittys.
Some names are more obviously translated, but others sound like just a word someone chose. Like Yenta, that was mentioned in this thread. Or Ita.

Doesn’t Baila come from white in Russian?

I thought it comes from Spanish, similar to Shprintza.
Bella = Beauty/beautiful one

It has your name. See post above. שינא
A lot of people mistakenly think Yiddish names are spelled with two yuds, but most are spelled with one.
For reference of the spelling of the name here is a matzeiva. You will see it has the name of the Skulen Rebbe's wife Shayna Ruchel - https://www.geni.com/photo/vie.....77983
