Hiya,Farrah Leigh - When spoken aloud it almost sounds like "fairly", but isn't too bad
Hana Luree - Not quiet sure how to pr. Luree, I like Hana but prefer Hanna
Gabriella Alysa - Not a big fan all of the "-ella" names but it sounds good.
Albany Jahzara -Isn't too bad. There has been worse.
Valentina - Nice
Laury - Would be better as a nn for Lauren, Laura, etc., and Laurie would look better if it wasn't
used as a nn
Allie Genevieve - Sounds good, but again, it would be better if Allie was used as a nn
Layni Nicole - I prefer Laney, love Nicole, sounds good together
Alyssa Love - Isn't bad. I'm not sure about "Love" though
Haylee Marie - I don't like the spelling of Haylee (prefer Hailey or Hayley) but it sounds really nice.
I think Haylee Maria would sound a little more rounded off and softer though. The two "e" endings
are a little harsh.
Taylor Rose - Nice.
Lilly Maria - Would be really nice if Lilly was a nn for Lillian, etc, but a very beautiful name nonetheless.
Keiarah Nevaeh - I don't see the need for the extra vowels and I'm not quiet sure (still) on how to
pr. Nevaeh, but I don't mind Kiera (if that's what it's supposed to be)

Edward
Martin (LOVE it)

Nathaniel S xx--
Many terrorists go to America legally and hang around on expired visas (some for as long as 10 -15 years). At Blockbuster you're two days late with a video rental and those people are all over you. I think we should put Blockbuster in charge of US immigration.
