Re: Is finally pregnant, but...
Sybil: It sounds like a toddler trying (and failing) to pronounce the word "Civil," to me. Beyond the strange (almost like a lisp) sound, I suppose that I simply do not find it attractive in contemporary life.Eva: I foresee a difficulty in pronunciation. Some people will utter the name as EE-vah, and others as AYH-vah. That being said, there is little distinction from Ava (a name that I find childish, itself.) It is not a name that I feel drawn to title as beautiful, as a note.Aoife: There will be a hideous amount of people struggling with the pronunciation, I warn you. The resemblance in sound to Eva and Ava is very near, as well. And as a personal view... because it is so ethnic, I cannot imagine it on anyone without Irish blood and an Irish surname to balance (if you possess at least the lastname, I would be kinder on it being used in the United States.)Charlotte: I have never personally found an appeal in it. Charlie is a nice nickname, though. Popularity is rising, as you've noticed-- so that is something to pay mind to.Audie: Very infantile, very incomplete, very unprofessional in sound and sight. All that pushed aside, the namesake that it shares with a car (Audi) is much too strong for it not to be noticed (and mentioned often, most likely.) As a nickname it would function better, though, if you are very attached to it.Beatrix: This is my favorite name out of your list by far. Beatrice is the better form, in my eyes, however. Both are uncommon, unexpected, professional, and considerably beautiful (in a way appropriate for a child and a grown woman.)
Congratulations, I must add!- Francesca
