Now, do you pronounce it "Heh-Len-Uh?" Or "Heh-Lay-Nuh"?

I love Helena Florence, Silas Ross & Ralph Godfrey.

I also like Martha, sort of.

Stella Blanche...am I the only one who is reminded of A Streetcar Named Desire everytime I see these names paired together somewhere?

hehe
my name is May but i also write it with "I" in the end instead of "Y" (Mai)
because in my language people call me-"Maa-i'
and not "Me-y" but if id write May with Y people from the US would call me "Me-y" and i kinda hate that. ugh i hate it i dont know how to really write my name anmore.
ive been called after the month may,
is it really a victorian name?

I'm usually all about old timey names, but these didn't rub my sweet spot as much as I expected.

I liked:
- Christianna (but only because it looks like my name, and I am an egoist)
- Estella / Stella
- Ethel
- Jerusha (it's so wtf)
- Euphemia
- Adelia
- Lenora
- Eleanor


- Felix
- Oscar
- Wentworth (seriously, Wentworth?! I love it)
- Theophilus (again with the wtf)
- Theodore
- Meredith (fucking awesome)
