1. So, you know on Alice in Wonderland, her cat's name is Dinah (Dye-nuh). Is that how you spell it? Or is Dinah pronounced like Dee-nah? How about Dena or Dina? Are all of these pronounced Dee-nuh? And once you get the right spelling for DYE-nuh, does it sound like you're saying "diner" with a British accent, or does it actually sound like a name?

2. Which of these is better, if any (for someone hoping to get the nickname "Kes" out of it):
Kes
Kessa
Kesana / Kesanna
Kesandra / Kessandra
Kesandria / Kesandrea or Kessandria / Kessandrea

3. Is Anice or Annis too close to "anus" to be a good name?

4. How would you pronounce Evalena? I'm thinking ehv-ah-LEE-nuh, but maybe the first letter says eee instead of eh.

5. How about Adeline? ah-dah-lynn, ah-dah-leen, or ah-dah-line (line as in clothes line)? It isn't a terribly common name, but it's very close to Madeline. Like Addison to Madison. I think I'd avoid using either of those, just because they are so close to a popular name. (well, Addison is #107 for 2005, so still popular, but no where near as popular as Madison is).
