Yes, kalina is very popular in Ukraine , even more - it is a symbol of Ukraine. I have two bushes of it in my garden. We have many surnames which come from it. But I have never head about such first name.

Very often people in immigration give their children very nice name that are absolutely impossible in Ukraine ( for example Kvitka, Zirka, etc )

There is a very popular name Galina ( Halina - Галина) and rare one Kylyna - Килина.
