Amarilla
If you don't mind, I'm curious to know what your book says about Amarilla. I recently came across it among the descendants of one of my ancestors and posted it here. A commenter related it to "yellow"; I had automatically related it to the amaryllis flower and the Greek component meaning "to sparkle". Were either of us close?

Book says :
''Amarilla - German 'shiny' or Spanish 'yellow'. There is a city in Texas called Amarillo.''
HOWEVER, Amarilla is also a Hungarian variant of Amaryllis.

Aram - I like this one. My husband said it wasn't usable on a white Canadian baby, and he might be right. But I like it.
Brannon - Huh, more interesting than Brandon. And I've always thought Brennan was a bit off. Brannon could grow on me if it didn't look like a type-o.
Coleridge - Cool! I like Coleman and Coleridge is even cooler.
Dumont - Intriguing. I don't mind it.
Houston - blech
Imanol - Sounds like a brand name
Mohave - any idea how this is pronounced?
Rurik - interesting, but I'm not liking it
Simpson - Kinda fun, but the show would be such a strong association
Tadija - Ooo, that sounds pretty ...for a girl
Amarilla - too frilly for me
Crisanta - the 'santa' part makes it pretty unusable
Sila - Cute, though it looks like a nickname
Zahara - Nice. Nickname Zara? :)

Mohave is after the Native American tribe, so I assume that’s how it’s pronounced, since the book doesn’t list pronunciations. Wiki says (pronounced: /mɵˈhɑːviː/ mo-hah-vee).
