HelpRe: Flavors of the week
in reply to a message by Ismene
I like Solene and Rosy.
Not a top 10, but recently I've been thinking about:
Jenny / Jennie (should this be a nickname for Jennifer or can it stand on its own?)
Martha
Julia
Leonor
Gloria
Kezia
Esther
Aaron
Kit as a nn for Christopher
Michael
Micah

Jenny / Jennie - I like it on it's own, actually. I'm not normally in favor of obvious nicknames as full first names but, I really don't like Jennifer. Jenny at least has a sort of retro vibe going on.... Sort of like Millie or something- where they are clearly nicknames but they have been previously used in full so much that they kind of occupy their own space separate from their origin.
Martha - it's ok. I vastly prefer Marta
Julia - pretty. Classic. Kinda boring
Leonor - I prefer spelled Lenore. It feels more to the point and complete
Gloria - love it. One of those ones I can't really see myself using but that I wish more people did
Kezia - it certainly looks cool. Not really that keen on the "keh-ZI-ah" pronunciation though.
Esther - I like
Aaron - handsome and timeless
Kit - I LOVE Kit! If I were forced to use Christopher I would most definitely use either Kit or Kester as a short form
Michael - BORING. Even more boring than John, IMHO.
Micah - seems like it should be more popular than it really is. It's handsome
Martha - it's ok. I vastly prefer Marta
Julia - pretty. Classic. Kinda boring
Leonor - I prefer spelled Lenore. It feels more to the point and complete
Gloria - love it. One of those ones I can't really see myself using but that I wish more people did

Micah - seems like it should be more popular than it really is. It's handsome

How do you pronounce Kezia? :) I've heard it several different ways!

I went to school with a Kezia! She said it "KAY-zee-ah".

Like keh-ZEE-ah.
A lot of people say it KEH-zee-uh with the stress on the first syllable and the 'ah' kind of turning into an 'uh' sound if they've just read my name off something. I mostly use Kizzy :)

I like "KEH-zee-uh" but realize that that's not necessarily "correct" :)

I think there probably isn't one single correct way. It probably has a lot to do with your accent and what languages you speak. Obviously I pronounce it how my parents pronunce it ;)
KEH-zee-uh doesn't make my crazy or anything. It's just not how we say it.
