Ebru - I've never heard of this before; I think English-speakers would more likely rhyme it with "Hebrew"
Edana - also new to me; would not have intuited your pronunciation
Eden - this is EE-den to me
Edith - EE-dith to me
Edwina - have never met one
Eileen - I like this;
Eilish will get "EYE-lish" and "Like eyelash?"
Elaine - longtime favorite
Elea (eh-leh-ah) - I say EHL-ee-uh, your code, to me, looks more like eh-lay-uh; I can't even say this with a short "e", like "let" in the middle
Eleanor /
Elinor - lovely
Ellinor - don't care for this spelling
Eleanora - I tend to simplify with
Elenora sometimes want to say "EHL-ee-uh-NOR-uh" even though I don't do that with
EleanorEleonor - this looks like I'm meant to break into four and make the "o" heard
Elena - lovely and elegant
Elina (E-lee-nah) /
Eliana (E-lee-ah-nah) - prefer the latter
Elif - don't care for the sound of this
Elin - this is a bit better-sounding, but may be mistaken as a kreatiff
EllenElisa (e-LEE-zah) /
ElissaElla /
Elle - nice
Ellen - nice
Elsa (EL-sah) /
Elsie - sweet
Elvira (el-wee-rah) - don't care for any pronunciation; yours will be tough to get folks to say, I think
Ema /
Emma - like the latter spelling
Emelia (eh-MEH-lee-ah) /
Emilia - latter is lovely
Emilie (e-MEE-lee-eh) /
Emily - first will confuse folks; like latter
Emmanuelle - alright
Emmy - nickname
Enid - don't care for sound
Enya - nice
Eowyn - lovely
Esme /
Esmeralda - like both, third syllable probably won't be said quite like you say it
Esther - alright
Eugenia - not sure I get how you really want this, but English speakers will have a tough time with it, I bet
Eulalia - same as above
Eve - nice
Evelina (ev-eh-lee-nah) /
Eveline (ev-eh-LEEN) /
Evelyn (EV-eh-lin) - yes, yes, yes
Elva - charming
Enie (e-nee) - don't care for this
I tend to express some of my vowel sounds a bit differently than the key here at BtN when "decoding" (because BtN uses "e" to indicate two different sounds). For me "eh" is like the "e" in "let", "ee" is like the "ee" in "beet", "ay" is like the "a" in "care" and the "e" in
Eowyn. When you decode are you using "e" and "eh" interchangeably? Or am I missing another sound the "e" can make?
Eamon - nice
Edward (ED-vahrt) - I don't see English-speakers sticking to your pronunciation
Edwin - lovely
Elias (e-LEE-ahs) - I prefer ee-LIE-əs, but like both and yours is easy to say, if the end is like the word "us", if you want it to rhyme with "
Ross", you'll have to correct a lot
Elijah (e-LEE-yah)- English speakers will likely insist on ee-LIE-zhə or eh-LIE-zhə
Elliott - longtime fave
Eloy - not wild about the sound, associate with "The Time Machine"
Elton - prefer
Alton, but okay
Elvis - a bold choice
Emil (E-meel) /
Emilio (e-MEE-lee-yo) - I think English-speakers are familiar enough with these
Emanuel (e-MAH-nuw-el) - looks like you want "MAWN"? Most will say "MAN" and may start it with "ee" rather than "eh"
Emmett - a charmer
Eric /
Erik (er-EEK) - I doubt this will work at all and may get teased because of similarity to the word, "reek" or to phrases like, "Eeek, a mouse!"
Ethan - longtime fave
Eugen (OI-gen) - like "oil"? I think people will try to make start like the word "you"
Evan - nice
Elian (e-LEE-ahn) - might work, but you probably won't quite get "awn" like "fawn", if that's what you indicate here
I may have just confused things here, but I tried...
