Gaia is lovely

Talia

averythinline · 16/07/2015 16:55

if you hadnt have said would have thought lynelle would be like ly-nell

Talia - is nice but having known french/spanish girls with that name usually pronounce Ta lea or Thalia - so tha leea

I like Gaia - and great meaning as the mother of the world..or Earth

So would pick Talia/Gaia

Thalia is the only one I vaguely like. Ranny is awful, Melina sounds like blood in your poo, linelle sounds like a sanitary towel.

Melina makes me think of GI bleeding...

silverglitterpisser · 16/07/2015 16:48

Absolutely no offence but most of these sound like middle aged country singers or something to me?

Thalia I have heard of n is lovely, tho.

RoobyTuesday · 16/07/2015 16:48

Talia and Gaia are nice though.

RoobyTuesday · 16/07/2015 16:47

Melina is the same as 'malaena' which is a medical term for blood in the poo so I'd avoid that one!Smile

quesadillas · 16/07/2015 16:47

Jocelyn definitely the best.

Jocelyn and Talia are lovely.

Gaia nice but might get some bullying in school.

The others sound made up to me!

LaceyLee · 16/07/2015 16:45

Talia is the only one I've heard of and is a nice name. Can also be spelled Thalia I think.

Not sure how to pronounce Gaia. Lynelle sounds like a contraceptive pill...prefer Melissa to Melina personally but please not ranny!! Sounds very odd...like granny but missing a letter and I can envisage much playground teasing...
