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

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...
