My husband and I are going through our respective lists of names and making a shortlist. I'd love some outside opinions. Be honest with me, I promise I can take it, haha. Drawbacks, teasing nicknames, feel free to say whatever. We're kind of hippies, keep that in mind.

There is no female name Neila

My cousin born in 1961 is Yuriy Alekseevich. And I wanted a son Neil. Before I had known my third child is the daughter I looked for female analogue of the name Neil. There are two rare names in Russia: Nil (greek Neilos) and Nila (greek Neonila). But Armstrong's name is rather gallic.
  Well, she is girl named Elina (now popular cossack and russian name). I always joke we gave her that name because she was born when the match between Germany and Greece(Ellas) happenned
Today I've read Armrstrong's phrase "I am, and ever will be, a white-socks, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer, born under the second law of thermodynamics, steeped in steam tables, in love with free-body diagrams, transformed by Laplace and propelled by compressible flow". I can't say "me too", hardly believe I will ever work in an airspace industry again. RIP. вечного полета
