I really like Alina and Alisa. I was going to be called Danuta which I really am NOT fond of. Thankfully I was called Martyna instead :D

I like Marta and Vera, and I have a good friend named Veronica.

I love the name Nataly ...but I spell it with an -ie

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

Back when I wanted to be a fashion designer (I was, like, all of 16) I had it in mind to go by Danica.

I love Nicolette, it is my favourite name on the list.

[eleanorgrace.livejournal.com]

Iryne - I don't love the odd spelling, but the name is nice and traditional
Nataly - I like the name a lot, but with an -ie
Danica - a kind of unusual one, but it seems trendy (even if it's not exactly)
Danuta - sounds made up, dunno if it is
Donna - I like it, but it seems dated
Emerald - I like it; it strikes me as kind of earthy
Alina - I don't like names that are mostly vowels
Nicolette - cute, a little frivolous maybe
Zorianna - same, but more eccentric
Lynn - I like it as a nickname
Yana - could be a cute nickname, but I wouldn't use it alone
Ava - very classy, also quite common
Roxolana - sounds made up and (sorry) kind of trashy
Roxi - a cute nick name, but also slightly on the trashy side
Tanya - I like this name a lot, but it's not as traditional as I usually like
Alysse - I don't like the spelling; is it supposed to be Alice or Elise?
Alyssa - cute, but too many vowel sounds I think
Alisa - is this said the same? if so, see above plus I don't like the spelling
Sonya - cute
Marlene - old fashioned, but very pretty
Marlena - same, I think I like this better than Marlene
Alexa - cute, with cute nickname options
Jade - I love this name, dunno why
Mila - I like it, but all the Mil(l)as I've known have been Russian, so I don't know that I'd use it, being entirely non-Russian
Lada - sounds kind of like a nonsense sound
Mariah - I can't really take it seriously--vowel sounds plus the singer
Marta - very cute, pref. as a nickname
Vera - not my style, but pretty
Veronica - I love this name; it's beautiful
Ulana - I've never heard it, but it's not my style

I like Roxi and Danica. My name is Mariah(I go by Rya though), I don't think it's that unusual. It gets misspelled and mispronounced way too much.

Emerald is mom's favorite, and Danica is my sister's favorite.

I don't like any of them, but I love the Postal Service, as a Seattle-native.

What sort of psychological findings? (I'm a psych major, I am immediately interested)

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

Iryne - I don't like this spelling, and the name Irene is just generally "old" to me
Nataly - also a bad spelling
Danica - I like this name, but it's too modern for me
Danuta - too weird
Donna - this is my MIL's name, and I love her, so I like the name. NMS tho
Emerald - weird, but I see the value
Alina - I really like this name and all its variations, Alana being my fave
Nicolette - Sounds like "nicorette"
Zorianna - I'm not into Z, but I like most -ianna names
Lynn - dull
Yana - very Russian sounding. Or Greek.
Ava - Popular but beautiful. I like Ava Josephine a lot
Roxolana - Ok WEIRD. I don't like Roxy at all
Roxi - No way
Tanya - Very 80s
Alysse - I prefer Alyssa
Alyssa - I like this
Alisa - I like this spelling if it's said the same way as above. I don't like uh-lee-suh
Sonya - NMS, but nice
Marlene - No way
Marlena - Cute. I like Helena better
Alexa - Cute
Jade - CUte, nms
Mila - Sounds like a boy's name gone girly
Lada - weird
Mariah - ok
Marta - I like this because I love Hispanic names
Vera - ok...kinda old
Veronica - cute!
Ulana - Ugh. I don't like U names at all. AT ALL. They all remind me of...private body parts. lol
