Wow, I didn't realize the different Sara(h)s are supposed to be pronounced differently. Huh. ~the more you know

[kort-ni.livejournal.com]

Ann (because it's my middle name/a family name)
Leslie
Eric
Rebecca
Elizabeth
Lilly (because it was my great gram's name)
Britney (probably because I am Courtney)
Rachel
Zoe (because I am not a fan of superfluous y's)


Sarah?
Hilary
Lindsey
Sky
Star
Kristin
Dennis
Mark
Edmond
Jane (again, superfluous y)
Paige (Page isn't a name it's a noun)
Tabatha
Suzanne
May or Mae (hmm I like both)
Phillip
Madeline
Victor
Roger
Alan
Scarlett
Brian

I didn't put Madeleine because it was pronounced so differently, not even realizing the Debra/Deborah and stuff are way different. Ha, oops.

Anne - I was raised on Anne of Green Gables: "Print out A-N-N and it looks absolutely dreadful, but Anne with an 'e' is quite distinguished."

For most of these others, I don't mind either spelling, but they kind of seem like different names to me. I like these ones a little better:

Lesley
Eric
Rebecca
Elisabeth
Lily
Brittany
Rachel
Zoe
Sarah
Hilary
Lindsey (even though my best friend is a Lindsay, and she would hurt me for saying this)
Skye
Starr
Kristen
Dennis (Denis is a completely different pronunciation to me)
Mark
Edmund
Jane
Paige
Tabitha
Susanne
May
Phillip
Madeline (if the last syllable is "line" ... otherwise I like Madeleine)
Victor
Roger
neither - Allan!
Scarlett
Brian
Lucas
Leigh
Deborah

[unboundvoice.livejournal.com]

I was raised on that movie too and that was my reasoning for Anne with an 'e' :)
