I was actually thoroughly impressed with my city this week!

Calista Ann (Zachary)
Lena Emese
Dexter Charles Kevin
Alyssa Danielle
Koren Theresa
Rory Emerson (m)
Justin Gerald Robert (Ethan)
Hayden Robert (Siena)
Kevin James
Eva Rose Charlotte
Marynia Uma
Lauren Elizabeth Jennifer (Ella, Colin)
Twins: Madeline Adele, Jonathan Matthew (Avery Rose)


I dislike Koren and Marynia, but other than that they're pretty good! I especially love the sibset of Lauren, Ella and Colin.

I know someone named Emese, but I'm wondering how it's being pronounced in this case ... how would you say it? Or Lena, for that matter.

Kevin James made me smile. Isn't he the guy on King of Queens? Anyway. I only say Lena the way that they say it in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movie: Lee-nah. I guess that it would be Lay-nah though.

idk.

I know i've always heard lena pronouced like lee-nuh

The person I know is Hungarian (I think) and she pronounces it EH-meh-sheh ... sort of. It's hard to get that pronunciation in writing haha.

I've heard Lena several different ways ... Lee-nuh, Len-uh, Lay-nuh...
