babynamesI saw Lillian crop up on a post here a while ago (don't remember which one) and ever since it's been in the back of my mind. I'm too lazy to go back and look to see what everyone thinks of it, so I'll just ask for opinions again!! Also, middle names?
How would you pronounce the name Jaya? If you wanted it to sound like JIE-ah, how would you spell it? Then, of course, what do you think of it in general.
Then, I found these twin girls names on a myspace group, WDYT:
Fiona Brenna and Kaitriona Elizabeth::gag::
And I have to ask.. what do you think when you hear the name Brooke Otis? (I don't know the middle name, sorry) I just wanna see if anyone else has the same reaction that I did...

Date: 2006-07-22 12:39 am (UTC)I would pronounce Jaya the way you seem to want it pronounced JIE-ah. I love it. (I was actually trying to think of how I was going to write out the prounciation and then you did in the next sentence lol)
Fiona Brenna I could handle on a random child, but Kaitriona (wow) Elizabeth is just horrible IMO.
Brooke Otis. I hate it. Is it a girl or a guy? Brooke is pretty much a girl's name to me but Otis is definitely a male name. And there's another name on top of that? Poor child regardless of gender.

Date: 2006-07-22 12:47 am (UTC)I would pronounce Jaya like the Jay in Blue Jay and an ah so Jay-ah. But if you want to pronounce it JIE-ah, I say go for it!
Fiona is very pretty, but I don't think it goes with Brenna. Kaitriona is, well, could they be trying any harder to make it rhyme with Fiona?! Elizabeth is nice though.
Too me Brooke is a girls name and Otis is a boys name so they look a little off together. But if one's last name is Otis, what's there to do? Every feminine name will look a bit odd next to it initially.

It just sounds like a disease. It had always been the mothers dream to name her daughter Brooke, so no one would say anything to her. Now, if they had of let me near her...

Middle names for Lillian:
Lillian Grace
Lillian May
Lillian Marie
Jaya would be pronounced "Jay-uh"
Spelling for it to sound like "JIE-ah" would be Jia, Jiah, or even Jiya.
I don't see anything wrong with Brooke Otis, since its just her last name.

Date: 2006-07-22 01:44 am (UTC)I am leaning towards "Jie" because if I saw the name Kaya, I think I would say "KIE-uh".

Date: 2006-07-22 04:03 am (UTC)Jaya, Jaia, etc.. look like they could be Jay-a
and Jia/Gia could be "jee-ah"
Brooke Otis isn't the worst name in the world, although I wouldn't pick it. You don't have to say the full name all the time.
