I actually thought of Clarke for a girl when I was a teenager. I didn't love it or anything, just thought, "hey, that could work."

McKey makes me think its mick-KEY.

Yikes, though, ShaRaun, Analeigh and Nekysha are painful.

As I posted somewhere below, I knew an Analia once (pn.Anna-Leah), and yeah, she got Anal-leah sometimes.
Only by 15 year old boys with too many hormones, though ;)

Looking at it, I would say Mick-kay. The only ones that I actually hate are Isis, Nekysha and ShaRaun.

I'm waiting to see the show's treatment of her before I cheer, but I agree that it's definitely good for them simply to include a woman with a trans history in a women's competition.

I like:

Analeigh (I like the idea here, but this spelling is sort of gross and I can't figure out how to make it better)
Elina (I like Elena)
Hannah
Joslyn (It's a secret! They broke my spirit and I kind of like it now)
Marjorie (Hot damn I love old lady names)

im of the mindset that "if they even choose a transgender woman to be top 20 (or top whatever), that alone is a milestone regardless of anything else"...but you guys are right, treatment does make a difference

Yeah, see, she's so not my type, haha. Too typical of a model for me. I liked Kim. Mmmmmm Kim.

well, beautiful as in she makes a good looking woman. i've seen some transgendered women who just dont look so good as a woman...she, however, does.

that is true. i'm just not a fan of the whole super skinny super femme model types, haha.

I did not hear that at all. Wow! That's potentially amazing for ANTM.

she's really quite beautiful as well

Even if she won, her career would be quite restricted. She'd always be labelled as the transgender model, and a lot of advertizers just wouldn't want their product to be associated with a transgender woman.

Elina and Elena are two different names, in my experience, it's not a misspelling or spelling variation (although like Elena, it might be a variation of Helen, but I still sonsider it a different name, like Sean and Evan are both variations of John, but different names still). It's very Russian. I grew up in a Russian neighborhood so I went to school with three different Elinas. I also knew three different Alinas, though one was Russian and two were Armenian.

Oh, I've never though that Elina is a very Russian name since I feel that is is a very Finnish name :D I've never met a Russian called Elina but I know a lot of Finnish Elina's :>) But many names that are used in Finland are also used in Russia.

Oh maybe it is a finnish name the russians adopted like Bella. of all the Bellas I've ever known, they've ALL been Russian, even though it's a latin word. Or of Latin origin I mean. But I've never known any French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese or Romanian girls with that name, only Russian.

I've never actually met a Finnish person. I don't think Finland is too economically poor. I live in Queens, NYC, so we're a whole melting pot of different ethnicities but the majority of them are from economically poor countries. Some people I know have such sad stories of how they got here too, like all the Uzbeki Jews that fled... But anyway, yeah, lots of Russians named Elina (and Bella)

One of my best friends is called Eline.

I only like Hannah, sort of, and Analeigh is ok...I knew an Analia once (pn.Anna-Leah).

My friend's cousin is named Isis, but it's in Spanish, so it's pronounced "eee-cease".
