HelpRe: Opinions needed on 6 names
in reply to a message by guest33
Audrey - Very nice, although I don't personally like it. The "odd" beginning bothers me a bit. Still, I like seeing it on other people's children.
Hana - Hana begs to be pronounced differently than Hannah. Unless you have a real reason for jacking with the spelling, make her life easier and go with Hannah. I do like Hannah, FWIW. It's a calm, gentle, pretty name.
Lila (no h!) - I like it a lot. My one criticism is that there are a lot of these L intensive names floating around right now: Layla, Lila, Lily, Lillian, Lola, Lulu...None of them really stand out from the crowd anymore. I like Lila anyway, though. It's my favorite from your list.
Juliana - Not my style, but a fine name just the same. With this spelling, I don't think you'll have much trouble getting the pronunciation that you want.
Evangeline - Bleh! I do not get the appeal. As a mn, though, it would be unobjectionable.
Lorelei, nn Rory - Cute, in theory, but I consider the Lorelei's story to be a negative association. Maybe you'd like Aurora, nn Rory? I know if I had to pick the imagery I had attached to my name, I'd much rather have the glorious dawn than drowned sailors bobbing in the Rhine.
Hana - Hana begs to be pronounced differently than Hannah. Unless you have a real reason for jacking with the spelling, make her life easier and go with Hannah. I do like Hannah, FWIW. It's a calm, gentle, pretty name.
