I really like Livia and I don't mind Ryan as a girls' name, but I don't like the extra n.

Oohh and Dayanara - it's a slight variant of Deyanira, which I *think* is a Jamaican name? There's a girl (about 21 or 22) I know with that name and I know her family is from Jamaica, so I think that might be where it's from.

I love Chaya. It is not said like the Ch in Cherry. It's the Hebrew letter Khaf.

I love Jett and Livia. Even though Livia looks somewhat unfinished and should be Olivia i do like it...
Jet has been a secret love of mine for years! Ace middle name material i think...

I like Jet(t) for a middle name too.

Nehemiah is a biblical name so I guess that's why it's retained popularity.
