You like Rose, Rosalind and Rosaline, but not Rosalie, MY name! :D

I LOVE the following:
Arianna (ah-ree-ah-nuh)
Elinor
Isabelle (but I prefer Isabel)

Ethan
Jonah
Malachy (if this is meant to be Malachi, I hate it and think Malachi is much better and more obvious. If it's the Irish (muh-LACH-ee), I like it.)
Noah
Oliver

More and more Malachy grows on me. I have very little Irish in me though, and it would be weird to me.

Thanks for the compliment!

I used to love, love, love Tatiana and Titania. They are no longer my favorites but I still like them.

Delilah is one of my favorite names, mostly because I like the nickname Del and because of the Tiger & Del books.

I liked Titania via Shakespeare. When I was making up families in my head, I often included twins named Titania and Tatiana. I think that's kind of wrong, now that I am older and wiser, but they are still lovely names.

It would be even worse than that Faith & Hope show. But we could make lots of tit for tat jokes!

I'm not a big fan of most of those names, but if you like it that's fine with me. But I do love Charlotte, Grace, Violet, and Rose. Gabriel is the name of my great-grandfather. And I was named after him and we used the femine verison of his name Gabrielle (my parents pronounced it GAY-BREE-ELLE but I prounounce it GA-BREE-ELLE)

I wish Eleanor was pronounced the same way it is in the USA here. In the UK it's pronounced ell-en-uh. But I like the more prounounced ell-en-or much much better.
