Friends of mine have just had their second daughter - Eliana joins big sister Isabella. With an Italian surname, I think that these are both pretty.

My cousin had a little boy a few months ago, called Ryan Phillip. Nice, normal, no particular opinion on it.

My other cousin plans to call her baby, if it's a boy, Phwelyn. I'm guessing at the spelling, as it's a made up name. Apparently it's from an RPG game that her and her husband play. It makes me sad. If the baby is a girl, they'll call her Chloe.

WDYT?

I love Eliana and Isabella. Ryan Phillip and Chloe are great. However, Phwelyn is horrible. WHY?!? How is it pronounced? It looks Welsh and would be pronounced Foo-ellun. That doesn't sound good at all. :(

Ryan Phillip = way too close to Ryan Phillippe for me. That's originally what I thought it said and I was like "holy crap." But that's probably only an issue for somebody who's into celebrities.

Don't care for any of them, really. Phwelyn looks like it could be a legit name, but the sound, whatever it's supposed to be, is ugly. Too bad it wasn't just Phelan or something.

Phwelyn is full of Phwail. :(

Let us hope their baby is a boy.

I hadn't noticed it before, but around where I live, there is a surge in the use of Chloe/Khloe. Madison/Addison/Isabella are still the highest that I've noticed, though.

I knew a kid in elementary school named Ryan Phillips so the name sounds okay in my mind.

I hope they have a Chloe.

I know you said that Phwelyn is supposed to be pronounced "Fway-lun", but I want to pronounce it like "Foolin". And that's not good. At all.

None of the other names are my style, but they are good names!

Ryan Philip makes me think of Ryan Phillippe. It's not bad, though.
I like Isabella, and Eliana and Chloe are okay.
Phwelyn? That's, um, yea... D: I'm with everyone else on wanting to pronounce it something like Foo-el-un. Hope they have a girl, haha.

I don't really like any of the names, but Ryan Phillip (I thought of Ryan Phillippe too!) is nice.

I am a gamer. Have been since there were video games (I'm old lol). I have used names I love for characters before (in fact most of my top names are currently in use in some fashion lol) and occasionally come across names I like on other peoples characters or in-game. HOWEVER.I would never give my child a game exclusive name. Especially one that doesn't sound pretty.

Ewww at Phwelyn! Poor hypothetical child. You know, I don't even like the name Chloe much at all - but it's MILES better than that atrocity. I really hope the baby is a girl.

I hope it's a girl. As overdone as Chloe may be, Phwelyn is much worse.
