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.

Analeigh = anally
in my head

HAHAHAHA.

I'd vote for Samantha!

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

Has it been discussed yet that isis (who's name i'm in love with) is a transgendered woman? WOOT! power to ANTM!

but back on topic...yeah isis is the only name i like

[http://users.livejournal.com/__recidivist/]

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)

ummm . . . is clark seriously on a girl?

i like:
elina - spelled elena
hannah
joslyn - spelled jocelyn
lauren
samantha

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

wait, really?? wow, that has the potential to be awesome. but i agree with __recidivist -- wait and see how they treat her before we cheer.

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.

[lovablemess.livejournal.com]

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

[icebyrd67.livejournal.com]

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

she's really beautiful too!

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).

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

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 ;)

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.

[satunian.livejournal.com]

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)

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

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

[icebyrd67.livejournal.com]

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.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

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

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

When did the new season start?!

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

Isis is pretty.
That is all I will say lol.

[mrandmrschippy.livejournal.com]

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.

[nandy-pandy.livejournal.com]

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