A favorite guilty pleasure name is Coeur, the French word for heart. Just for curiosity's sake, does the name sound more masculine or feminine? How do you think people would react to it in the USA?

then people may have more problems pronouncing it than i thought ;) because that was my first instinct.
i can't hear anything remotely like Coeur in the link you provided :-S it sounds like "e-tonka" or something like that

i googled the pronounciation so i could hear it..
yea - i mispronounced that one all over the place!

He said "de tout mon coeur" but I can see how you heard e tonka haha. I studied french but if we were talking about a word from any other language I'd probably have the same reaction to it that you're having!
