3 new babies
A few friends of mine have had babies in the past couple weeks:Myriallia Charlotte (sister Anastasia LaRae)Claira MichelleSilas DavidWDYT?I like Charlotte and Silas, and Claira is one of my favorite names, but spelled Clara. (Not sure why they went with that spelling of Claira - possibly to make sure people would pronounce it CLAIRE-a as opposed to CLAR-a, though I think for a lot of people in the States that's the default pronunciation anyway. [I prefer the latter, but getting people to use it would be a little more difficult in the States.])

you taught me the courage of stars before you left
how light carries on endlessly, even after death
with shortness of breath, you explained the infinite
how rare and beautiful it is to even exist

I have never heard of Myriallia... I do like the Myra part though and find it totally usable simply for that nickname potential. Anatasia is much pretty imo though. Claira Michelle is not my favorite spelling, but I love all Clar-names and Michelle is a great choice to pair with it. Silas David is downright handsome. It also is the name of the actor who pay Nick (Grimm), Silas David Weir. I happen to like that actor a lot and have always liked his name.

Myriallia is crazy complicated. LOL. It reminds me of a family I've heard of with made-up/smooshed names: Tessabella, Katrianne, Zanemarcus and one more I can't remember.Claira is a terrible spelling. I like Silas a lot.

I don't like any of the names and Myriallia is awkward. Claira Michelle is the best but Clara would've been much better.

They're in their mid-to-late 20s. They don't strike me as the type to have named a kid specifically after an anime character, but perhaps they heard it in passing somehow and decided they liked it.

I should've re-worded that. I meant that they were influenced by hearing the name on the show.

I don't like any of them, but Miriallia takes the cake. They went crazy with vowels.
