I'm guessing at least a couple of those actor-types are going by assumed stage names.Love Solomon but the Soliman spelling ruins it for me, personally.Taliza is the nicest-sounding of the females from work, for me.There is a male country/singer-songwriter artist by the name of Radney Foster, born in Texas, USA.

Carmi is cute! I like Carmen for a girl and I've never thought of Carmi as a nickname. I guess it is really really childish.Taliza is really pretty!

I like Carmi. I think it is pretty, but still has some strong sounds that are not too common in naming trends right now. I know like three women named Beauty, from the Philippines... and one named Pretty. I think it's a pretty gutsy culture over there as far as naming, and I love that the names carry a lightheartedness which totally epitomizes the people-group. Cherry Pie is a bit too much for me though. Haha. Interestingly, I know a LaCherrie here in the states. She is about 17, and a woman of color... they pronounce it lah-sher-ee.

Clare for a guy is kinda cool. I also really like the sound of Oana and Divina. I can't decide on Radny. I think Rodney is retro cool... and any name with "rad" borders on hipster, but I am not sure I like this name. I assume it is a guy. On a girl it would be decidedly aweful.
