Re: WDYT? Suggestions? (Girls names)
in reply to a message by Rosalia_Paw
Estelle is not to my taste but Stella is. Pity about the -a.
Harriet is popular - I think, deservedly - in the UK; I'd use it happily.
The only Lisette I know is Dutch, and she pronounces it liZET, like Liz + ETT.
I much prefer Marianne to Marion.
Nadine is very dated and I don't much enjoy the rhythm. Prefer Nadia, but again, there's that -a again.
What about Yvonne, or Yvette? Sally, rather than Sarah? Jean, or Joan? Rosemary or Rosamond, rather than Rose?
Elspeth, rather than Elizabeth - or how about Elsabe (pron. ELsuhbee)?
