I like Safira, it's just hard to roll off the tongue...I have to keep looking at it to make sure I'm pronouncing it right!

I really love Giuliano. If I had a little Italian bambino boy, I'd go for that one! :)

I like Melani and Caterina.

I know a little kid called Safira =)
As for the rest: wow, those are some very uncommon names! I only like Luna. But that's getting popular here, too.
I can't stand the name Mirella. And Belma is awful, IMO.

is that 'sa-fear-ah'?

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

No she pronounces it Sa-fee-rah. Maybe because we're living in Holland ;)

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

Very pretty! For me the two pronunciations are very close.

I think Ive is misspelled. Shouldn't it be I've? :P Oooh, or how about Youve.. I think that is much prettier than Ive. Makes me wonder if Ive is a boy, or a girl? (comment laden with sarcasm, in case it is hard to tell)

I think maybe that one is sort of hispanic, pronounced EE-veh.
I'll look it up.

I actually pronounce Melanie like me-lah-nee! So how do you pronounce Melanie? Now I'm curious ;)

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Ah I see =) Yeah I pronounce it like Mehl-ah-nee too ;)

for some reason Belma made me crack up

I'm wondering why so many italian old-fashioned names.. o.O

[megumi-nagase.livejournal.com]

Well, i forget to add that i'm from Argentina, so here the names are most Spanish or Italian. There some kids with english names like Brian, Kevin, Melanie, Jennifer and i know a 10 years old girld named Melody (name wich i love!), but only a few have that kind of names.

ah then that's why :)
