Possible explanations/associations for several of the above:
Blaidd means “wolf” in Welsh. (It’s also the name of a half-wolf character in the 2022 video game Elden Ring.)
Buddug is based on the Welsh word budd, which means “benefit, profit.” It’s the Welsh equivalent of Boudicca (the name of the ancient British queen who led a revolt against the Romans).
Fen might refer to the type of wetland.
Glesni means “blueness” or “greenness” in Welsh.
Haaland is the surname of Norwegian soccer player Erling Haaland (who currently plays for Manchester City F.C.).

Here are the top 10 girl names and top 10 boy names in each of the two countries individually:
Renaelia’s usage was no doubt inspired by British influencer Imogen Horton, who welcomed a baby girl named Renaelia in September of 2022. Several weeks after the birth, Imogen posted a video in which she and her husband Spencer revealed the baby’s name and explained how it was coined.
Volodymyr’s usage may have been influenced by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
