Jonas and Toby -- LOVE!!! In fact, Tobias and Jonah are in my Top 3.
Amaliya Lisa -- that "iya" always throws me off. Is it Eye-ah? Ee-ya?So I hate that. And I don't think Lisa really goes with it either way. But I've seen worse.
Tje -- ...why?
Nakia -- not-my-style-but-not-horrible on a girl. On a boy? ...
Esmeralda -- very nice
Keir -- mixed feelings. I kind of like it, but I knew a boy named Keir years ago, whose mother called him Keir-Bear and other kids would call him Carrie... I don't think I'd ever use it, too much possibility for teasing.
I finally heard how Amaliya is pronounced. It's a-MAH-lee-ah. Tje & Nakia, yeah those were complete surprises. Nakia is sometimes called Kia so I was even more confused that a man was being addressed.
As far as i know they are not from other countries. In the case of Tje, he mentioned he's adopted and I don't know if he was named by birth parents or adopted family or what. Nakia, i know even less. they were on that show The Voice on NBC. You can see what they look like here (http://www.nbc.com/the-voice/video/week-four-battle-nakia-and-tje-austin-sing-closer/1328039/) if you're interested.
