For the Kaorus: Splash Star's Kaoru's name is written with the kanji "薫", meaning scent. Fresh's Kaoru's name is written in katakana as "カオル". Katakana are used either for foreign words or for emphasis, so maybe the latter Kaoru's name isn't Japanese after all.

For the Madokas: Madoka Aguri's surname is written with the kanji "円", meaning "circle" or "yen". Yen are Japan's currency. The personal names of Akimoto Madoka and Kaguya Madoka are written in hiragana as "まどか". Unlike kanji, which have innate meanings, a hiragana is like a Roman letter in that it only has its own sound. Because of this, we don't exactly know the meaning of まどか, but it's probably the same as 円.
