HelpRe: Ephraim and others
in reply to a message by Ismene
I like Ephraim.
The others I'm not too familiar with, but I've looked them up.
I like the way Jowan is apparently pronounced, JOH-an. I love names from the United Kingdom & Ireland, sometimes they are a bit difficult for the average American (which I am, not sure of your nationality) to pronounce.
Swithin seems less strong as a name to me, but I LOVE when men are named Whitney simply because they can be called "Whit", which to me is so handsome on a man. I'm not sure if it really works with Swithin, but I'd love to see other names where this was available.
Janvier will always be January to me, and it will always be prounounced Jzahn-vee-ay.
Reynold/Reynald has some cool history. It's familiar enough. Not my favorite, but definitely could work for the right person.

I like "Jahn-vee-ay" too. That French accent is hard to convey through text :) Id try for a more authentic pronunciation but am prepared to settle on a more "Americanized" one
