HelpRe: Favorite name from your culture, Favorite name from a foreign culture...?
in reply to a message by Joiya
Names I'd use:
Amy, Edith, Virginia, Julia, Claudia, River
Nicholas, Francis, Damon, Cyrus, Marcus
Some names I like the look/sound of but would never use due to feeling like they're too foreign and not really knowing what they connote in the cultures of origin:
Ramon, Ravi, Dimitri, Ruslan, Mitra
Amparo, Dominique, Deirdre, Bronwen, Radha, Shirin, Vasilisa
- Dominique, Deirdre, and Bronwen are probably passably American usages but not comfy for me
- mirfak

I just read your list and thought how bold and unexpected the combo Claudia River would be!
Also a fan of Cyrus btw.
And, I feel the same way about Deidre. Deidre and Moira are two names that never make it to the usability list because they are just outside the realm of "making sense" for me. Vasilisa is nice. I am not sure I have heard of it before!
