My friend emailed me some of the names in the classes she teaches since she knows I find names interesting     She started teaching (high school) this year.    I had to look up some names to be sure, but I most I could put into the guy/girl category.   There were a few I didn't have a clue.

I love the name Adrian. I also like Raquel.
It looks like she has a pretty diverse class.

I was thinking the same thing when I was looking up some of the names to see if they were guy or girl.

Dragana

O__o

[namegirl.livejournal.com]

I actually know a Dragana, she's middle aged and from Serbia originally though

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

Very common Croatian/Serbian name.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I would pronounce it that way if I was speaking French, and otherwise I guess maybe as cuh-MEEL ??

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

I know 2 Camilles and both say Ca-MEAL, with slightly less enunciation on the two sounds in meal. It's one syllable for certain.

[cathkitten.livejournal.com]

In French it would be more like ca-MEE-yuh. Very little 'uh' sound on the end because it's a double l. ca-MEE would be 'Camil.'

I actually like both the French and English pronounciations.

I like Raquel and surprisingly I actually like Anouchka...Severene and Dragana both sound like evil characters in Harry Potter or something.

ooh Anastacia AND Astrid. LOVE!

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I agree COMPLETELY.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Thought I may associate it too much with White Oleander... still a pretty name.

[sisterjoy.livejournal.com]

Me too! I need add Astrid to my list that I haven't written yet:)

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

My husband works with a girl named Mouna. Never heard the name before that & now it pops up somewhere else. weird. :)

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

I ♥ Laetitia.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

Anne-Severine is so pretty. Although Severine was the name of the Catherine Deneuve character in Belle de Jour, so...there's an association I couldn't get past to use the name ;) (Great movie though.)
