HelpRe: What do'ya think of these names, ay?
in reply to a message by Joiya
Janae: This is just on the border of my style. In my mind it goes with names like Kendra and Jasmine, which are faves of mine, but it also kind of goes with Destiny and Kierra, which are not really my style. I used to be acquainted with a woman whose daughter was Janae. I think it seems soft and modest.
Danae: I read this name as DAHN-eye-ee, not duh-NAY. Pronounced to rhyme with Renee, I think it is just okay. nms
Fay seems old-ladyish to me, about the same age as Patty and in the same style as Doris. NMS
Renee was a name that was very fashionable on my generation so I think it's dated too. It's a nice name, but not really my style.
Chanté / Shantae: There was a Shantae (prn Shahn-tay) among my high school classmates. At the time it struck me as unusual for a girl who was not black. Anyway this seems dated to me too! I think it's alright. Also nms.
Aglae: Uglae. Aglaia isn't much better. The "agla" sound just doesn't appeal to me at all.
Mireille: makes me think of a Yorkshire terrier. I think it's aggressively frilly. Not ugly, but nms
Dilay: I'm not sure this isn't pronounced dee-LYE. Anyway if it were Dill-AY I would only think of delay, and well, ugh. If it were a foreign name dee-LYE, it is interesting and not bad.
Millaray: Has a fantasyish vibe to me, even though I know it's not a fantasy name. It's appealing, but nms.
Zaray: I think this would be something like za-RAH-y and more like za-RYE in English, but my pronunciation might be totally wrong ... it's pretty like that. If it's za-RAY, I'm not seeing any appeal, not sure why.
My favorite name with this ending is Desiree.
I also like Soleil (roughly so-LAY in my accent).
And Alizee (http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/alizee). I met a little girl from France named it. Al-lee-ZAY roughly
