Gilda
Harmon
Hugh (Family name)

Also what do you think of Sabrina (put aside connections to Audrey Hepburn and the teenage witch)
When I was typing Rosalind, I accidentally put Rosaling and thought it was interesting. I think I would pronounce it ROZ-a-leen.

Sabrina isn't bad. I used to work with a Sabrina, and she was funny and nice, kind of tough, lol. I still see it on sort of a ditzy girl for some reason, though.

I don't like, but would like to comment on:
Everard -I prefer Everett much more!
Harmon -Looks like an imcomplete Harmony to me. :) Harmony. ♥
I don't vare for Sabrina, but only because this strange girl in school ruined it for me. I swear she was demon possessed. O.o

Reminds me of Rosling(pro. ROZ-ling), but Rosling is a surname.

And I LOVE the name Sabrina (although I'm a big Audrey Hepburn fan and "Sabrina" is one of my favorite movies). I had it on my girlie name list but Patrick vetoed it. I think it's girlie and a bit frilly sounding, but also competent and smart.
Leslie edd 4/17/05. Baby should be arriving via c-section April 8th, though.
