Re: Do you like these?
Ida (will this become popular like Ava and Ada? Do you like it?) I don't see it getting anything even close to popular, and I haven't noticed Ada being popular either, not like Ava. I don't like it, it's dowdy.
Pauline (I'm starting to find this cool) It's better than Paula, but nothing special. Paulina is kind of neat.
Inez: No. The American pronunciation is Eye-NEZZ. Any other pronunciation is not going to fly.
Lelia: Likely to be misunderstood as Leila/Layla. Lelia is clumsy in the mouth and kind of weak.
Zora: Goofy, like a friendly witch in a picture book. (For all I know, that's where I get that idea from.)
Warren: Warren's time has come and gone. With good reason.
Nelson: I know a Mexican boy with this name, he's probably twelve. I think it's modestly popular and it's okay.
Winfield (this was semi-popular in the 1800s) Too puffed-up and pompous.
