What beautiful hair she has!
Bonnie
Ailsa
Gwendolen
Bridget
Caitriona
I like Ailsa and Caitriona best. Both are musical names and match her looks, imo.

Hi !!!!
Thanks for your suggestion!
Caitriona...Is it pronounce like Katrina?
Well... I don't like the -ona end because in Italian is the suffix for big things so for a girl is strange...
Ailsa is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I didn't understand...
"Ailsa" means "island" in Scottish or "Ailsa Craig" is a whole name of a scottish island so Ailsa means somewhat else?
Thank you !!!!!!
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Re: Caitriona (and Catriona), they're basically pronounced the same as Katrina. I've heard Irish and Scottish speakers pronounce it slightly differently, accentuating the o, but it's so slight that it's easy to miss. That's why Katrina makes so much sense to non Irish and Scots. You can go to Forvo.com, type in the name and hear the way it's pronounced by Irish and Scottish speakers. BTW, I can see why the name wouldn't work in Italian.
Re: Ailsa, I've read where Ailsa can mean 'fairy' and also, where it's the Scottish form of Elizabeth (Ealasaid) so I'm not sure of the exact meaning, however, I prefer 'fairy rock' (Ailsa Craig). It's such a beautiful name.
