Sibset: Theo Emiil, Oliver Tobias, Emilija Isabella.


Thoughts?
I wish they didnt put an extra i in Emil and the unnecessary j in Emilia.

I have a Finnish-American friend who has the double-i thing going on with her name. I assumed this family might have had a similar background and wanted to reflect that in the spellings. I don't mind how they look, nevertheless! Though I'm sure Emilija might have to deal with people mispronouncing the "J" a lot. ;)

I think they all sound great together.

BtN says that Emilija is a Lithuanian, Slovene, Croatian, and Macedonian spelling, but Emiil isn't listed on the site, so I don't know what's up with that. It's also a little weird to have Emiil and Emilija in the same sibset, even if one is a middle and the other a first.

I read "Emilija" like a combo of Emily and Elijah.

wait...is that how u spell Elijah?

now I'm confused.

meeee tooooo.

Yeah, it took me forever to realize that Emilija is most likely supposed to be Amelia/Emelia (which I hate with an E anyway).

I like Theo Emil, but the extra i is weird. Oliver Tobias is probably one of the cutest names I've heard in a while.
