Presenting Kate's favorites!

[katherinew.livejournal.com]

I am a name advisor for one of the largest baby names databases on the internet, so I think it goes without saying that names are my thing. I absolutely adore them.

Unfortunately, that means that I spend a lot of time skimming books and websites and plopping any name that I even slightly appreciate on my favorites list. It is actually at all all time low right now, but it's still ridiculously long. I apologize!

My girl names are a little...I don't know. Messy. I doubt you will find another person who was River and Willow on the same list as Mathilda and Harriet.

in italian it's Ai-oo-LAH-lee-ah.
Ai being the approximative transcription of a closed 'eh' sound.
the french version is Eulalie, pronounced Ea(as in search)-lah-LEE

I love your name. I put it on my list because you mentioned it. :)

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! I was named after a song by the Grateful Dead, "Rosalee McFall." My dad picked it (and the better -lie spelling) after he vetoed Guenevere. Thank goodness (IMO).
