Aliza isn't always a creative spelling of Eliza. In modern Hebrew it is its own name, and it means "joy." My mom's (English) name is Joy, and her Hebrew name is Aliza Sarai. :) In Hebrew it is pronounced uh-LEE-zuh.


Athos is my favorite from your list, I wish you knew his middle name! :)

Ah, thanks for the info! I was too quick to judge as far as Aliza. Good to know the back story :)

Will check on that middle name and get back to you....

Okay, we're pretty sure it's Athos Leopold. Last name starts with R, two syllables, ends in a vowel.

I do like Leo :)

Oh man, I really like Leopold! That is just adorable with Athos!


Verbena is growing on me too... :)
