Felicia and Sharnessa

How do you pronounce Felicia? Is it fel-EE-sha? or fel-ISS-ee-a?

And what do you think of Sharnessa? I know it is a made up name. A girl called this was in a band I LOVED when I was younger. What kind of impression does it give you?

Vanessa Sharnessa Jenkins from Gavin and Stacey

I really wouldn't

I remember a couple of Ricki Lake's 'guests' from my student days. Their names have stayed with me all these years: Twlya Finfrock and Marveleen Panky. You may want to add those to your shortlist.

My middle name is Felicia, pronounced fel-ISS-ee-a

And yes, I did get the fellatio comments at school, and Priscilla ones...I quite like the name though, it's Italian for happy (and I am, usually)

Have you been watching Priscilla Queen of the Desert, OP?

After the Yaniece fiasco, I am of the opinion that ChynaDoll is just having a lend of us, TBH.

I drive a Fel-is-ia. Never thought to refer to it as a Feleesha.

I quite like it as a name. Felicity would be nicer though.

Or how about Celica?

Weren't they on Jeremy Kyle this morning?

Sharnessa is very Rikki Lake, sorry.

It's quite a feminine sound you're going for I think. How about looking up French or Italian names?
Any of these appeal?

OP,
weren't you the one who liked the name Yaniece?

MrsPixie · 15/04/2010 22:17

very American - Rikki Lake...

fulltimeworkingmum · 15/04/2010 22:15

Felicia is way too close to fellatio and future class mates will be all too happy to point this out.
Sharnessa - what is that? Sounds like a brand of dodgy hair dye.

EricNorthmansmistress · 15/04/2010 22:12

Chynadoll your baby names are, pretty much without exception, all bad. but you know that don't you, you either don't give a crap or you are doing it to bait people

Oh, Felicia (Fe LIS ia) is quite nice actually. Sharnessa is vomitous.

DaydreamDolly · 15/04/2010 21:29

They sound like a porn film double act.

No and no. Allydennis says it all really.

cheesesarnie · 15/04/2010 00:01

no and no.sorry

Both names are pretty horrible. Felicia is usually pronounced FelEEsha, AFAIK. Sharnessa sounds like a dreadful made up American name.

MmeLindt · 14/04/2010 22:44

DD had a friend called Felicia. I thought it was really pretty.

Fe-lish-a

NN Feli

That was in Germany though so everyone knew how to pronounce it.

Sharnessa is plain awful.

dizzydixies · 14/04/2010 22:43

yes, really
