2 of my coworkers recently had children:
Nella had her daughter Sunday, and named her Charity.

Su (he's Vietnamese-Korean and he said it's easier to call him Su than his real name... I think it's Ngoc Quang) and his wife Trahn (she goes by Gisela) had their son a few weeks ago... I was surprised to find out they named him Brayden.

Also, my cousin Amelia is half-Lithuanian and her grandmother's name is Boogmilla.  I know it's not polite to laugh but I had a good chuckle over that.  She also has a cousin named Audra, which means "storm" in Lithuanian (noble strength in English, like Audrey)

Charity and Audra are both nice, imo.

Not a fan of the infinite permutation of rhymes-with-Aiden names, Brayden included.

I like Nella, Amelia, Audrey, and Audrey.

Boogmilla is going to the top of my list. And the G isn't going to be silent.

I love the name Audra, still trying to sell the husband on it.

Nella and Charity are such beautiful names! I'm quite fond of Amelia as well, but I can never decide if I like Audra or not. Some days I do, some days I don't.

I just can't like Charity. It's probably because I knew someone in school whose mother named her Charity and then dumped her on her grandparents and never saw her again.

Play up the Xmen/Storm angle... just might work.

Lovely!
I am not a huge fan of the name, but for this girl it seems right. Had it been a boy, he would have been called Allen, which is Nella backwards lol. (No idea what suggestions came from her husband, she is an extremely independant lady, and she comes from a very female-centric culture)

I read the first bit as the baby being named Sunday, instead of being born on Sunday, and I was like, "that's pretty!" Don't care for Charity, though.
