Julie: I'm not a big fan but I also don't like
Julia so that could have something to do with it.
Robin: I actually prefer this spelling on both genders. I think the spelling is just as unisex as the name is.
Carrie: I prefer it as a nn for
CarolineMary: Hmm still not sold on this one
Melissa: I love the meaning but I still feel it is too dated, it is very pretty though and if I saw it on a child under 5 I think i would be pleasantly surprised/
Jessie: Hmm I only like
Jesse as a full name on boys.
Love Jessie as a nn on girls short for
Jessamine.
James:
Love it without a nn, so handsome and strong
Pronunciation: I pronounce
Aron and
Aaron the same but
Erin is completely different for me.
Aaron is arin and
Erin is erin if that makes sense, just the initial sound is different. For me,
Kerry and
Carrie are also different.
Kerry is KER-ee and
Carrie is KAR-ee. I live in New Zealand :)
