Re: Trying to name a girl
in reply to a message by Sheena
Esther is not one of my favs. It sounds so old-lady-ish and almost has a bad, musty kind of smell to me. But I guess the flow of both those combos is okay :)
MAH-rin is the only pronunciation I know. I really, really love this name and if it wasn't so totally a boy's name to me I'd say please use this one!!
Maren is pronounced MAH-ren. That's almost exactly the same (especially if you reduce the last vowel) and it's always a girl's name.
There's also Mari (MAH-ree) and Mairi (also MAH-ree)
