i guess my last post stirred up a little controversy, as well as difference of opinion..which is expected and accepted. i made another list just because it seemed like a lot of people participated. some people thought the spellings i provided for some names were kind of outrageous. the only reason why i used those spellings as alternative spellings (example: eoin or owen), is because i've seen them used before on people i grew up with, currently know, etc. so if you're wondering why i used certain spellings again this time, it's only because i've seen the names spelled like that. shrug. people also pronounce names differently, obviously..since we all live in different places and were raised in different ways..but let's just assume the following names are pronounced the same way. i just want to know what spelling you prefer. hope this doesn't cause trouble. if you guys want me to quit with these posts, let me know. :) ♥

Someone would actually name their kid Lenin?!
yea..there was a girl on livejournal who named her son lenin. =/ i like lennon, but spelling it lenin is just...bad.
i knew a girl named moira who pronoucned it MORE-uh, like maura. i've never met another moira though. it's definitely a lot rarer.

hm. that's interesting. maura tierney (actress) pronounces it MORE-uh..and although that doesn't mean it's necessarily correct, that's always how i've pronounced it. i knew a girl who pronounced her name like CAR-uh, but she spelled it mara.
sure. :)
