My cousin Talitha is having a daughter who she plans to name Shoshana Carleigh.

I dont like it. At all. I told her that the name doesnt appeal to me at all, but she wouldnt stand for it. Maybe it will grow on me, but I'm not sure.

As for names I suggested-
Kirie: Ky-ree. I am a mommy's helper for three little girls, one of which's name is Kirie Nicole. I dont exactly like Nicole, but I adore Kirie.

Adéla: Another one of the girls I am a mommy's helper for is named Macie Adéla. I LOVE it, especially Adéla.

Tallie said she'd consider them at least a tiny bit, but she doesn't seem to like them.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to names like Shoshana or Carleigh that she might like?

i think that kyrie is pronounced differently, though... isn't it keer-eee-ay?

[ladyofmoonlight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Kirie is pronounced syllabically, kee-ree-ay. I mean, you could pronounce it Kirie if you're using it as a made up name or something, but if you're going for the correct pronunciation from Japanese it has all three syllables.

It's Japanese too? Is it a name, or a word for something?

(I think longwrongroad was referring to Kyrie as in "Lord (have mercy)" in Greek)

When i sing Mass.. Kyrie, it's pronounced keer-eee-ay, latin? hmm i don't know, i'm not religious so i don't have a clue what i'm singing about!

Greek. It's the vocative of Kyrios, which means Lord, so "Kyrie" itself means something like "O Lord."

So yes, Kee-ree-ay.
